People asked "What will happen to the people who lost their match ups" and I've been honest with everyone - I don't know!

Because that decision is left up to The Wheel and I wasn't going to ask it until tonight.

As in right now. I'm spinning it in real time! (as I'm writing this. FYI - when you see me write *spins* or something like that, it's because I am pausing from writing it and ACTUALLY spinning the wheel. Just in case you thought I had done it earlier. Nope. I'm finding out when you find out!)


The options are that all of them are eliminated.
None of them is eliminated
Write Off
Black Mark for all 3 

*spins*

Write Off!!!

So  [personal profile] alycewilson  [personal profile] halfshellvenus and [personal profile] roina_arwen are on the hot seat. 

You have until Thursday, November 20th at 8pm ET.  It's an Open Topic, so it can be anything - just bring your A-game! 

Link your entry to the comments below. 

As far as everyone else - maybe someone can figure out where this empty vial came from that I almost tripped on when I came down here. 

Please vote for me

in the Idol poll here! Only a few hours left, and I'm falling behind. :(

I just finished a book about an angry roadrunner god, "Snake Eater" by T. J. Kingfisher. The author writes a lot of fantasy, mostly in British settings (which has bled into the language here somewhat), but this is an American Southwest-inspired book. Kind of Ann Tyler meets desert magic, and it was speedy and satisfying. I loved all of its small town characters.

TV-wise, I think we're getting near the end of the UK version of Life on Mars, and I'm not ready. Our son has done some Googling on the series, though, and discovered that the Gene Hunt character (the blowhard, ballistic boss) was enormously popular when the show first aired. He IS hugely fun, though I love the soulful overall theme of the show. In any case, there was a follow-on series that is available on Amazon Prime, so we'll be watching that next. Three more seasons of the Gene Genie! I definitely need that in my life. :D

Poll Help

For Idol this week, we are competing in a head-to-head pool with another author. Only one is guaranteed to move forward, and I could really use your votes. The poll is here, and it closes Tuesday afternoon. Thanks for your support!

We watched Playdate on Amazon Prime last night. It was stupid fun, and Alan Ritchson (from the Reacher TV series) clearly had a lot of fun with it. I'm not sure why Kevin James is in it, but... eh. No harm, no foul.

Someday, we'll get around to watching Ice Road: Vengeance, since Ice Road was surprisingly fun. Lots of twisted, unexpected humor that makes the movie much more enjoyable than it has any right to be!
