What's the haps, fam?

Me? Work's been a total fuck so I haven't had time to indulge in any hobbies (like smoking crack and/or shitposting). Today I told my wife, I'm finally going to get around to brewing beer. So I'm doing that.

Might BBQ later, hit the gym., and dream about revolution and freeing the masses. Maybe a Home Depot run. We'll see.

The wildflowers are going to seed so I'm going to spend the weekend collecting different species for winter propagation. Next year I want to make as many of our municipal plantings as possible native species that we grow ourselves, which could save the city like $90k/year on top of a huge amount of green waste.

It'll be a good effort if I can pull it off. Ornamental horticulture turns me into John Brown.

I'm doing an organizing for palestine thing. Its some kind of meeting? Discussion? Talk? about progress made and the way forward for the movement. I'm terribly nervous about it, as is the nature of doing new things and meeting new people.

Also, the super cool older woman who pointed me towards this event told the organizers to "keep an eye out for [me]!". Although getting attention from a super cool older woman (#notaGILFhunter) gives me the warm fuzzies that little detail has not made the ainxiety any better.

I am embarassed to admit how nervous I've been over all this but I promised myself I'd become less of a weenie and actually start to organize IRL so yeah.

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

This was a good use of my evening but the experience of walking into a new place and like six people going "OH! [name] said you were coming! weve been looking forward to meeting you!" was really, really jarring. I also asked the speaker the dumbest question of the night and that was mortifying.

Food distribution > errand > band practice, then a nap and chill, probably do some cleaning and watch horror movies

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Giving myself a personal challenge, by Monday morning I want to do the following:

  • Learn at least a little bit of career opportunities that interest me, and some of the skills they entail

  • Play at least 20 minutes of an instrument of my choice

  • Get the ball rolling on getting Adderall

See friends I haven’t seen in forever, discuss revolution and freeing the masses while smoking big weed. Been off booze for a month and I feel exceedingly normal

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

congrats on the freedom from the booze!

Doing volunteer work for a paper I'm writing, can't say more for opsec reasons.

Too busy to have a real weekend at the moment.

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Working. It's Saturday and that's the most important day for us retail grunts. I say as I hide in the back and move pallets around in the racking.

Perhaps getting sick later. My partner caught something from work so we'll see if I can manage to avoid it despite sharing a basement together lol.

Probably play some video games, maybe drink some alcohol, much like most weekends.

Already went to the gym, Saturday morning is really the best time for it.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Schlepping kids around all day. Might pick some tomatoes too.

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

There was a film I'd wanted to rewatch, 'cos I'd seen it ages ago and liked it but the plot was a blur to me now and I'd forgotten the name.

Earlier this week, I accidentally stumbled into a review of it, so now I've torrented it and I gave it a watch.

If I get the peace and quiet to watch another film this weekend I'm gonna finally get 'round to watching Videodrome.

Oh and now that it's lovely and cool and wet outside, I'll be able to take the dog on a nice long hike. He couldn't cope with the heat this summer and is too afraid of the dark to go on proper night-time walks, so he hasn't gotten anywhere near the exercise he usually has and I intend to make up for that.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Videodrome is excellent, the only bad thing about it is James Woods (only in retrospect, because he turned out to be a chud).

You'll recognize a bunch of samples from industrial songs too.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Videodrome is crazy good. Weirdly prophetic too.

[–] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Cronenberg classic. I'm an old - I remember when this movie was new.

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

I'm going for a run in a few minutes and then I'm going to work on the bookshelves I'm making for my partner.

If I'm not completely exhausted, I'm going to make some music this weekend. I'm trying to get better at making drum tracks that have more complex grooves.

[–] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Came home from a short trip so it's rest, laundry, weekly grocery shop and baking bread for next week today. Tomorrow we will go mushroom picking and hiking like we typically do on weekends.

Other than that, some DS9 in the evenings (like every night) and just generally getting mentally ready for going back to work and studies next week. Slightly pre-stressed as I haven't done a longer break in years and I fear I will get left behind in my studies. But this year I just needed the break, was feeling very burnt out.

Apparently, I am going to be sick

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

It's cross season, so working on my bike and then riding around in circles in the mud.

[–] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Helping my neighbor with a plumbing project. Already went there and back.

Which works out since brewing beer is 90% sitting around not doing shit.

[–] moonlake@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Gonna do the usual single white male activities such as gaming, reading, listening to podcasts, loitering outside, and so on felix-linus

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

It's dnd night, so I'm gonna play Pathfinder with my friends. Also a lot of chores cause I work tomorrow and spent the rest of my weekend playing Hollow Knight and now I'm way behind.

Previously: had a load of blood tests earlier for complications of getting old.

Ongoing: adjusting to new medications making me feel weird and dozy.

Currently: catching up with the Stuttgart v St Pauli game from the other night.

Later: If I feel up to it I'll make some big veggie spring rolls and maybe play Hades which I just reinstalled after bouncing off it when it was new.

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Theres stuff.happening but im not attending because broke

[–] pierre_delecto@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good luck with the beer! What kind are you brewing?

[–] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Thanks, homie! I'm making a cream ale. When I haven't brewed in a while, it's the easiest recipe for me to get back in the saddle. It's rather forgiving.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I got a 10 day vacation very soon. So im a bit hype for that. I started watching Alien Earth with my bro which is better than expected so far, quite fun.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Might go dancing with a cute friend tonight, depending on their availability.

Tomorrow, I'm going to get some of my music gear from my ex's place. They may or may not be there but I'll probably be real fucked up either way. After that, there's an event for International Day of Peace that I'm going to, followed by salsa dancing.

Other than that, probably be very depressed thinking about my ex and try to distract myself with slop.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Working seasonal work, I probably won’t have a day off the whole month of September. Pay will be worth it. Fuckin winter is coming.

I jogged 2 miles on the treadmill for the first time. A new milestone reached.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Idunno I'm feeling sleepy today, probably a whole lot of not fuckin much for once

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

I spent the last 10 hours coding(spare a few short breaks), I've written some 300 lines today, debugged two programs, and fully commented them.

Idk if thats a lot, but my brain is fried 😅

Gonna sit down to some Love Death and Robots in a bit and maybe crack a brewski.

Tomorrow I have no plans whatsoever, probably gonna end up locking into a 4x with some friends

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Going to the beach overnight. Surf is flat today so I'm going fishing instead. Threw a cot, a pillow, sunshade, stuff for sandwiches and a couple gallons of water in the bed of my truck. Hoping to catch my dinner but brought sammiches for backup.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Going to work in about 5 minutes.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Stressing about work & school mostly. If I have time (or procrastinate) I'll keep watching the Sopranos sopranos-poker which I haven't seen before
