    I see most of you spent it posting here.
    Tell me; what are your typical weekends like?

    I went bar hopping for a few of my students (I teach part time at a
    local college) and then a birthday party on Saturday night.

    I kept working on my home cinema. We moved this spring to a new house with a basement, and in the basement there was this rather large pool room (as in billiard, not the watery kind), which I've put two rows of seating (3+3) in and a
    frame-mounted projection screen (about 170"). So this weekend I painted the walls
    and ceiling, built the frames for the front speakers and a mounting board for the
    projector. Moving along nicely :)

    Sounds nice!
    You're not actually going to pay for the movies you watch, are you?
    I haven't paid for a movie (at home) for 15 years.

    I do both. I've paid for enough of movies not to feel bad when pirating them. But
    I can afford to buy them, so when buying is the logical option, I do.

    Bar hopping for or with your students? Either way, a bad idea.

    That is like saying you have said enough true statements you do not feel bad when you lie.

    Oh.

    That explains your actions!

    But I can afford to buy them, so when buying is the logical option, I do.

    I was helping a friend with his home cinema. He's spent the last
    couple years constructing a dedicated room in his previously
    unfinished basement (more work than it sounds like, there were many
    issues to deal with).

    So, he finally gets the room done, and he pulls his equipment out of
    storage, where it's been for even more years. Right off, the output
    stage in his main stereo amp goes-out. Worse yet, his very nice
    3-Chip D-ILA projector (that he bought used and saved $thousands on)
    was dead (and I don't mean the bulb).

    What a bummer! He was hoping to have the first big show-off of it
    this coming weekend, but no-go...

    Since he's never left his mom's, he's become quite an expert at
    re-decorating such places.

    Not sure there's such a thing as a "typical" weekend. This week for example
    I took 3 vacation days to get 9 days off from work. I'm a huge fan of maximizing vacation days by hooking them up to long weekends. Gave us a
    chance to do some traveling and visiting for Thanksgiving.
