The Countdown - 24

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Ken Ham called me up this morning to let me know how excited that he was that there were only 3 days until the start of the new LJ IDOL season!

I explained to him that no, there are 24. But he just kept right on talking.

Fortunately though, he's going to be ready to go when it does come! How about you?

***

For those still interested in such things, the fundraising goals are still out there! Obviously, we will end up releasing the FAQ at some point before the season actually starts! ;) But if you want it sooner...

Also, if you want to see that video that inspired the season, we are only $44.22 away from that happening!

There are numerous ways to do it. Do you like Paypal? That's probably the most straight-forward, my email is clauderainsrm@gmail.com!

Do you like a more formal format? OK! http://www.gofundme.com/LJ-Idol

How about just giving a set amount every month? http://www.patreon.com/user?u=70027

All of the donations (including the ones to those other two causes I posted about earlier) are added together toward our total! :)

Want to build a realistic replica of Hannibal's invasion out of cheddar cheese? I'm sure there is a link for that too!

I just watched my son make a mouth out of red construction paper, glue and marshmallows, then "brush" the teeth with a paper toothbrush. Just saying.

That's so cute.

I'd gladly brush my teeth with marshmallows, LOL! :)

I'm no dentist, but I think that might defeat the purpose.

We were at the library, where the topic of the day was, as you might have guessed, dental health.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

From your description of KFP's project, it sounded like he made the teeth out of marshmallows, so I was sort of taking that the other way around. ;)

Yes, you got it right, and I got the joke. I apologize for my lack of a smiley. I have read that periods on the Net are read as grumpiness. Harumph. What hoo-ha.

Very cute photo! :)

This post reminds me that I need to watch Bill Nye pwning Ken Ham. Because Bill Nye. BILL NYE.

Also, if Idol were starting in three days I would not be ready. Or well, I would be, but I wouldn't be. Is it a little sad that I'm already kinda sorta drafting my Week 0 entry in my head? Because I'm totally doing that.

But then again, so much has changed since I last introduced myself to the Idol crowd. I just am really excited for this, okay? Okay.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Of course, sometimes there hasn't been a Week 0! Just sayin'...

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Yes, during Season 8.

My first, real season with Idol. ;)

But it's always good to be kinda sorta prepared. ;)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

True. "Kinda sorta" is about as good as it gets around here!

What will happen when you can no longer use your 99 icons???

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'll probably only retire this one, which has "99" on it. The others are still usable. :)

Now I need to go watch old episodes of Bill Nye. I miss that show.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

I miss it, too. I had a science teacher named Mr. Bye, and we often sung the Bill Nye theme song in class.

Ah, to be 12 again. =p

I watched the debate with my mom and when she agreed with Ken Ham I found yet another reason why we don't get along.

It was an eventful night. ;)

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

There were times that I agreed with Ken Ham, but usually it was about stuff that was completely irrelevant to the topic of the debate. He made some good points, they just had nothing to do with anything, and the rest of what he said was ridiculous. ;)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... cheese!

I'm excited about Season 9 starting up soon - w00t w00t! I'm also looking forward to the upcoming season of The Amazing Race, despite the Afghanimals being on it. ;)

HEY I ACTUALLY GET YOUR CULTURAL REFERENCE TODAY.

You see, Gary, there's this handy book that tells you EXACTLY when LJI is going to start. If you'd just read it and believe it without question, your life would be so much simpler!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I think I should be ready come March... right now, I still have a lot going on, what with having an anthology to release and all.

I really hope I'm going to be able to set aside enough time for Idol stuff though. Discover some new talent and get my writing fingers back in the habit. I've been reading Stephen King's "On Writing," so maybe I'll try and put into practice some of his advice that I may not have already been doing well. :)

I expect one can find anything on the Internet.

For the love of bob, if you cant find it you can create it.
