It’s funny to think about the fact that if it wasn’t for the RNC being here, Tropical Storm Isaac probably wouldn’t have worried a lot of people. After all, its still not organized into an actual hurricane. So people would have been watching it, but not with anything near the intensity as they are now.

I was listening to a nationally based radio show this morning where they were talking about the effects of the storm on the convention, and the reporter in Tampa was talking about the “downpour outside”.

Meanwhile, I was sitting in a parking lot at the bus depot *in downtown Tampa only a couple blocks from the place where most of the convention is taking place* and it was barely sprinkling. Maybe closer to “misting”.

There’s still time for it to have an impact. It hasn’t gone by yet, and even if it does go by instead of turning, it could very well gain strength, becoming an actual hurricane (even if it’s just a 1 or a 2) and cause someone some problems. But it’s always amazing when the rest of the country starts paying attention to what we call “Late Summer/Early Fall” and how we react to it!

Today is the last day to decide who will be in the final, and who wins the Idol Bronze! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/601673.html

Like a gender/ableist issue exploding in on online convention/fan community, LJ Idol is the gift the keeps on giving!

You don't earn a cookie until I say you're dead to me.

PS: You're *DEAD* to me!

Gary frequently doesn't post daily over weekends… and we're pretty sure he's counting down days.

The only question is: The number of days to *WHAT*.

To the end, one would presume :P

Days doesn't fit... Saturday was 9, so yeaterday would have been 8, and today 7... :-) plus, we can't hit the weekend because he already announced our "last weekend"....

Well, the results post would then be a 5, which would make Friday #1. I think it's number of community posts left, not days.

I think that makes more sense too... But that doesn't explain the missing numbers over the weekend. :-D

The results post would be five, the topic thread four, and then we'd need two more posts -- one for the poll, one for results, which would put us down two more posts.

So two more green rooms, maybe? Unless today's was really supposed to be 7, then three more green rooms. :)

I think he's counting down community posts, not necessarily days. If this post is 6, then the results post this evening should be 5.

Hello GR! I'm at work, yay. The hubby will be returning from Texas this evening, double YAY! I have no idea what to make for dinner - any suggestions from the peanut gallery?

(*Nothing spicy or with more than 8 ingredients!)

Spaghetti (you can make it as fancy as you want that way), enchiladas (again, made as fancy as you desire), a big fresh salad....

I'm just glad it's the Republican convention, because if it were the Democrats we'd never hear the end of how Isaac is God's punishment for their sinful ways.

Just occurred to me, doesn't the name "Isaac" mean "God laughs"? According to the news this morning, Gulf Shores, Ala., doesn't find the joke very funny.
