Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the foreseeable future. Enjoy your weekend!

Old friends and their kids are coming to visit for about half a week. Haven’t seen them for a few years. No big plans: just hang out and catch up.

Wife is playing spyro. Kids are play roblox. And I am ready to play this.

Happy Birthday!

[-] RealAccountNameHere@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

Man, you are all such nerds, and that's why I feel at home here. :)

I'm going to continue playing Tears of the Kingdom and hopefully crush pull day at the gym tomorrow.

[-] Rekorse@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I've never heard of a "pull day" at the gym before, what's that mean?

[-] RealAccountNameHere@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, don't get me started talking about lifting! You'll never get me to shut up. :-)

It's a way to describe the "split" that a person does at the gym. I do the so-called PPL ("push, pull, legs"), split, meaning that on some workouts I'm focusing on the muscles that generally push things away from you (like the muscles of the chest, the shoulders, and the triceps), and on others, I train the "pulling" muscles (the lats, traps, and biceps). Then of course there's leg day!

All it is is a shorthand to structure your workouts so that you don't fatigue the same muscle on subsequent days. Hope that helps!

Drinking, smoking, and trying to convince myself that "ok, tomorrow is it, stop drinking and start walking".

I just finished watching the first John wick while having a beer! Going to pour myself a glass of wine and watch the second one now

At that rate you'll be hammered by the fourth one

I'm sick. So I'm just passing time on my bed, setting up a new laptop I just got. Not super exciting, but it's always fun getting a new toy.

Tonight was trans march. Tomorrow is dyke march. Then, time to sleep :)

Probably hitting up some stores with the wife tomorrow. We looked at paints last weekend for the house and found them to be a bit dark, so we’re going a little lighter! May wash that down with some Korean BBQ and then probably spin up some characters on Diablo 4 with the wife too. Guild Wars 2 has had my attention lately too, so I may farm achievements on that

The Princess Bride is as wonderful a book as it is a movie! You're gonna love it 😊

I'm gonna be cleaning my apartment because we're finally getting a couch!! And I need to get the place in order so it's easy to maneuver it in. We've lived in our place for a few months already but still in box city... so it's nice to have something to force me to unpack and make it look presentable.

[-] Rekorse@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I think it was nearly 3 years in our new house before we finally opened the last box and sorted it all so don't feel to bad!

[-] foxtrots@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you!! That's very validating to hear 😊

My husband and I have decided to start our own book club this weekend. We are nerds and both enjoy reading but he has limited time and I have limited patience with it because I had a stroke a few years ago and it's not as easy as it used to be for me. We're starting with short stories and we'll just read one at a time ad discuss when we're done. I'm hoping it will improve my skills over time and I know we'll enjoy the extra bonding. We're reading A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms by George R R Martin. He's read all of the ASOIAF books and I've not read any of them. We've both watched both of the related TV shows.

[-] StarLuigi 5 points 1 year ago

That sounds like so much fun!

[-] Bluu@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

That’s really cool. Tried to do something similar with my partner, but we didn’t end up sticking with it. We tend to have different reading habits. I like to read one book at a time and he always has a few he’s actively working through. The timing was just always off.

Finally getting some time to discover this site and getting myself used to browsing here.

[-] mizzyc@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I can give you an advice: don't stop trying to get used to kbin.
For me, at the beginning it felt a little complex and hard to find what I wanted, but after some days it started to feel like home and everything now makes sense (except for the upvote button that don't really upvote a post)!

Visiting my Dad in Toronto. Seeing the sights with my family for the first time. Just wrapping it all up and loving the overall pride vibe. Happy Pride to everyone! Spread love... I'm sending it right now!

[-] maybeamonster@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Racing a sailboat from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay, spending the night there and motoring back on Sunday. We've been doing well in the ocean races so far this year, so I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow.

Enjoy the book! I've not read it yet either, though I plan to some day. :)

It's my birthday on Sunday but due to my previous landlord fucking me over I am very broke this paycheck so no real plans other than stay home and be with my wife.

[-] Calvinball@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday! Enjoy spending time with your loved one, that's a present in and of itself! Also, fuck landlords

Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.

Downloaded Surveillance Capitalism and going to play Diablo 4

I'm finally getting a quiet weekend where I don't have to go anywhere. I plan on finishing this week's to-do list, and then Saturday night a friend and I are having our weekly anime night. We're watching Demon Slayer. Then Sunday I want to watch The Amazing Mr. X from 1948.

I will be continuing to learn UE5, catch up on some work, and hopefully feel better. Had to go to urgent care today for a appendicitis scare. X-Rays looked good so I just got steroids.

Recovering from work this week. Getting ready to fly cross-country. Probably going to have to spend the next day running errands and going shopping before starting it all over again on Monday.

Get high. Drink vodka. Watch The Office. Laugh uncontrollably. In no particular order, and all with my amazing wife. That's just tonight tho. Tomorrow we have to clean the house. I'll be high for that too because cleaning sucks.

[-] benkinder@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

No specific plans but probably a combination of Diablo IV and System Shock :)

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Our weather has been all over the place, so If it cools off probably a long bike ride with my wife. It it gets hot again then hopefully planting our butts in one of the glacial runoff rivers to stay cool.

Saturday afternoon where I am. But last night I went out for dinner and drinks with a few friends, tonight I have a 30th birthday party to attend, and tomorrow I'm playing dungeons and dragons

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Three hours of community radio broadcasting from home, then maybe finish cleaning the caravan, put some washing on while the sun is hitting the solar panels, maybe a trip to bunnings to get some root killer for the sewer, and drop a dead dishwasher to the recycling place.

Two TTRPG sessions (Dungeons & Dragons in person, Call of Cthulhu online), going swimming at the public pool, working some more on my translations of German folk tales.
