[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The day of the vote! Who will rise and who will fall and who will be... well, still in the hunt?*g*

So who's entries have you been enjoying, and anyone have any big plans for the weekend?

Comments

No big plans for me this weekend, just work.

I'm excited about the vote!

[littlelessevil.livejournal.com]

Ew to working on the weekend.

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed tulip_in_yellow's entry this time.

I am going to a party on Saturday.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Ooooh party!

[welfy.livejournal.com]

I have "big plans" this weekend but no time to write about it.

I can't remember who wrote it, but I really enjoyed the one about the fear of shrimp. I love shrimp but it made my stomach turn! And lacombe's entry made me laugh so hard! There are others I really liked, too, and will be voting for them once I get them all read!

And if anyone missed it, I wrote an entry (http://welfy.livejournal.com/2418356.html) on terror, too.

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

I loved the shrimp one. That one is totally on my list for voting and I loved Lacombe's too, especially when he double bagged that bug!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Oh can it be me? Can I still be in the hunt?

PLEASE???

As for whose entries I have been enjoying, I am going to post a list in my journal at the time of the vote. A couple of them really, REALLY touched me and they got soul-baring comments.

[ok, and I was lazy with a couple more that I really liked and just said "good"]

No plans this weekend. Blues has to work, and I have to clean. Kids coming next week.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Bring the bait!

[hopefulnebula]

I'm enjoying them all, and my pretty star! Also learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard.

Oh, and as for plans. I was going to go to Belgium, but the strike deep-sixed that little plan. :(

[lttledvl.livejournal.com]

Le crapola for your plans getting messed up. Hope things turn out well.

What the heck is a Dvorak keyboard?

[beemerbike.livejournal.com]

if i wasn't so blah I would go get some eggs and make fantastic chocolate chip cookies...hmmm...maybe the brownies don't need eggs. brb...checking.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Brownies need eggs (or some kind of egg substitute or they aren't exactly brownies.

[dragonfluff.livejournal.com]

Woot, front page! Now off to get some coffee.....

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Congrats for being here so early

*grin*

May I have some coffee too, please?

[minikin.livejournal.com]

I'm really going to have to start keeping notes. There were so many that really touched me, some that made me cry, some that made me laugh. Next week, note-keeping, fershur.

Fridays are always amazingly busy for me - Life Group in the morning, the Mat in the evening, errands in between, and tonight I need to get to sleep early. Critter has another speech tournament tomorrow, and these things start darned early. I'll be judging and just watching, with maybe some knitting thrown in for good measure.

Sunday brings church, where Pete will be teaching about Joshua in our Heroes series, and then I get to play with 2-year-olds. Or it might be there other way 'round. No special plans after church, except I've many half-started, unfinished tasks around the house to occupy myself.

Don't forget to check out my Color Swap! (http://minikin.livejournal.com/586866.html)

I finally had to do a spread sheet...just simple with a 1-10 scale and I only give myself a certain amount of votes each week--I vote for no more that 33% of those remaining in the hunt and no one below a 6 on the scale receives a vote.

[beemerbike.livejournal.com]

sweet! I can make brownies...no eggs needed.

[PSA]

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

If you are using either of my spreadsheets, they are up-to-date as of 8:49 am.

Oh, and I also put up my OpenOffice spreadsheet in case you wanted the whole thing.

These are as current as we are gonna get this round.

Two of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I have a pretty good list of "yes" votes waiting. As for plans, I'm going to try to catch viewings of No Country for Old Men and Beowulf this weekend.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Since Blues is working, that is good idea!

*pulling out the movie listings*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I got called into work at the new store... Opening day!

Hello 30% employee discount at Steve & Barry's!!!

Catch you all this evening!

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Don't know the store...but wow... 30% is always sweet!

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

I'm going to spend the next hour stressing about getting my assignment done.

Then I have to sit through an hour and a half of meetings (one of which I shouldn't have to be in anyway).

All this time, I'm going to be stressing about the WHOLE REST OF THE DAY. I have to go to a customer location and help with a contextual design interview where we go watch someone for two hours take a metric fuckton of notes and ask them questions about what they're doing if they skipped any steps, etc. I'm scared as hell, since I'm not a designer and this isn't in my job description, and there's a reason I work as a tester not support. I guess if I worked in support or design it wouldn't bother me, but OMG, I'm not qualified for this.

AND on top of that it's about audit steps and I am going to have NFI what they're talking about, because I've got a THEATRE degree and absolutely zero accounting experience.

Fun times.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to be on the road when the poll is posted, so I won't get to even think about posting that the voting is open or voting until like 7:00 tonight.

*cry*

[lttledvl.livejournal.com]

sounds like a fun day at work. *not*

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

It is so hard to list all the people who's entries I have enjoyed.

This has been a powerful week for some gut wrenching entries.

I still have a couple to read.

This weekend my husband is off to the Big Apple Con in New York to do a panel or two and probably sign some autographs. So I get bowling duty since the 16 year-old is very involved in bowling and has two tourneys this weekend.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I finished my PowerPoint presentation for school today! I'm EXHASUTED! Four days with 4-5 hours of sleep apiece! Friday, though! WOOHOO!

Best of luck to everyone today!

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Beowulf in IMAX 3-D ended up being sold out for tonight completely sold out. My friend will be trying to get us tickets for Sunday. On Saturday I've got a Photowalk in Brooklyn that I did the arranging for with a bunch of friends from FLICKR.

Right NOW though I'm contemplating if I want to switch between my written entry (http://lordrexfear.livejournal.com/733313.html) and the entry I wrote/posted photos about the artist NECK FACE entry (http://lordrexfear.livejournal.com/733059.html) as the actual entry for LJ Idol. Suggestions?

I get a sneaking suspicion I can be gone this week... unless all these byes somehow save for another week.

My hand is also still swollen and it really hurts to type after abit.

*wanders in with a cup of green tea*

Mornin' everybody!

Gotta do some major shopping today. We literally have no food in the house. Plus as much as I don't want to spend the $, I have to get new tires for the Jeep. Both front tires shimmied when hubby tried turning a corner yesterday :o

Tomorrow we're taking The Kidz to a sled dog demonstration on the other side of town. If you have a husky or malamute, you're encouraged to bring them and let them try out a sled. I have the feeling Jack's going to have the time of his life!

Oh, and musn't forget the wallpaper stripping *rolls eyes* When I'm not doing the above, I'll be here trying to finish reading everyone's entries.

Good Luck Everyone!

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD, you have to totally take photos of the sled dogging and then post links in the green room or just send me an e-mail:

Good Morning! The filing I was going to do yesterday? Yeah.. didn't happen. I got caught up in doing modly duties for my RPG. Oooops? Maybe I'll file today. Or maybe I won't. XD

In other news, today marks the end of my first week of carpooling and I must say.. not riding the train to work everyday is the best thing in the world. :)

[ambwilson.livejournal.com]

I'm really loving how a topic can be addressed in so many different ways.

Going out of town to the in-laws this weekend, then I'm off work all next week. Yay!

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

I still have many entries to read, and I can't wait! Getting to know you all through this competition is fun, and--despite my nervousness--I'm glad I did it...

Saturday is my student's art exhibition, and I am excited for them! As for me, I feel the need to refocus my energies and plan for some changes ahead!

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Morning.

Weekend plans?? Try to not jump off the deep end I was make some made attempts to get my portfolio finalized for class tomorrow. If I get things done today during work/and tonight then hopefully go see Beowulf at a late but not to late show. Class from 8am to 3:30pm tomorrow (*shakes* in boots, I am so not looking forward to it). After class I will have a few hours to myself then go pick up the parents from the airport, drive them all the way home and then turn around and drive myself all the way home because my brother can't pick them up as he lost his license and my sister couldn't get out of work.
As for Sunday, no real plans but probably hitting the books pretty hard as we are down to like a month before this semester is over so I need to get my ducks in a row.

I have really liked a lot of the entries I have read. There is some talented people in this bunch. Good to luck to everyone:)

Back to work I go.

[missinfinity.livejournal.com]

I'm going home! 5 hour bus ride, but first an 1.5 hour one to Pittsburgh. Uck. And it's snowy. :(

But I'm going home!!!

And I only have to walk ~6 blocks, so not hard.

[tryslora]

Goals for today? Gaming, writing (must write CRITIQUES which I've been not doing for days for my writing group), updating the calendar with school events, and oh yeah, maybe some work sorts of things at the job.

The weekend? KNITTING! I love knitting group -- five hours of gossip with likeminded non-mundane female friends. We blather on about Dr. Who or Torchwood or more risque topics (which my daughter ignores... ALL of them...) and it's just a nice break. Other than that, not much planned other than cleaning and gaming (I like my online gaming).

I'm just soooo freakin' glad it's Friday and I can get OUT of this place at 5pm!!!

[tryslora]

And oh yeah, I am keeping a list of the ones that knock it out of the park as I read them -- I've got about just under 20 so far, after reading two pages of entries. Am hoping to finish reading the rest today. *fingers crossed*

There is some AMAZING stuff out there. I am awed!

[newsong.livejournal.com]

Top of the morning to everyone!

I am now taking the bus (Grrr!) with lots of paraphernalia to go take photos and study at the Library, which because of a strike is barely open. I can't take my car because it costs too much...

I've tried to read as many entries as I could, but since my priorities are woefully in order, I'll be reading most of them long after the vote - in December. Sorry, guys. I love ya'll!

I will be glad if I continue to make it to when there's about half this many people so I can properly read the entries.

I have big glamorous plans of crocheting this weekend. I know, I know. You ALL wish you could have my life. What can I say? Some of us just have it sweet.


I have been enjoying several people's postesses. Some are very scary and wig me out, though.

[dedamona.livejournal.com]

i'm crocheting AND going to a craft fair. i must master a pattern for baby booties this weekend so i can teach it to someone else.
