Green Room - Week 9 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It was the day of deadlines and decisions.

The deadline of course being the one for the Topic http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/412319.html

and the decision being the outcome of the Second Chance Idol - who is coming into the game and who is joining the ranks of the Home Game? http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/412468.html - Only you will be able to decide that. Well, you and other voters. But mostly you.

***

Other than that, it's a jammed packed weekend over at Casa de Me.

How about you? Any big plans? Any small plans? Any plans that might not look big from a distance but when you get closer you realize that it's actually a full grown plan that just happens to be very short?

first?

ETA: Go me.

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

Go you indeed.

My original entry for this prompt got far faaaaar too long, so now I'm trying to come up with something else quickly. MY LIFE IS SO HARD, GUYS ;____;

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

UMMMMM so I just posted my entry and it's almost 1,800 words. Ridiculous. I hope people make it to the end. :-/

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

My plans are all work based. I have a five week plan! I am trying not to put it into smaller chunks than that. Otherwise I will FREAK and that will be bad.

Also to read entries as they come in. I managed to get all the second chances read. If everyone posts last minute for the main event, I will just have to miss some :-(

but! the good news is that have been some awesome pieces in what has been put out there!

I sobbed unreservedly in the episode of Futurama depicted in your icon. Even looking at it now makes me kind of sad.


...I have to go and hug my dog!

Yay a late GR that I'm actually awake for!

Just got done hanging out with java_fiend and the gang. Good times were had, as usual. Our plans for the rest of the weekend include writing entries, refreshing polls and probably chatting in the GR while we are in the same room.

Idol obsessed? Maybe a bit :)

Hopefully we go outside and enjoy this beautiful 70 degree weather at some point...but we shall see if we don't stay glued to the computer!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

You guys suck. I want some of the 70 degree weather. LOL!

I had the best day ever! Put bees in a topbar hive and then bottled mead all day!

Okay so I've probably had better days but it was a pretty fine day.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I got yeast to make mead from liret!!!

[queen-pepita.livejournal.com]

I wrote things on everyone's stories in the Second Chance game!

They were the best stories and I liked them. I wanted to hug everybody!

Now here is a baby and a bear who are hugging!



Also I voted for all my most loyalest subjects. All the stories were so good I had to pick a better way to vote so I voted for everybody who has sworn fealty to me!

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

I wrote on everyone's posts as well :-)

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

Yay, it's always fun when my membership in the late commenter league ends up swinging all the way around to early.

I've got my entry posted, and now I need to finish packing for Vegas. J and I decided that we had earned a mini-vacation that was just for us instead of always seeing family (not that I don't like my family but, oh you get it). Now I'll just need to find a sports bar for the Packer game tomorrow, which I'm guessing won't be difficult.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

We're going to Vegas Feb 1-8! I've been there several times before, but it's always a good time - enjoy yourselves!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

We made it safely to Pigeon Forge (TN) around midnight - I thought it was about 2.5 hours, but it is more like 3, plus of course we stopped for supper.

Now we're relaxing in the room with some microwave popcorn, playing around on Facebook. I'm hoping we can get tickets to go see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat tomorrow evening, which is one of my favorite plays EVER.

Still haven't written an entry yet... oy!

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

I hope Joseph is amazing, and that you get tickets!

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Went on date night with hubby tonight! It was just dinner and a movie (Green Hornet, which was lots of fun) but so overdue! Tomorrow I have to make up for all the "work from home" I didn't do today...

Why am I still up at 3am?

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

3am huh? that is late. or early.

it is hard to sleep when the brain won't switch off!

glad you had a nice date night :-)

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

Ah, here we go again. Insomniac, I iz.

This weekend we're traveling to see family on the other side of the state. Should be fun. My mother-in-law wants some advice on working with her local newspaper and we have some relevant experience. And in general she's awesome. Alex has a birthday party in the early afternoon and then we depart. Oh, and I got some awesome flowers for great-grandma. :)

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

insomnia sucks :-(

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

Today. It is laundry day.

Ole!

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

I wish I could do laundry! it has been raining for weeks and weeks. All I want is a sunny day. when I am home as well. Tuesday was sunny, but I was at uni

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Good morning! Right now I'm waiting for the coffee to finish doing its thing because, you know, I absolutely need my first caffeine infusion of the day ;)

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Good morning! You're getting up and I haven't been to bed yet. This is not a good sign for the day.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Evening everyone (or whatever time it is where you are). I've been baking most of the day, and now I don't feel like making dinner :/

Muffins cover most of the food groups, right?

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's anyone else here in the same timezone as us ;) Oh, wait...make that anyone who might visit the green room!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I finally got around to taking my eldest son to see Tangled this afternoon. Yay for getting out of the house and doing something fun! My husband is out and about on his own this evening, which is unusual for a weekend, but I'm hoping that gives me some time to read some Idol entries before the polls open. So far I think I've read... one :/

Oh yeah! And my eldest, who just turned 4, is learning how to sing with The Beatles Rock Band. He's actually pretty good for a kid his age, I reckon! He's so keen on the music, he asked for the guitar to play with it, and since we're no longer able to get him LittleBigPlanet 2 as a belated gift (they delayed the release date), we got him the guitar instead.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

My nephew loved Rock Band, especially The Beatles version! He was about 5 when we started playing and he picked up the drums pretty good for a 5 year old! We put it on no fail mode and figured he would bang around without doing it for real, but without explaining, he instantly knew to try to hit the right drums at the right time!

And I have video of him singing Yellow Submarine! It's too freaking cute for words! Kids and Rock Band rock :)

[quoting-mungo.livejournal.com]

I've got to do some drawing. Was up way too late last night and have a headache now.

Later I'm going to see Spamalot. Timing could only be slightly worse (if it had been yesterday rather than today); I've gotten so little done this week outside of the finals-related stuff.

I am going to write a Home Game entry. Just may be after the official deadline because I have to do it after I get back and I don't know when "when I get back" actually is.

Stupid weekend. Why can't it be longer?

[phoenixejc.livejournal.com]

Today, which is Saturday, I have to work. Which is a total bummer.

But TONIGHT, Luc and Bean and I are going to play trivia....we need a cool team name. I'm coming up blank, but it needs to be funny and witty and intelligent.

Any suggestions?

[dizzy-writing.livejournal.com]

Morning!

My weekend plans Friday to Sunday was "Hockey game, LJ, Hockey game", which I think falls into the category of looks small from a distance but really covers a lot :)

Getting into the "LJ" portion of that plan, which includes starting my entry for this week (I have almost 4 whole hours still, luxuriously long time!), making a few posts, and starting to read entries. Contemplating either BSG or LOTR for background noise viewing for the day.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I bought the first part of season 4 of BSG for my husband for Christmas, which was the last part we needed to finally finish watching the series. Watched the first two episodes of it last night :D

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Don't do that to me. You said it WAS the day, and I just spent 13 hours in a car, so my days are a little wonky. So I started freaking out because I haven't read and voted in SCI yet. But I still have hours! *grumble*

For those keeping track (and care), I drove home yesterday! Left at 5:30am and got in at 6:30pm. A MUCH better drive than on the way down, let-me-tell-YOU! From now on, that's the only way I'm going to travel down there. None of this, finish my final and start driving at noon business. That. SUCKED.

So anyway. How's you? I's good. ^^

[dizzydog.livejournal.com]

Glad you got home ok! Long drives like that are tough no matter how you do it, but daylight helps a lot :) I used to drive from DC to Tampa all the time. We'd leave around midnight after having slept a bit, so when I got to the point I'd start getting tired, the sun was coming up and it'd wake me back up. Still sucked though :D

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of taking myself for lunch and to see Country Strong today as an early birthday present.

Other than that, I have a speech to write, and entries to read and comment to.

[snarkerdoodle.livejournal.com]

Just going to comment for other late entry stragglers like me -- I just realized the deadline for this week's post is 2:00 PM Eastern, not 4:00 or 5:00 as I assumed from previous weeks.

One more hour!

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Haha... yeah, I barely made it, and wasn't even planning on barely making it. :)

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew posted my entry. I almost missed the deadline by accident. That would have sucked!

Our weekend is going to be relatively chill... some running, some yoga, some maybe-taking-the-tree-down-at-last, some laying around with my baby and just enjoying the TIME.

Oh, and if you want to know what my town is like, go watch Portlandia on IFC or Hulu. :)

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

My computer keeps randomly signing me out of gmail! I think I shall give up on teh interwebz for a while and go read.

Also, today at work we were warned about a coach arriving at 5pm. And I finished at 5:30 so I was saying I hoped they'd be late. LOL, no sign of them when I left! SCORE.

[wookiewife.livejournal.com]

I get to put on my Party Planner hat (it's very festive) and obtain some super hip and cool decorations for my niece's Sweet 16 party today. FFFFFFFFFF I feel so old right now.

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

A bunch of my friends from high school have grandkids by now... and my youngest child is 11. Dodged THAT bullet for a while. :)

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Bonus goofy-ass post (http://drjeff.livejournal.com/2122382.html) comparing my 70s self (in Hawaiian shirt, no less) to my current wrinkly self, just in case you're bored.

You didn't see me

[beldar.livejournal.com]

My plans are to take the weekend off from internet-based stress, totally ignore LJ Idol and relax. I'm sure no one will mind that I'm not hanging out in the Green Room. No posting for me today. No sir.

=D
