Green Room - Week 7 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm]

 The new topic is up: https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1015643.html

No one has done this yet, but just as a heads up, I will be using tear gas against the next person who posts anything other than a link or a bye in there. Tear gas is now the standard, appropriate-force, for any situation and any problem.  So you should make sure to have plenty of tear gas on hand the next time someone steals your parking spot. 

***

Other than that, I have two pieces of good news: (1) I'm sick. I had a doctor's appointment this morning (even though the office said I didn't have a follow up appointment - they called me on Friday to tell me that I *did*) and after looking at my vitals, my doctor "suggested' that I go home and rest instead of going to work.  So I can stay home - which is good for me and I'm sick - which I figured would make everyone else happy! 

I did get a flu shot today though, so hopefully this won't be happening again... or at least not as frequently as previous years. 

(2) I said that there might be a surprise for those who took part in the optional Thanksgiving topic.  And there is - I'm tear gassing all of you!!! Surprise!! Oh wait, no, that comes later... for now, everyone who took part: (there were 16 of you)  https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1014892.html gets an EXTRA BYE, that you can either use yourself OR give to someone else! These "Thanks" byes are good until THE TOP 25! 

(For those about to ask: regular byes are good until the top 30. Patrons byes are good until the Top 20, but can only be given away.)

Sending you virtual soup and cookies--feel better soon. You're good at kicking things, so kicking the sick will be nothing for you. ;-)

And...Thank you! Love me those byes, especially extra ones. :-D

Blargh, no being sick Gary! But do rest... ressssssssst. If you're paying attention you don't see this message.

In other news I saw VICE (out December 25th) last night as part of advance for your consideration screening to SAG members. Here's a very small review:

Excellent film. Comedic, unexpected, serious, frightening, real. An amazing follow up to The Big Short for Adam McCay. Amazing make up work, subtle but perfect score, brilliant performances.

[bsgsix]

Ugh. I hope you feel better soon!

And thanks for the extra bye (or the tear gas, once you feel better and rescind your gift, ha). That means I have two now. Hmm (she says, debating if she should write something serious or something more lighthearted this week)....

[rayaso]

Sorry you're sick. Now, get back to work -- Idol work! I clicked on the link for the Thanksgiving entries and got "404: the page is a lie." Is it just me or is there a problem with the link? Thanks. And really, I am sorry you're sick.

[bsgsix]

I just checked and received the exact same message, so... the page is a lie. :)

[bsgsix]

Actually, it said, "These are not the 404's you're looking for," which makes it even better. So yeah, page doesn't work, but at least DW is creative about this kind of stuff.

[murielle]

Just posted the correct link. Fear not our entries haven't been erased in spite of what DW tried to tell me. :-)

[clauderainsrm]

There was a stray mark in there at the end, I have removed it.

[murielle]

Thank you! :-)

[bsgsix]

I saw and figured all was well regardless. :)

Rest up, G, or I'll be the one kicking YOU!! ;)

[murielle]

I posted the right link. The page is still there. ;-)

[murielle]

Here's the right link:

Our fearless leader is sick, and booboo-ed all over his link. Feel better soon, Gary. :-)

Some happier news, the Stampeders "trampled" the Ottawa RedBlacks 27-16. Yeehah!

[swirlsofpurple]

Hope you get well soon

[wolfden]

I hope you feel better soon.

[the_eternal_overthinker]

Get well soon Gary. Make the most of you off day.

[adoptedwriter]

Feel better!

I am going to be a heel, and spreadshitter, and ask: there were 17 comments to the Thanksgiving entry plus yours, one comment was posted late, and one did not have a link to the entry.

There are still 17 extra byes, right? ;-P (Just checking.)


Get well soon, Gary. And next year, perhaps, get a shot early in the season. (I missed them when they are offered, because I left it until the last week...when I got the flu, so no shot for me this year.)

[clauderainsrm]

I got the shot yesterday. It was the first time I've ever had one.

You're correct - 16.

[halfshellvenus]

Well, good news for those of us who wrote!

Bad news for you, though having to go into the office would be worse news...

[bewize]

THANK YOU!
