Weekend Plans
Friday, February 22, 2008 at 09:51amSo, what are your plans this weekend? New Jersey has finally gotten snow…there are a few inches on the ground and it looks like it will continue for a while. After that we’re supposed to get freezing rain, so that should be fun. Blarg. I will enjoy it while it lasts. Sunday is Oscar Night, and I’ll be having my annual small get-together. There will be vodka-based drinks, there will be contests and games, there will be cupcakes. There will not be blood.
And you?

There may be Ryan O’Neal.

Old Man Band practice tonight, which means hangover tomorrow. Em is going to Savannah on Saturday to meet her mom, so that means a juicy steak on the grill for me Sat night!!! Then Sunday they both come back to the ATL and we watch the Oscars and drink wine.

I invite Ryan every year, and every year he doesn’t show up. Jerk.
Chuck, I want a steak on the grill, please!

Ryan O’Neal is still alive?

Tomorrow night we’re co-hosting a tropical banana-themed party with a friend who lives in the burbs.

The kid got a snow day today, which means I did too, yay!
Wait…there WON’T be blood on Oscar night? Poo! ::puts freshly-sharpened sword back in the closet::

Tomorrow, nothing. Sunday Dad & Stepmom over for dinner. We will teach them how to inject insuline into cats. So that Lucifer can stay at their house when we’re on holiday. We’re going to have meatloaf and coleslaw and something with potatoe. Not sure what yet.

You say potatoe…

Where are you going on holiday?
Rain on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Going to a nerd convention this weekend (Wondercon), woo-hoo! And then watching the Oscars with family.
I’m still trying to perfect my Oscar menu–There will be milkshakes, of course, and probably hamburgers in tribute to Juno’s hamburger phone, but I am having trouble coming up with foods for the other best picture nominees…Tex Mex for “No Country for Old Men”? Anyone got any suggestions?…
Marjon on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 2:55 pm
We’re doing a testrun with Lucifer staying at their place on March 8, when we go to Rotterdam.
And on March 30 we go to one of the islands in the north (Vlieland) for flying kites and relaxing for a week.

“No Chili For Old Men?
Rain on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I like the chili suggestion! Maybe we could pile it on top of the hamburgers for extra gluttony…
Having trouble with “Atonement” as I haven’t seen it. Are there any food moments in it? As for “Michael Clayton,” there’s a moment that involves freshly baked bread, so maybe we’ll just have that.
Mmmm….bread, hamburgers, chili and milkshakes. Classy!

Rain, how about a chocolate martini: http://www.yumsugar.com/1055825

Oooo…good tip Sandy, thanks!

After last year’s dress-up as a nominee and/or oscar host and capture the evening on video tape party, we’re just taking it easy and watching things from the sofa.
(one guess as to who called host and delivered a kickass monologue!)
Hope everyone has a swell weekend.
