Good morning.

I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but one of your own has compiled a list of teams and people who are still looking for teams: http://misfitmanor.livejournal.com/911.html  It's a handy guide - but just make sure that those "confirmed" teams listed are contacting me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com with their info.  Otherwise they won't be in the polls as a team!  So get to it (I just got the second one this morning)

***

The first topic is up: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/867839.html  but not many entries, so get on that as well! :)   For readers though, it's a great chance to get ahead - you can check out, and comment on, the entries already up so that you don't get overwhelmed with the poll!

Any big plans for the weekend?

Since I'm dead, I guess I don't get a frist, huh?

You're not dead. You're merely dead to me. The fact that I consider you dead will not prevent you from taking physical action, such as declaring yourself "frist" again.

However, having done so (again), you leave me no choice but to declare you "dead to me" (again)... and as such, this will (once more) result in the sharing and consumption of cookies as a form of commiseration.

yes, you can be "dead to me" more than once. just deal with it while you eat your cookies.

No one is allowed to eat cookies. Only Gary gets cookies. I thought everyone here knew that?!

Didn't you get the memo?

Gary already *GOT* the cookies... but he's not going to eat them:

I'm pretty sure it was in the same place as the TPS reports.

That being said, the spousebeast and I are doing Thanksgiving 2.0 to make up for the fact that he spent his exiled in Delaware, forced to make Stove Top stuffing and look through endless pictures of dead deer by his stepdad's chain-smoking sons.

It's also my penance for spending the day here with his sister, hanging out on the deck, sipping wine while her husband did all the cooking. ;)

Holiday decorations, the last of the leaf raking, starting the consumption of my Whiskey Advent Calendar, Doctor Who season finale, tinkering with current novel.

... guess I should get an entry dashed out, too, while I'm thinking of it ..

My wife has been at work for three days without being able to come home. Tonight, she comes home. Which means I'd better get some serious housecleaning done.

Have agility with the dogs tomorrow morning - hopefully it won't rain! Apart from that just housework and getting my entry written.

My plans for the upcoming weekend

Date: 2015-12-04 10:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ellakite.livejournal.com
PRIMARY PLAN: Writing my story for THE REAL LIVEJOURNAL IDOL while constantly worrying that it just isn't good enough.

SECONDARY PLAN (Only to be followed if I succeed with Primary Plan rather early): Take in a performance of A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER on Broadway -- the show is going to close down in the next few weeks, but a very good friend told me that it's well worth seeing. (PS: I can get tickets at an extreme discount.)

HA, I FINISHED MY ENTRY EARLY!!!

I have electrician school tomorrow until 2:30, then I have no plans for the rest of the weekend. Maybe wrapping presents or going for dinner. Time will tell...

OH, I'm making cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow morning if anyone wants to share! Bring coffee and fruit!

First, the entry. Which I sort of thought I'd have finished by now, but no. :O

Second, Leaves. Piles and piles of leaves. LEAVES. And possibly outdoor lights. And Lego assembly? I hope not the holiday baking, just yet...

Winter's here, the snow has come, but I don't mind at all.
Now no one sees the autumn leaves I didn't rake this fall.

I saw your note about snow in your area. We never get snow here, but we end fall kind of late-- so all the leaves bombard us in December while we are trying to do other things!

Scientists came out this year and said not raking leaves is better for the environment! Yes, I'm one of those annoying people! All manner of beasties benefit from the carpet of leaves left behind, it is it's own ecology. Plus it's natural mulch and nutrient rich!

Pardon any language please! :)

We have such a huge quantity that we can't leave it all. Especially under or near azaleas/rhododendrons-- it can kill them. As well as the lawn. :(

But it does give me encouragement not to be too meticulous about it!

Yay for saving some work! I love Rhodo! We have walls of them shielding us from the neighbors eyes! Hehehe.... not that anything nefarious is going on mind you!

My plans for tomorrow are to be out in the freezing cold, starting at 8 in the morning, at an outdoor Winter Wonderland Farm and Art Market.

I can't believe I signed up for this kind of nonsense, I hate the cold and early mornings. (Yes, 8 is early). My vendors are all "It's so much fun!" and I'm all "You're insane! The cold has frozen your neurons!"

Sunday, I'll be taking at least 7 hot showers to thaw out.

My daughter has a fever of 103.2, so I'm keeping a close eye on her. Also getting over some bronchitis crud, cramming for concerts next week, and trying to sell my house.

If I can say a few brief things about Scott Weiland...

Grunge was a huge breath of fresh air for me. It was like all of the music I'd been listening to in the 80's was suddenly being validated by the world. I loved grunge bands famous and unknown and continue to love many of them to this day.

I was still young enough at that time to be a snobbish ass. It wasn't until the late-90's that I transformed into a less snobbish ass. Like a caterpillar that turns into a slightly less icky caterpillar.

Anyhow, because I was a snob, I didn't want to admit that I really liked STP. I refused to buy any of their CDs, but when I was alone and one of their songs came on the radio, I'd always crank it and then feel immensely guilty but kind of thrilled none the less.

By the time they released "Big Bang Baby," their popularity was dwindling and I could finally start liking them. "You guys, they're finally making good music," I'd say to my imaginary fellow music snobs. I used this as an excuse to buy their greatest hits CD when it came out.

Anyhow, Weiland was a troubled soul, but it was a great, charismatic singer and front man. I am sorry that he died so young but I'm glad I can still share this song:

+1 to this. (Though I had no qualms about buying Purple the day it came out -- I didn't grow into my snobbish until the late 90's.) Weiland was a go-to vocal inspiration when I was still doing the rock band thing, and I covered a number of STP songs back in the day. Even if the end wasn't a surprise per se, it still hit pretty hard.

(Current listening: "Lady, Your Roof Brings Me Down")

There's something about his dancing/demeanor that was simulataneously artful and entirely detached back in his STP days. I'm in a band and have tried to model my dancing after his on occasion. Its not an easy line to walk between cool and herky jerky.

One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Goin' blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline....

I feel ya on this...

He was actually a very expressive vocalist and knew how to use his voice to great effect. I think STP largely owes their success to his delivery.

They definitely owe a lot of their appeal to Scott.

Hands down favorite, imagine driving down the highway 70-80-90 mi. An hour....

Grunge was such a relief for me. I'd turned off the radio in the early 80s, once disco really took hold, and I missed some New Wave as a result.

I finally got brave enough to turn the radio back on in the early 90s, and there was grunge- everything I'd loved about rock, not too metally and with interesting instrumental sounds and melodies.

I had no qualims about liking STP. And even though the band is no more, I mourn the loss of Wieland's talent and a life ended far too soon. So sad.

They were planning a reunion apparently. STP recently appeared with Joss Stone (!!!) on Jimmy Kimmell (https://youtu.be/bfYKWsEuz-0).
