Green Room - Week 29 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

I realized this morning that this season has lasted longer than the Democratic Primary!! Which, normally wouldn't be an accomplishment. This year though. . . *G*

I'm looking forward to the McCain/Obama debates. They've already agreed to a town hall style (one of my favorite) and there are talks of a modified Lincoln/Douglas style!! I'd definitely watch that. It's going to be interesting to see if the two can *actually* change the tone and substance of the modern campaigning (as they have said they want to do)or if the system modern campaigning will eat both of them alive?

Going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

***

Speaking of interesting to see how it plays out - the entries keep coming in and *any* doubt people had that people were going to be able to make the deadlines while maintaining quality should be out the window by now.

Tomorrow evening- the poll!!! Make sure to keep up with the entries so you don't have to play catch-up when the time comes.

So what's going on in your neck of the woods?

So what's going on in your neck of the woods?

Nothing!

Morning!

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

first well done welcome back. No power at home, in an all electric house. Last night was ghoststories, silly songs etc around a large candle in the middle of the kitchen table.

No internet at homwe, I'm behind in my reading now, and going to be an interesting day in work.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Wow- you've had quite an interesting 24 hours, I'd say.

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

yanno it was really fun.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Morning Sweets!

Happy First!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo, she's first!!!!!!

*throws confetti*

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Late for work.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I am curious to see the debates...They should be interesting.

My neck of the woods? Back to work after working from home yesterday after running to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

Beyond that...nothing (as of yet).

Morning to all as well!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

umm...debates between them two...I can imagine Obama being good at it in general and McCain -- we've seen him do it before...

I just think we'll end up with McCain as our new president...(I have plans to vote for the other guy)

Not much else going on in my part of the U.S...

I'm gong to celebrate S.H.I.T = So Happy It's Thursday...

Thank ewok_626 for thinking of that one... :)

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

When I was in college, my Business Law teacher told us about S.H.I.T... ;)

Morning *YAWN*

Well I am back on antibiotics since the infection has apparently made a return in the jaw. We'll see what is what in a week. *sigh*

Other than that I am enjoying the weather before it becomes bloody hot this weekend.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I hope you are feeling better soon.

You mentioned the weather so I take a peek up at my weather bug... OMG it is predicted to be 99 on Saturday.

*faints*

Maybe I should go visit somewhere COOLER ?

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

That's not here. It was 80 at 5:00 this morning. ugh!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I can recommend Vancouver... it was about 55 here today, except at the top of Grosse Mountain, where it SNOWED. **brrr!**

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Bring on the real politics! I have had my icon made (feel free to take with credit) for a while, my signs in my window, and flair on my purse. I might even volunteer, once I get my DC driver's license.

"So what's going on in your neck of the woods?"

After spending a wonderful day hanging with chite, I survived the storms that ripped through the DC-metro area yesterday and last night. I will write up my adventures later, but the best [sarcasm] part was spending two hours on a Metro bus, in severe weather, stuck on I66, trying to get from one train station to the next because trees had fallen on the tracks.

Good times...

Today will be spent recovering in my apartment cleaning, doing laundry, and (what else) sewing.

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

Ooh. What line/where did the trees fall?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I was on the Orange, at Vienna. I was told the problem was between the next station and West Falls Church. The bus was running between that station (but we could get on at Vienna) and East Falls Church.

[chite.livejournal.com]

It was a totally fun day, until the trip home for both of us!

The main road between the metro and my home had five downed trees blocking the road. So, I tried to go home on main roads. Of course, all of the street lights were out all along Nutley Street, Lee Highway, and Gallows Road, and no one gets the "lights out means everything is a 4-way-stop" rule around here. So it took me 2 hours to do a 15 minute trip.

Oi.

But, we had fun and Spydie made me spend money. hahaha

Also, I have electricity. Huzzah.

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

Thank you to everyone for all the lovely birthday wishes yesterday! I had a wonderful day, and the babysitting went really well, so well I'm doing it again today. I know I'm probably crazy!

Anyway I've still got 3 entries to write, so I'll talk to you all later

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

No work today because our office is still without power, and as a videography company we *kind of* need our computers! It went out around 3:00pm yesterday with the apocalyptic storms that came through DC. I got to come home early :3!

Also, the weather *seemed* to get better in the evening, so my boyfriend drove over...we went to get dinner and got stuck in part 2! Some absolutely FANTASTIC lightning to watch as we ate Chipotle outside (under an overhang), but I wasn't too happy driving around in it. It got SO DARK, but for a while there was some GORGEOUS patches of sunlight streaking through. I need to bring my camera with me more often -- all we got were some shitty picture on my boyfriend's camera phone :(

[chite.livejournal.com]

We were so glad we cancelled our plans to go to the Nats game. hahaha.

We remarkably have power in my house. Amazing since we are always the ones to lose power first.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Ankle still swollen and achy. The rain's not helping.

I've only been up for a half hour, which is unheard of for me.

*stifles a yawn*

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

What's going on is I'm exhausted. I woke up at three thirty this morning for no reason.

We're having our audit at work.

Also the word on the street is that Obama is the antichrist. Yes, I am a sheep, I just repeat what I hear, but I say go Obama anyway!

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

I think I'm coming down with something. I'm tired, achy and my throat hurts. Blah. We're also supposed to hit over 90 degrees here for the first time this weekend. Double blah.

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

Please stop having the best icons ever :)

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

Also, feel better! ^^

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Do you have the Suds?!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Groan! Audit still going on. Got through my interview. Is it Friday yet?

[chite.livejournal.com]

Well, the baby woke up at 2:30 with a fever of 104. Then he was up at 4:30 again with a fever of 103.

We are all very tired.

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

awww we just went through that, hope baby gets over it soon so you can get some rest!

[chite.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Sorry you went through it too

Poor babes just don't understand :(

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I'm still sick with some sort of black plague or something. Only now I've got an ear infection too and can't hear out of my right ear. I am tired and I want to kick Gary.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Most people do.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*nods*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*wants to kick Gary too!*

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Ugh, yeah, as mentioned above I'm feeling rawtha shitteh myself, only my problem is in my throat.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mine is a combo of coughing, sore throat, a bit of fever, super snot all the time, and a lack of appetite. Fuck if I know.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're feeling so yucky. It's probably all Gary's fault for stressing the Final Four out so much these past weeks!!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Most things are in fact my fault!*g*

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I won't be back in my neck of the woods until late tomorrow. We're in Vancouver today, and it rained ALL DAY, except for at the top of Grosse Mountain, where it SNOWED! Yep... snow in June... who'da thunk it??

**brrr!**

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

MinPin somehow got fleas. I should kick John for not cutting the grass enough, but then he'd just make me do it. :^p So MinPin got a bath and flea meds and we may have to flea-bomb the house. Oh joy of joys... *weep*

In other news... It's like 95 here today. Unfreakinbearably hot and humid. And who has me cook dinner in the oven?! *kicks boyfriend* We don't want to put the air conditioners in yet because we'll just have to take them back out in 9 days (9 DAYS TILL THE BEACH!). We want our windows LOCKED while we spend a week lying on the beach. ;)

I have been playing Super Mario Galaxy religiously the last few days. I'm up to 104 stars (out of 121), and the last few levels are a freakin bitch. I don't know how jennielynn got through them...

To the Final Four!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

I am going to be away when voting starts, so wanted to wish you all huge amounts of luck!

I'll toast to you all with a drink or two tonight! *g*

Hopefully voting will stay open long enough for me to show my support, and just how much I have enjoyed all your entries.

So Gary, I hope you don't have plans to make us vote on all 64 entries by 9am Saturday. *g*

Have a great Friday everyone, and start to your weekend!

Re: To the Final Four!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

8 am actually.*g*

Seriously though - have you heard the rumor that says *this* is the LAST ROUND??? I was absolutely floored by that. People don't know me well enough *by now*???*g*

Re: To the Final Four!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I didn't start it!

Re: To the Final Four!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that after this postapalooza, couldn't they just ALL win?

I mean, we can make 4 icons, right?

Re: To the Final Four!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Why can't we have 155 winners? Or 100? 50? 20? Why can't the top 10 all be the winner? Top 7? Top 5?

Because in the end, there is only ONE LJ IDOL.

But read those entries and then come back and tell me that those people didn't win something, and it's not an icon.

Re: To the Final Four!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

if you even have something worse planned for those remaining after the votei do believe i really will have to kick you!

Re: To the Final Four!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Me? Have something *even worse* planned? Now why would I do *that*?*G*

Seriously - what I have planned next is my favorite round EVER.

Re: To the Final Four!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Looks like I will be spending a lot of time on the computer tomorrow, then. *g*

It's time well spent though, as all the entries are great, and the few I have left to read I know will be excellent!

I've heard lots of rumors about what's left of this season... *g*

Re: To the Final Four!

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Drink for me too!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's Friday folks. Jumps for joy.

Aren't the final four awesome? They blew the deadline away. Right on!
