What are you doing, right now?

Asked by chicadelplaya (2218points) December 20th, 2008

Aside from browsing fluther, what are you doing right now? I’m stuffed with popcorn, drinking some Cab, watching ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’, and enjoying a quiet house. Happy Holidays!!

I am relaxing and playing on my laptop with my six year-old snoozing away next to me. The house is quiet, and I am under tons of covers because it is going to get way below zero tonight!

I’m at work, sitting in a cubicle, typing on a computer, and specifically formulating an answer to a question on Fluther. And it would just happen to be your question, chicadelplaya. But you probably already figured that last part out. :o)

Cruising Petfinder to find myself another dog.
Mine passed away this summer and I now think I am ready for another one.

Just had to evacuate my building to a very cold snowy night…someone just burnt toast. Set the whole building’s alarm’s off!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@chicadelplaya. We work 12 hour shifts here and my shift runs from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and we don’t get holidays off. I’ll be here on Christmas Eve and Christmas day too. I’m in the military.

lol.

Am I the only one here watching the Ravens beat the Cowboys?

chicadelplaya's avatar

@chyna- that’s funny! Told ya she’d be sweet. ;o)
@blue- Thank you for all you do for our country! Hugs!
@pete- some oranges are very exciting, yes!
@blondie- bummer. Well at least your building didn’t burn down. ;-)

blondie411's avatar

I know whew then I really would have been SOL!!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@chicadelplaya. You’re very welcome and thank you so much for your gratitude. It means the world to those of us in the military. Have a very Merry Christmas and a terrific New Year!

Just watched “No Country for Old Men” with my daughter (14), adding an HD rip of “Pineapple Express” to my iTunes library, and going up to get under the down comforter. It was in the 20s when I woke up this morning.

seekingwolf's avatar

I just got done downloading some music.

Now I’m eating a couple cookies with a wine cooler. (only half of it though, I don’t want to be tipsy!)
After this, I’m probably going to go watch Forensic Files or something and fall asleep.

I am trying to figure out whether the Present Perfect Simple tense exists in English. I am sure it doesn’t, but I have been surprised before.

chicadelplaya's avatar

@gail- So what else is goin’ on? ;-)

bythebay's avatar

Still watching the Ravens/Dallas 26–17—eating clementines.

seekingwolf's avatar

@gail

You should check out the thread. :) It does exist, it’s a sort of grammar tense.
juniper explained it nicely in there.

gailcalled's avatar

@Chica: The usual. I am packing it in now and worrying about the next 12” of snow due tomorrow on top of the 14” that fell today. I am also preparing for my plowing bill this last day of autumn.

@Seeking; I was one of the responders to that thread. That specific tense does not exist in English, as it happens.

chicadelplaya's avatar

@seeking- So what else is goin’ on with ya? ;-)

seekingwolf's avatar

@gailcalled

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that the “prefect present simple” existed, I was talking about the Perfect Present, which juniper clarified later. The poster just got confused. :) But the perfect present does exist, as I am sure you know. Sorry for that confusion there!

@chica

Well I dunno, the usual I suppose. I’m just trying to take it easy and make this holiday as stress-free as possible. :)

Fluthering.

EDIT: Burping, apparently. God damn! Chipotle makes a delicious burrito.

90s_kid's avatar

@ flyawayxxballoon

90’s is your favorite? Me too I love the 90s!

:DDDDD

I’m doing the same thing flyawayxxballoon

gailcalled's avatar

@Seeking; just thinking about these tenses is starting to give me brain freeze and not mke me feel stress-free. I do, I am doing, I did, I was doing, I have done, I have been doing, I had done, I had been doing, I will do, I might do, I might have done, I ought to do, I ought to have stopped at “I do.”

@90’s— It’s too late and too cold to shout.

90s_kid's avatar

changed it

I can never get tired. I’m restless. But I go to bed anyway.

seekingwolf's avatar

@gailcalled awww yeah that can happen. :( and you just named them all I think, congrats!...well except the future perfect: “I will have done (by the time of a future action)”. :D

perhaps it’s sleep time? I know it is for me…well Nancy Drew first I suppose.
‘Night everyone.

bythebay's avatar

Well, now I’m going to bed. Congrats to the Ravens 33/24.
@gailcalled: sleep tight & stay warm. Watch out for the dreaded black ice.

binary's avatar

Coding.

Yippee.

flyawayxxballoon's avatar

@90’s: Yeah, I love 90’s pop, more late 90’s, though… Smash Mouth, A*teens, Britney Spears, boy bands…good stuff. =)

juniper's avatar

I’m watching the fire and eating a huckleberry cordial.

juniper's avatar

chicadelplaya's avatar

chicadelplaya's avatar

Has anyone seen the movie Ski Patrol?!?! lol

augustlan's avatar

Just checking the weather for hubby…we’re going to get that awful ‘wintry mix’ starting around 4am. He plows/salts so he’s going to be out in in. : (

figbash's avatar

I’m home in the middle of the snowstorm! I’m listening to Beats in Space, drinking a bottle of wine and baking between small projects like putting photos in albums and going through old magazines. My fireplace DVD is ON.

asmonet's avatar

@aug: I’m ‘suffering’ with ya, girly. I got my hot cocoa and cookies. I’m bundled. All is well.

I’ve got the space heater on high – pointed right at my toes. My eyes are drooping, and I’m almost ready to head off to never-never land.
