Low-key weekend

[jay]

One disadvantage of not going East to visit relatives over this holiday period is that there's not much to do at home. Friends are out of town, and there's no ready-made set of activities with various siblings and cousins...

Today: work a normal schedule, maybe go buy a computer with hopeforyou, cooking sweet potatoes in the evening.

Thanksgiving: nothing much until mid-afternoon, then over to runeshower and jasonhollister's place for a joint meal, then hang out until time to drop off James for his youth-group trip to Disneyland.

Friday: nothing. nada. Laundry, I guess. Maybe go to see LOTR if anyone else is interested (?).

Saturday: pick up James early, nothing else until the pool party that night.

Sunday: church in the morning, then nothing planned.

heh... lifestyles of the not-rich and socially-challenged...

My plans for the next couple days are to spend Thanksgiving dinner with friends, then clean the apartment. I'm very much interested in seeing LOTR -- so is sinboy -- but he has to work Black Friday.

LOTR: Are you referring to The Fellowship, or The Two Towers? I'm not aware of The Fellowship playing anywhere, though maybe some enterprising soul has scheduled it near you in a repertory theater? The Two Towers doesn't open till Dec. 18 (which reminds me, gotta get Fandango tix...). If you haven't seen the Extended Version yet, let me suggest that highly. In fact, there are some important scenes in there that PJ didn't want to cut, but had to, for length. He negotiated with the studio to release the Extended Version in time for folks to watch it before TT appeared in the theaters. The Extended Version is truly awesome. They've put in bits and pieces ALL OVER the place--sometimes just a minute or two, but completely seamlessly. They make a huge difference, and the movie is even better than I thought it was before. And it was damn good. Now I REALLY can't wait to see the Extended version of the other two!

"But you hate people." "Yes, but I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?"

Aside from not being on the Right Coast. ;)

Ah, see...in my mind, that's a plus. I hate having a ton of stuff I feel obligated to do.

For me, your planned weekend sounds just about right. Not too crammed with things I'm scheduled to do, plenty of time left open for me to either veg around the house or find something spontaneous to do, if I feel like it. If I had something officially planned for every day of the long weekend, I'd need a couple days off next week to recover from that. Last time I had something scheduled for every day of the weekend I just felt exhausted all day Monday, like I hadn't had time to recharge *at all*.
