Listen.

Do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell?

Closer.

Let me whisper in your ear.

Say these words you long to hear:

LJ IDOL SIGN UPS ARE HAPPENING!!! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/711493.html

That's right. They are happening right now! It closes on Monday evening, so if you know people who haven't jumped on this train, they are going to end up in front of it, and standing in front of a train never ends well. Unless, of course, you are Superman, and then it doesn't end well for the train. But fortunately, this is a train made out of Kryptonite. So if are you Superman, you are about to get a nasty surprise!

If you have chosen the correct path though, Week 0 entries are due on Monday as well: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/712370.html for those who wish to get that ball rolling.

Yes, sometimes it's a train and sometimes it's a ball! Next time it might be a man-eating tiger, or perhaps a woman-eating tiger, or a facebook tiger which is finally recognizing that it's not binary and giving you options of different gender variations that it likes to eat!

What are you doing this weekend?

Yay balls and tigers and Facebook and Green rooms and stuff. :)

Currently catching up on Hawaii 5-0 with the hubby, then I'll be heading out to Kohl's to get a new purse, the strap is almost worn out on my old one.

I am in a much better mood than I was yesterday morning.

Or pretty much all day, yesterday.

That might be because I'm writing, even if it is slow going, because I am sooooo tireddddd right now. But I need to go downstairs and start laundry and then somehow stay awake long enough to not fuck up sleeping before work.

I really don't know how I do this, jumping from working 3rd shift to 1st shift to 2nd shift and back to 3rd shift. It's really quite inhuman, especially when during the week I'm my son's primary childcare person. Hm.

Doing universe building, character sketches, and plot-outlining for serial fiction. Just ... not the set of stories I thought I'd be doing. So that was a lot of good work heading in the opposite-from-intended direction!

Next up: cycle the laundry, walk the dog, and make some wine!

What a coincidence, Gary. I was just going to say what I'm doing this weekend is reading Idol introductions. According to my spreadsheet, I have commented on 82 percent of the entries I've read, which is pretty awesome for me, and I attribute that to my cats all being comatose after gorging on cat food.

Or maybe they're mad at me.

Date: 2014-03-08 05:44 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ellakite.livejournal.com
... and she's a female friend, too! But she said "No", on the grounds that she doesn't see how she can possibly keep up with the traditional Idol schedule she usually works weekends, 12+ hours each day being typical.

I am trying to get more people into Idol, Gary. I really am.

I walked out in the middle of a movie today. For the first time in my life. It was horrible, and senseless, and did not do one of my favourite books any kind of justice. *disgusted*

So if it so happens they show the Russian movie "Hard to be a god" where you are, well, be careful with it.

Because maybe it's just me, but my friend had the same reaction, and then while we dithered near the entrance of the auditorium for a while, several more people walked out as well.

I've never heard of that movie, but I can imagine that if it is Hard to be a God, it is equally hard to make a movie about one!

I'm at work today and tomorrow. Every third weekend I get to play supervisor as well as children's librarian. I've already done storytime for the day, the final showing of our Africa theme. My favorite part was the insanely loud percussion parade we did to say thank you for the rain falling on the savannah.

Tonight, I'm going to try The Gasthaus, a German restaurant near here, with a good friend I haven't seen in over a year! We live in the same town but we never seem to have matching schedules. So, here's to good beer and good friends on the weekend!

We have a German restaurant that I love called the Hofbrauhaus, about an hour away from us. My favorite entree is the Heidelberger Rahm Spatzle: pulled Chicken And Spatzle
sauteed with caramelized onions and field mushrooms tossed into a marsala cream sauce. Om nom nom!

Enjoy your dinner with your friend!

But..... but... if I promise not to tell, I can't get more people to sign up. :P

I've been reading the entries, and commenting sporadically - my hands have been hurting a lot lately (sigh, gotta see the doctor soon) and so I have to do my internetting and writing in short bursts.

This weekend I'm going to work on porting the choose-your-own-adventure game I wrote to Avail, the programming language my sweetie and friends have been developing. Also, there will be board games and tasty spaghetti sauce and possibly watching some more Voyager on Netflix (we've been working our way through the Treks for a bit now).

ext_273745: (so many books)
From: [identity profile] goldmourn.livejournal.com
Today I deposited my bi-weekly pay, put money on bills and told myself I wouldn't go to the bookstore just a few steps away but of course I did. Only to browse, of course. I'd simply quickly take a glance. Book lovers will know what happened next. After that, I went to the grocery store and bought coffee and iTunes cards. I've spoiled myself however, in my defense, the coffee & music should help me do the task Gary has instructed us to do - which is to read the intro entries & drop some comments! Nearly 200 people are signed up for this season. It's a wee bit intimidating to think of reading every entry but honestly, I have no excuse not to do so.

As far as this weekend goes, I'm trying to reset my bodyclock and to get out of the [hopefully temporary] case of discontentment-itis that has dogged me for a few weeks.

The time change for Daylight Savings Time starts tonight, so after I get out of work tonight at 9pm, I'm going to have supper and then take a sleep aid. That way maybe I can wake up reasonably early tomorrow to write a less robotic introduction than what I've saved in drafts.

I keep forgetting that it's Saturday. I keep thinking it's, well, any other day. I don't like it.

And my big plans are cleaning, reading idol intros and tackling an epic to-do list. So far, so good! But still, this perpetual confusion as to what day it is needs to stop.

I'm currently on a train bound for NY state--final stop, Poughkeepsie. I've got a couple of students with me. We're doing an alternate spring break, traveling there for a workshop with the wonderful Kiese Laymon as we think about and talk about and write about race, place, and identity. I'm also trying to decide what to write about for this introduction...

Hai there!!!

Boyfriend and I went out for brunch, then he headed to the garage to work on his race car. I did some spring cleaning - my kitchen is now clean! Cupboards, all the dishes, microwave, floor, everything! Tomorrow is more cleaning: the bathroom, hallway/steps, and spare bedroom. Next week is our other spare room, the master bedroom, and the upstairs bathroom.

I know, I lead an exciting life. :p

Since you asked:

On one hand, being broke sucks, but on the other, it's nice to just spend the weekend at home watching DVR and doing some around-the-house stuff. We only had one thing to go out for this evening, and we got a call that it was cancelled, so no need to get out of my sweats and old T-shirt.

Tomorrow will likely be more of the same. Livin' the life...

One word - cleaning
yep every thing I am doing falls under that word.
Even cleaned my computer - tho I still cant use it. My new Tv doesn't work as a puter monitor.
Also, cleaning a computer with asthma when dust is a trigger and one does not have a filter mask thing is not such a good idea.

Been a rather quiet weekend over here. Already Sunday afternoon, boy, does time move fast. I've got to catch up with reading the rest of the entries and commenting. How do you all do it? In between moderating several fandom comms/blogs, doing work for AO3 and writing for fandom, my time online trickles down to near nothing for other things.

Tonight might be a nice night out, though; some friends and I will be visiting a cat cafe for the first time. c: Definitely looking forward to that!
