How is the new year working out for you so far? Want to go back to 2013? Speed up to 2015?
Or at least go somewhere a little warmer?
Your thermometers might be lowering, but the Idol one is slowly rising to the halfway point!!

Which is great, because I now have almost all of the graphics for the new season! And yes, they look awesome!
I've also almost finished the FAQ. That maybe isn't as awesome. Because I did it, and we all know how I am...

Hope you make it to a green room or two :)

Date: 2014-01-07 06:00 pm (UTC)But it can be done. Someone on my f-list finally made the push to finish her doctorate when her youngest was 18 months old, and she's teaching now!

Date: 2014-01-08 03:42 pm (UTC)Right now, I'm looking and I'd like to do something. But who knows where I'll be after the season is over!
Signing up and going as far as you can go means that you get to be in the Final Season! Which is better than assuming that there will be something else following...
Hopefully, those who do decide to sit out end up recruiting three or more people to take their place! :D
I have to admit, if we don't have over 300 this time I'll be very disappointed.

Date: 2014-01-09 04:52 pm (UTC)Of course, I said much the same thing to myself every week of Exhibit B (along with "I'm sure I'll be voted out this week"). So I could still change my mind and throw my hat into the ring at the last minute ... but we'll see. I think I'd prefer to be an enthusiastic spectator next time, all things considered. And maybe write all those editorial comments I didn't quite have time to send last time.

Date: 2014-01-07 10:04 pm (UTC)School was cancled Monday and started late today because it was dangerously cold.
Tis Iowa were the winter migrates from the arctic and the summer comes from the tropics.
I want spring.

Date: 2014-01-07 10:00 pm (UTC)yes this does mean that in the future my lasagna will be even more home made from scratch. I do seem to make raveoly not so well. Much practice still needed.
I have a written type thing posted.

I want the cold to go away.
have shows starting soon.
Am wondering if people who like British sci fi might know of a place that does not require a real credit card (not cash and check) to verify place of living but does have season 6+ of Primeval is or the ability to send them could let me know.
They are takeing forever to get on netflix.

Date: 2014-01-07 11:44 pm (UTC)It's been interesting; I promised myself that posting a picture was fine, and so far I haven't written much, just a sentence or two about my day. Still, it's something more than I'd been posting before, and I have a feeling that once I've settled into the semester, I'll start having more to say. It's different, though, being your actual self and writing to prompts--I have to think carefully about what I'd want my mom to see...
Which is to say: let's get this show on the road! I'm ready to write!
but must it really end, Gary? I am sad.
