Green Room - Week 5 - Day 2

Today is the day!!

No, not the deadline, that’s tomorrow. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/624011.html and http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/623695.html

I just felt like freaking out anyone who was just scanning these things into thinking they were about to miss the deadline!

Now you will learn not to just scan, or rush to say ‘FRIST!’

But today is a day, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t be THE day! Survivor does come on tonight after all. As does Our Inferior Television Cousin, and Top Chef! So, it’s possible.

Maybe it’s the day that the thing lurking near you, the one that you can sometimes see slight movement out of the corner of your eye and freaks you out before you realize that it was a “trick of light”, maybe it’s the day that it finally gets you!

What are your hopes for the day?

Fifth? Eighth? Meh, whatever. :)

My hope for today is to get my SCI entry written (I haz an IDEA) and posted! Other than that, going out to have lunch with my hubby in about an hour - w00t.

What is "our inferior television cousin"?

"inferior television cousin"

a version of Idol that is on television, but not as good as this one.

I've only been calling it that since Season 1. ;)

My hope for today is to get rid of this sinus headache. Snow is supposed to be moving in and, if the air pressure is any indication, it's going to be a bunch.

Oh, and to actually get some work done, but only because it involves cutting my paycheck and lightening the stacks already piled on my desk.

Tonight's plans include the first workout on the treadmill I acquired on Monday. What can I say? I was inspired by Gary's reference to "From Couch to 5K"... *fingers crossed that I stick with it*

Oh, I hope you feel better soon. I've had a lovely cold all week. Curse you, daycare. :-p

Good luck with your treadmill! Mine is currently functioning as a ramp for my two year old to drive his trucks on. Oops.

My hope is to get my entry done, or at least the rough draft. I hate going down to the wire!

And I WAS hoping for a bike ride today, until I saw that the sunny weather was going to be augmented by 20mph winds. Augh! God, I hate Sacramento. :(

Um, that I might have an idea to write about? My main hope, which was that my boyfriend would offer to do dishes, has already been realised. Now I'm just finishing off knitting an underskirt for a ridiculously complex Tudor-era doll I'm making and getting excited about the prospect of being near to finishing her. Then I might start on a meerkat.

This is your brain on knitting?
kehlen_crow
Feb. 20th, 2013 07:49 pm (UTC)
I don't knit often or well, but it could be an idea, how at first your brain has to work hard to let you do it, and then it phases out gradually... and you wake up and see your hands have done it all wrong a couple of times, but then finally you do not need your brain at all. Or this is how it usually works for me. :)

There's been some really good writing for this topic, and that includes a bulk of the SCI pieces. But I expect that, obviously. :)

My hope for the day is to reach the fundraising goal on the indiegogo campaign that my friend set up to help me with my tremendously awful medical expenses. There are 14 hours left, so this is the very last chance, and we've been SO fortunate that the campaign is currently 69% funded! But a lot of people are pushing for that final 31% (indiegogo takes a 10% cut if the campaign isn't funded in full). So if anyone is interested, here is the campaign link. Please, if you can, share this with friends, coworkers, family, communities, or do whatever you feel comfortable doing. If we hit $3K - and again, we're 69% of the way there! - I will be able to pay a large chunk of expenses that insurance decided yesterday that they don't want to pay for (a long story, but gods forbid you have any sort of illness in America. Insurance dictates how you live, or almost die, here).

Thanks to anyone who can donate, share, or help in any way, and as for the competition - I'll be reading. And missing the game. Stupid real life. What is real life, anyhow? (I think that's rhetorical, but, maybe not...)

My hope for today is that one of the two ideas I have for my entry will suddenly turn into a blinding ray of light with the words PICK ME so I don't have to keep bouncing between both. Bouncing makes me dizzy :p

We're supposedly getting another round of SNOW this weekend :headdesk:

Probably you should keep thinking up more ideas? I sometimes go with the 5th or something, even though there are a couple of maybes first.

All of my hopes for the day have been answered: I got my DE driver's license (finally), managed to complete a chapter, don't have to worry about my Idol entry because I finished it yesterday, and my child is mostly behaving.

It's really about all I can ask for. ;)

My hopes for the day are to stop the blood pouring from my nose, make it through this vendor meeting, and not get eaten by the creature that's apparently moved into my wall. I know, I like to start small and work my way up. And really I'm just hoping that the thing in the wall is a cat the exterminator let loose in there on purpose to eat anything else in the wall. Even so, I've read this book. I know it doesn't end well. Next thing you know there will be a cow in there. Pfah.

But you know, if I'm extra lucky, I'll get my entry finished and posted. Fingers crossed.

Feb. 20th, 2013 07:04 pm (UTC)
I hope the blood stops pouring from your nose too! And the thing in your wall is probably a mongoose the exterminator let loose to catch snakes, so you can rest assured your walls are now snake-free!

I hope to get a good start understanding the workings of marchland community into which I was just accepted.

All the while reading as many Idol entries as possible. May be this will be the week I read at least one entry of each contestant. I have not be able to do so since the mini-season started. :/

I am hoping my body starts appreciating me again! In the last two days I've smashed my toes into a couch and strained a ligament in my toe, and today a large section of my latissimus dorsi is right effed.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS. Okay, I think I am going to try to sit down and get this week's entry written. I hope everybody is having a spiffing day <3

Yesh
I might try to do some writing now that the dwarvin daycare in my head has calmed a bit. But I is so run down lately I don't know if I will.
I haz a collection of zombie stories to finnish and an idea for a hg entry for the main topic. Some none fiction wit humor. Well my attempt at humor cause I think most peoples here have an idea on what that's like.

My hope today was to finish my frickin entry, and I did it! :wipes sweat off her brow: This topic was HARD! I was debating between being cliche or trying to find something unique...I think I fell somewhere in the middle. But it's done, WOOT!!

It's cold. Anyone want to share some hot apple cider and cinnamon sticks with me? I am in a hot drinks, warm belly state of mind.
