I asked Buzzfeed what I should post about this morning, and they told me that this week's LJ Idol was the most controversial yet, and gave me all kinds of information about what was going to be in the report about it.

They also told me what Game of Thrones House I was in.

So clearly these guys know their stuff.

But I didn't want to just ask them, so I consulted the House of Israel, who had quite a few things to yell at me, but none of it was about what to write.

I consulted some of my friends who work for the US Government, thinking they might have some extra time on their hands. But apparently they wanted to get paid for their feedback. Or for anything at all. Their yard sales seem to be going well though.

Since none of those people were overly helpful, I'll just post last night's results https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1035358.html

and the link to the new topic https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1035740.html

and leave it at that.

Oh wait, someone's returning my call... hopefully they will have some ideas for what I can post about. Oh wait, it's R Kelly. Nevermind.

"Enjoy Every Sandwich", Gary? Eurgh.

There's a bit of context here. Specifically, it was something Warren Zevon said in response to an interview with David Letterman in which he disclosed that he was terminally ill. There's video, too, if that's your bag :)

The gist of it seems to be, "life is short, take time to enjoy things, even the little ones".

Anyone have any ideas yet?

I watched a video, and part of a tribute video. I'm not familiar with Warren Zevon, but I am with the concept. Even so, I'm drawing a blank. That is to say, lots of ideas swirling around but nothing's coagulating.

Same. I have thoughts and a cat sitting in my lap but I am making zero progress.

The icon one is my other kitty. She’s not that old (ok she’s 7ish). I brought her home when my daughter was volunteering with a cat rescue because she hated everything. She’s gotten over that. Julian is 21. He is quite a handsome dude. Let me see if I can get a picture of him to post. He’s a tuxedo cat.

Aww! She's really pretty! Poor thing. She probably just didn't like being in the shelter and who can blame her--but she's home now!

Bouncing some ideas off. Feel free to use , if something clicks:

-You could write about someone who believed in that adage but sadly died young. (An eulogy)

-Life of a terminally ill patient.

-Rumination about life in general and how we take it for granted.List of "little things" in life which we usually take in for granted.

-Someone who makes Sandwiches everyday /runs a sandwich stall.

-Story about Warren Zevon /concert/the music/ your favorite song of his.

Now that I've done my part and admitted that I don't have any input on this doozy of a topic...

I have a love-hate relationship with Buzzfeed.

I take their quizzes pretty frequently (I can tell you what combination of characters from Brooklyn 99 and Parks and Rec I am!), but a lot of their long-form stuff leaves me cold. I appreciate what they do, but some of the editing choices and the like are a bit...odd...to me.

Signs I'm old, I guess.

What's Buzzfeed? ;-)

(No, no. I'm kidding. I have heard of it. Honest.)

Honestly, I keep thinking about how grateful I am I don’t have to enjoy Rebecca’s sandwiches- she likes peanut butter and hot peppers. I...nope.
