I'm so ready for the weekend. But it's going to be a brief one for me and not start in earnest until tomorrow at 2:30. I'm working 6 - 2:30 tomorrow and till 5:45ish today. Thankfully, from home, but it still limits the free time. When I do have free time tonight, hoping my wife and I can continue marathon-ing the current season of Scream, which has been scary good. Hoping to relax, eat well, maybe play some more Metroid Prime. If my wife has free time from studying it would be great to play some more Secret of Mana with her, in addition to watching Scream. Otherwise, just hoping for a chilled out weekend, however brief.

So, what are y'all up to this first weekend in August?
 
Portuguese feast. Grilling meats.

Trivia and relaxing with my girlfriend tonight.
Maybe seeing Suicide Squad tomorrow.
Cleaning the apartment Sunday as I move out Thursday morning.
 
Tomorrow going to binge Stranger Things with my date. I need some snack advice, since its about 9 hours long.
 
Working and going to Calypso (a waterpark in Ontario), and then I'm off for a full week (just in time for No Man's Sky).
 
Quakes game tonight.

Watch the opening ceremony tomorrow (dvr) and a bit of the games, bball and boxing, and then head out for dinner and Suicide Squad in the evening. Might hit some golf balls as well, not sure.

Sunday, no plans, I do have to drop off my car to get the alarm fixed but that's easy, just gonna hang out, catch up on some tv shows on my dvr.

Before you know it, it's Monday. :(

Pistachios would be my suggestion if they weren't so damned expensive. It's why I stopped eating them :(.

$11/bag is what I think they are now. A couple of years ago, they were $7-8.
 
Working! Six days to go, starting tomorrow. I'll be off next weekend though. Thinking of getting a round of DnD in with friends and going to the gym.
 
Going to a birthday party tonight that I really don't want to go to but have to. Tomorrow we are going to the OC fair and Sunday we are going to test run the local subway system near our new apartment and go shopping at ikea for some much needed furniture!
 
I have Saturday afternoon open. I'll probably see my mom for a moment as she is coming from Ohio to meet with my fiancé as she is going wedding dress shopping.

I'll probably play Rainbow 6 and Overwatch in that time frame.

Sunday is a toss up. I'd like to go on a bike ride but I'll have to check the weather.
 
Have to take my dog to the vet. He came back from his in-laws (my girlfriend came back first, and now he's on his way), but he hurt his leg and has a limp. He's able to jump on shit like a moron, and it isn't swollen, so we are hoping it's at max a fracture, but still shitty they aren't doing anything to help out.
 
Tacos, beer, Olympics, crib building, introducing my sister and brother-in-law to my newborn.

Probably a haircut, probably not some time in the office.
 
heading to beach house. play tennis. go for a run. pool. beach. go to some estate sales. prep for my trip to NOLA next week. prep for no mans sky on tuesday!

Let her snack on your sausage.

get Boom Chicka Popcorn, maybe some veggeis and hummus. some cape cod potato chips and sour cream & onion dip(mix a packet of Lipton onion soup mix and a half quart of fage greek yogurt). get some salted pawk ie. proscuitto, salami, pepperoni, sopressata etc. pair it up with varying cheeses. some crackers some olives etc. ie. make a charcuterrie board. also at lunch or dinner time, make an actually meal instead fo jsut snacking all day. ( you cna precook/prep the meal or most of it tonight)

also, get beers, wine, cocktail mixers/ alk.... get champagne and oj for mimosas for Sunday morning. make her and egg breakfast. any way you like. could be an ommelette, could be an egg sandwich on a croissant or bagel, could just be eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns
 
Tubing down the river with wifey and a group of couples and then partying at a bud's cabin until Sunday afternoon. Will try and squeeze in 9 holes of golf if there's time. So much fun shit do to with so little time to do it in! Life is great!
 
My band is playing a show tonight and then tomorrow and Sunday I will be relaxing and preparing for an apprenticeship interview on Monday afternoon.
 
I'm going to a wedding!

Not mine. Not even my friends. A friend of my brother is getting married. At least there will be booze. I don't know if there will be an open bar. I hope there will.

Otherwise, i'll be looking to level-up my geekitude by playing my first Xwing tournament. Not the old computer game, that would be too cool. THe game with the little models you have fight. Like warhammer but less cool. I play rebels because I hate winning.
 
At my girlfriend's place today working on cloning her win7 oem install to a ssd. Clonezilla and gparted with a spare drive that has backups off both drives. May need to use those with the dust buildup on my memory of the process.

Saturday I'm getting together with friends and playing uncharted 3 and possibly something on ps1.

Sunday: heading to ocean city for the day with the gf and her club.

Somewhere in there I should get cracking on an excel project for class.

edit: Borked the cloning. Failed to double check that the partition on the larger drive had been properly shrunk, clonezilla copied the bootloader but not the rest. Went into gparted and was shrinking the partition but aborted the operation in favor of restoring the hdd from backup. Checked backup and I only had a disk image of the ssd.

Restored the ssd install. Girlfriend's dad has a Seagate backup on their network that we can likely use to recover the files (don't think it was doing disk images for the backups though that'd be amazing).

Going to repurchase win 7 myself as the whole situation has been my screw up. Lesson learned: triple check that there are backups for all drives involved before doing any large scale file transfers.
 
Working

The place I am working suffered smoke damage from a fire two doors down. Spent the last 3 days clearing stock and now the manager wants to throw out old fixtures.
 
Toronto FC match tomorrow with a buddy, this will be my last weekend for the next several months that is not entirely consumed by soccer, as the Premier League starts next weekend. That plus MLS is basically morning to evening footy.

Sunday will likely just be relaxing with my girlfriend, maybe some gaming before more MLS matches, haha.
 
Going to a show tonight with a friend. Not sure about tomorrow. Might take it easy seeing as how i'll have gone out Thursday and Friday.
 
Just cycled home, somewhat drunk, from a Tapas place where I was hanging with Portuguese and various South American workmates.

Apparently we are going out tomorrow as well.
 
A lot of my friends are away so I really don't know, probably nothing worth mentioning, just playing games and watching whatever's intriguing on Netflix.

Two recommendations for ya: Stranger Things for TV and The Fundamentals of Caregiving for a movie.
 
Watching Suicide Squad tomorrow, so I hope its great. Since my GF is at her parents I'll just have a few rounds with Jill then probably relax with some Coronas while listening to some Juan Gabriel.
 
Well, thought I was going to participate in a threesome, but looks like that's not going to happen. Other than that, I'll go out and see this other girl.
 
Might go for a bike ride up in the mountains tomorrow. Also, planning to have coffee with someone.

Clean my apt, as it's a freaking mess since this week has been super draining and I haven't had the motivation to clean.
 
Learning some Japanese, binge watching the second half of Stranger things (just watched the first 4 episodes last night), and doing a little bit of work for university (currently modelling a multi-rotor UAV in Simulink). Ha, and going for a run sometime on Sunday.
