CLOSED: Congratulations Jackie Q [#293] — check your email gurl!
Before we get into this, a quick note — This week, I (Luis) haven’t been posting as much as I would like to. I have been having to deal with a few issues and will be even more busy this weekend. Thankfully I have Adam now to pick up the slack somewhat. Everything should be back to normal on Monday afternoon Tuesday-ish! I will try to post today (Thursday) and Friday if I can, but I’m not promising anything. Anyway, thank you for sticking it out and not forgetting me! 
Onto the giveaway…
It’s been a while since PMA’s had a giveaway, here’s to changing that. PMA is giving away this pretty cool Alessi watch from their Kaj collection. Here’s a product description: Designed by Karim Rashid for Alessi, the Kaj collection of watches has the sleek, pared down look of many of his designs. In Rashid’s words, the collection is symbolic of technology, the cosmos, and the passage and cyclical nature of time. In layman’s terms, they’re just very attractive watches. We are giving away a watch in either black, pink, orange, red, green, blue or lilac.
To enter, all you have to do is:

A random comment will be selected on Monday 2.23.09 at 6PM pacific time. Make sure you follow the rules, or I will skip your entry, even if you were chosen!

I went out on saturday for someone’s birthday at some local bar in montreal called The Blue Dog Motel, got pretty drunk. and did a rinse and repeat yesterday and woke up in a girl’s bed this morning and don’t really remember how i end up over there, no matter though i had to go to work at 9h.
I’m going snowboarding in Vermont… taking a sketchy ass bus up their from Boston and hoping I can find a place to stay! I’ve got my PMA playlists so I should be set
Yes Yes Yes
This weekend, I’m going to Jamaica for spring break. The warm weather alone is enough to excite me.
I would, most definitely, subscribe to a PMA newsletter.
This weekend I had to write thousand words (yes 1000, no more, no less) about the subject “Is it usefull to bring the computer back to the physical world”, although my English is’t that good (my mothertongue is Dutch), the subject isn’t a bad translation, it just a stupid assignment
.
Also coded a phpscript in OOP with several objects, keeps me in front of my MacBook the whole weekend. Hope next weekend will be beter.
[yes]
This weekend, I just met up with a few folks for grabbing a bite, then chilled Saturday since I worked Sunday.
Oh yes, I’d certainly sign up! A bonus for your already kickass site!
This weekend I did nothing. Except for crossing fingers to win the watch!
Oh, yes. free stuff, I like.
My weekend plans entailed working at Liz Claiborne, watching the atrocity “He’s Just Not That Into You”, finishing an English essay on Orwell early, writing a couple of letters to friends, realizing I have a midterm on Monday which I didn’t study for until 11:30 on Sunday night.
And, yeah. I’d subscribe.
This weekend was great! I visited my dad in San Francisco and while i was there my sister told me she was having a baby! It was a great family-oriented weekend! Now — I really need that watch!
Oh, and yes, I’d subscribe!
This weekend was a relaxed Friday night, errands Saturday, the opposite of relaxed Saturday night replete with birthday party and randomness into the wee hours, brunch this morning, and Oscars this evening!
And duh. Yes, of course I would subscribe. Please carry on.
Let’s see, this weekend I stayed in with friends, went to a Mardi Gras – themed party, apartment searched, and hung out in downtown Boston for the day. Nothing too wild, but fun nonetheless.
And of course I would subscribe!
This past Friday, I went to a party off-campus at my college. It was pretty fun, although I wasn’t planning on being the sober one that took care of everyone. All my friends got trashed and someone had to be the responsible one and walk them back. Saturday I woke up at 2 pm due to the previous crazy night, and went to Perkins to eat with two my friends, who were ridiculously hungover. We then proceeded to go to Michael’s to get some art supplies, and PetSmart to look for fishies. I got back to my dorm, got ready, and went out with my boyfriend to one of our friend’s house for some drinking and games. We made a sheetz run, and then went back to his dorm to sleep. I had to wake up and go to work at Ruby Tuesday today, where I’m a hostess. And I’ve been home ever since.
YESSSS i would definitely subscribe.
1.) See Above
2.) On Saturday I worked a bake sale for a mission trip to mexico fundraiser in 32 degree weather outside of Walmart where I was told to stay 15ft from the door and couldn’t move the other side of the entrance where the wind would be blocked because “It could be worse” (says the manager. Could be worse my ass, you sit out in the cold weather in the wind, in the shade. Sorry I’m a little bitter.) Then I went to watch my college basketball team who is ranked #1 in the nation in the NAIA Division II play their last regular season home game (which we’ve won!!! so that made my day a little brighter.)
Then today, Sunday, I worked in the soundroom at school for most of the afternoon.
3.) Yes

2) I am currently living in Hong Kong. The prompt was for weekend plans, but since here it is already Monday morning I suppose I will talk about the execution of said plans. Saturday I spent the day at Kam Shan park where there is a large Monkey conservation. Then that night I missed the last bus back to the city and spent the night on the beach. Sunday morning I played bad minton across from where I live with a group of elderly women who easily defeated my friend and I. In afternoon I managed to see Jose Gonzalez (In HONG KONG!). In the evening we walked through the street markets and ate Hong Kong’s delicious street foods (fish balls, fried cuddle fish, coconut juice).
and yes i would subscribe .
