Green Room - Sign Up Week - Weekend Edition

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?

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.

My mom does the same thing and as she gets older, it gets a lot more difficult. She gets sick more often and recovery time is longer. No fun :(

Okay, I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose. And I'm totally fine with that.

I'm having similar worries about The Giver. I'm afraid it'll not do the book any justice and I love that book.

This is the first weekend I've had off in... a very long time.

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...

[identity profile] anyonesghost.livejournal.com 2014-03-09 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let you know in a minimum of 28 days. :-)

My weakness is books at yardsales and resale shops. If they're falling apart and bad looking, that's wonderful!

Books in general are a weakness - but a good weakness to have. The smell of a new book and the distinctive smell of an old one, am I right?

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

Late Commenter League: Lazy weekend

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...

[identity profile] theun4givables.livejournal.com 2014-03-09 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. :) Me, too.

I have no intention of staying at the job, forever, but it has at least allowed me the ability to save up some cash and buy a car, which I desperately needed to do.

I just can't do this schedule for the rest of my life, because ow, my sleep.

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.

I made a raspberry murlow (sp) once when I was still married with real fruit.
My now ex drank it after the first titration.
He said it was good with the exception that it got a little bitter at the end of the jug.
I was not happy.

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!

Ahhh Intro? Week 0? Dead dead dead.

Oh my god... oh my god.

Yeah, I'm totally going to die on this. Guaranteed.

I am guilty! Sometimes I didn't know what to say. :)

Spring forward, my ass. More like stumble out of bed forward.

Mornin', y'all. I didn't add the "good" because that would be a LIE!!

Yay! Found the "hook" I needed for my intro entry.

I made turkey bacon for breakfast. Who wants some?

[identity profile] monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com 2014-03-09 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love some!

Now that my bleary eyes can focus, I put some biscuits on the table too.

I feel you. I couldn't sleep last night and I'm running on 3 hours of rest. Ick! Need more caffeine!

[identity profile] monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com 2014-03-09 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I got about 5 hours of not-so-great sleep last night before I had to hop out of bed and head to work.

And I gave up caffeine last summer because I wasn't sleeping at all with the stress of opening my library, so I don't even have that to fall back on! AARGH!

*Hugs* Hope you get better soon
