Green Room - Week 31 - Day 7

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The season is going out with a bang! 4 competitors competing for 3 spots in our Finals! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/480443.html

Only, one of them is already guaranteed a spot, so make that 3 are competing for 2 spots! Whatever the case, it's one of those times when you just feel damn good about being here. Because you know you are going to get the best reading on LJ, and some of the most excitement you are going to get online on a non-porn site! :D

Or looking at pictures of Kitlers. Or maybe Kitler porn. (Which now that I mentioned it, exists out there somewhere!)

It's more explosive than a Coheed and Cambria show at your local Walgreens!

What are your favorite entries this week? Tell a friend, an enemy or the dog hanging outside of Merlotte's Bar and Grill!

GARY HOW MANY REFERENCES TO THINGS ARE IN THIS POST?

MY BRAIN IT EXPLODES.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

So does mine, but it's because I don't get ANY of the references. I feel completely Out Of The Loop.

I can't believe that the whole thing is coming to a close soon. Amazing. I haven't read the entries yet but I better get on it.

This week is busy at work as we are helping to run a camp for blind kids. It means additional work on top of my other work.

I am trying a new thing this week wherein I don't look at the poll at all. It is wreaking havoc with my curiosity, but actually really working wonders for my sanity!

(Of course, I have only been awake and online for about 3 hours so this is not yet a terribly mean feat and omg I might cave so soon.)

I haven't begun reading yet so I only know my own personal favourite entry XD Going to get on with the reading tomorrow when there is no work! :D

You have nerves OF STEEL! (Or maybe spiderweb, since apparently gram for gram, it's way stronger...)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Toward the end of the competition for me, I did that too. I was soooo curious, but in the end it helped my sanity a great deal. Until someone would mention something about my standing in the poll and curiosity got the best of me...but it really was a good thing for me to do.

I've been trying to emulate Doris Day in regards to poll watching:

I was not around yesterday because I got a last minute invite to an African restaurant for dinner, and then we got lost trying to find it, and didn't get home until like 10:30pm or something ridiculous. I was falling asleep at the restaurant, possibly partially because I had an alcoholic drink with "Dom" in the name (it was a cocktail, not Dom Perignon) because my husband likes to get me things and pretend they're named after me. It was delicious, because it had ice cream in it and it was a bit like a milkshake.

Yesterday I went out shopping again and ended up with a wig for my pirate costume (http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/264681_10150715169655204_680165203_19829241_1642165_n.jpg) (that would be me wearing the wig and costume), and then this morning I recorded a video blog as Jaclyn, my time-travelling pirate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_oBuWWB9a8), because I wanted to practice getting into character for when I eventually film something as her. I've been having a lot of fun with it!

So far, I've only read joeymichaels' entries, which are all fantastic, especially his non-fiction pieces, but especially, especially his "Look me in the eye" one. I look forward to getting through the other three contestants' entries ASAP.

I should add that I'm not really going to be around tonight, either, because we're going to watch Batman Begins on Blu-ray.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

The wig is great! It really transforms you!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Love the wig! You're so photogenic!

[amenquohi.livejournal.com]

Fierce! I love it!!

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

There's some great entries from everyone this week. You'll be impressed!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Gary went all out on the pop culture references! I get maybe a couple of them...but I'm still half asleep (as usual for my first GR post of the day. I haven't gotten out of bed yet...again that's pretty usual for me).

Yesterday felt like Friday already. That's the kind of week I'm having so far. A busy one. It cuts down on my fun GR time :(

I really wish it were Thursday of next week already. I'd be heading to Vegas and getting to experience the most extreme dry heat of my life I'm sure. But I'll sleep late while enjoying the AC, and then take it easy from there since it's my mini-vacation! And I'll have fun with java_fiend too of course! He's the reason I'm going after all :)

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

I've only been to Vegas once, but whenever I go to a gambling friendly location, I've tried to do this "set aside x number of dollars and plan on losing it" fund. Its made gambling more like playing arcade games and less like trying to win something. Because if I go in thinking I'm going to win something, I bet way, way more than I should. :O

Haven't read any of the entries yet. Had to get up an hour early this morning for an 8:00 am dental appointment. Got six cavities filled on the lower right side of my mouth.

Three hours later and the right half of my lip and chin are STILL about half numb, although thankfully I haven't dribbled my latte as yet, LOL.

That Sam Merlotte is a sexy dude, and makes an adorable dog, too!

I feel that this is obligatory at this time:

"Avenue Q" is a riot and adding WoW is always the right choice.

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

OMFG that may well be my new favourite thing ever!

So much love for Avenue Q :)

I finally started reading this morning - I'll make a recommendation after I read them all. How the hell do you pick an entry over another at this stage? Everything is fantastic.

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

When I make my "if you read only one..." list, I try to pick the entry that has the most different tone from all 16 entries from the week. For example, all four of your entries were excellent, but the tone of "Look Me In The Eyes" was strikingly different and really quite moving and none of the rest of us wrote anything even remotely like it!

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

I posted my Week #31 Love List (http://joeymichaels.livejournal.com/609455.html) here. Really strong stuff from everyone!

Make sure to read nishi_kaze too! Even though he has immunity, he had another strong set of entries this week. As did we all!

Also, ignoring the music for a second...

Awww - so cute! =)

Monmouth Castle is tiny. Avoid it. It's almost the case of going "that's not a castle, THAT'S a castle!" as we headed off to Abergavenny afterwards to make sure that we had enough castle in our day.

Monmouth itself is a very pretty town and I probably would have loved it more had I not been accompanied by children going "where's the castle?" and not believing that that was all there was...
