LJ Idol Presents:

1. Things are OK. Or at least reasonable OK.

Given that I know someone who lost her granddaughter, someone I met a few times, but would have liked to know better die, and the wife of Cynthia's co-worker (who I have met socially quite a bit at company functions) go to the roof of the hospital and jump to her death - I'm really not in a place to complain about much of anything!

2. Right now all of that is up in the air. I know that I want to have a special project right after Season 9 that will last a couple weeks. Any mini-season will be after that. I also know that regardless of when it is that part of the crowd will say "it's too soon!" after the season and some will say "it's not soon enough" and there will be a cry of "You said it was the LAST SEASON!" from several corners. :)

3. According to what I just saw that's London's midnight. (our time hasn't changed *yet*). Has yours?

4. I've never said 40 weeks. I said "about a year". I'm never that exact!
