Plans?
 
So what is everyone doing for the long Labor Day Weekend?

I? Am working on Monday - so no long weekend for me. It really puts a damper on any out of town plans - so I'm staying close to home and having a Sex and the City Marathon.

That show=my new obsession.

So how about y'all?

None really.

I am hanging out this evening with a friend of mine who is coming in town for the weekend. We may go to a friend's lake house, but that remains to be seen.

My weekend plan:

-housework. The place is a dump. I need to do a helluva lot of cleaning this weekend.

-watching my new DVDs. I just got House Season 2, the complete series of The Oblongs, and a show called Jack of All Trades starring Bruce Campbell

-preparing for next weekend. I'm flying out to Nashville on Friday to catch another Walter Egan show. I won't have time to pack during the week, so I'll have to do it this weekend. I also need to go buy a couple of new outfits to wear.

:laugh: Jack of all trades!! Is that the show with Autolocus? Is that his name? Isn't that a spin-off of his character on Xena? I love me some Bruce Campbell!!!

And you reminded me - I'm also doing a lot of cleaning this weekend..my place is a mess.

I have 5 (!) days off... woohoo! I have a friend coming in from out of town, we're going to Bumbershoot, which is the big, annual arts and music festival here in Seattle. Blondie will be there plus lots of other groups.

My friend has never been here so we'll also do some tourist type stuff. The weather is going to be perfect... sunny and 80 degrees all weekend. Woohoo!

I haven't the slightest idea. It was a very much belated birthday gift (my B-day was in May) from a friend of mine and I hadn't seen or heard of it before.

I love me some Bruce Campbell, too. Have you ever seen Bubba Ho-Tep?

Ah - well I seem to recall watching a few eps of that show simply because of my love of all things Xena-related a few years back :p

I've not seen a lot of his stuff though :( so no - I've never even heard of Bubba Ho-Tep.

DrummerDeanna 09-01-2006 03:16 PM

AND I'm completely mistaken - Jack of All Trades is NOT a Xena spin-off - it's a different character completely....

So now I'm left to wonder what the hell it was I saw him in as the character from Xena.....

As soon as the sun rises tomorrow I am getting the F out of town. :]

I have plans to drive the coast...find some remote cliff, forge a trail...let the ocean take me away...and perhaps bury myself in sand...I also see myself whimpering "what's the world coming to?"

I need this more than ever.

Ordinarily, we have a big party at my house every year, but this year hubby's work schedule is screwing that up. We're having it next weekend instead.

The remnants of Ernesto are supposed to dump all kinds of rain on us tomorrow, so I'm glad I picked up some OT. Taking vital signs for $25 an hour isn't too shabby. :D Nothing Sun or Mon right now, and the weather's not going to be all that great. I'm telling myself it's a good opportunity to clean & organize my house, but we'll see if anything actually gets done. I may just watch TV & drink a lot. :wavey:

My band is playing the next two nights, then Sunday, I'm going to my aunt's house on the lake. Then Monday, I'm doing sound for a religious festival...:eek: :rolleyes:

I haven't seen a lot of his stuff either. But I LOVE Bubba Ho-Tep. It's a must watch.

Bruce Campbell stars as an aging Elvis impersonator who believes that he really is Elvis. (According to him, he grew tired of fame and switched places with an impersonator many years ago and that it was really the impersonator that died and not the real Elvis) who ends up in a retirement home. He befriends a wheelchair-bound black man (played by the late Ossie Davis) who believes that he is John F. Kennedy (he claims "They dyed me this color!") and together they discover that there is an ancient Egyptian mummy in cowboy duds that has been killing off the elderly residents by sucking their souls literally out of their asses. Together they go to battle against "Bubba Ho-Tep" and fight to save their home and their souls. :lol:

So many people have told me how wonderful the show is - I had to see it for myself. I'm mid-season 3 right now. I'm bummed though, I only borrowed up to season 4 :eek:

I just saw the episode where Charlotte meets Trey..SOO cute. And I've got a crush on Steve lol...Big, though a charming character, doesn't really do it for me :shrug: Aidan on the other hand...*drools*
