LET'S GET THIS WEEKEND STARTED!!!

\


I gave this a lot of thought.  Hmmm...What to do on Friday?  Some things have already been done, like "No Pants Friday" or "Freaky Friday" or...You get the point.  Besides, you don't want to see any of us traipsing around in our "Birthday" suit.  That could be...plain 'ole <ug-ah-lee>.

So I decided that I'll declare Friday at IAU, "Fun or WTF Friday."  This is the day where there's no holds barred ~in all fun and games, of course.~  This isn't a brawlfest or a bitch session, this is a day to share a joke or a strange, bizarre tale or tell us what you're planning for the weekend or cool places to visit, great ebooks to read, etc.

Today is a "No Work Day" and we want you to kick back, grab a glass or bottle of your favorite beverage and mingle.  If a fight should break out, my bouncer ~pointing to huge, bulking man in the corner~ Guido will not so kindly toss you out on your arse. 

So I'll start.  I'm not going to read.  I'm not going to write.  I'm going to kick back with my glass of wine and make as much noise as I possibly can.  BTW, I like being annoying at times.  If you don't believe me, click on the link below.  Now, what are you doing?

  2. Well, as I finished my line edits on my novel ms last night at 11:30, and sent them off to the publisher, I have no intention of editing ANYTHING today. I'll be doing a little bit of writing, a little bit of jigging, and a whole lot of loafing :)

  3. Okay, so this is my stupidity for the day: So, I was sitting with the laptop with my legs crossed and being quite productive. Being on a roll and feeling quite comfortable I kicked my slippers off my feet and kept working.

    Decided I was hungry and slipped my shoes back on my feet. They felt funny, but I ignored it. Later my son asked, "Why are your shoes on the wrong feet?"

    Sure enough, I looked down and and my feet were going in two different directions. Moral to the story. If you're going to kick off your shoes, do it before you cross your legs.

  4. I'm going to sit in my living room, turn up the music, break open the cider, put the pizza in the oven, and then spend the evening writing away and killing characters, again. Then once I'm done, I'll start on some comedy writing and make everyone do silly things like fishing in a swimming pool.

  5. I had to work until 9:30 pm on St. Patrick's Day, and being 100% Irish, that is a mortal sin. So I must atone tonight by drinking and carousing with friends. Keep in mind that at my age, one beer and I'm looped. I'm a cheap date.

  6. I have decided to take the day off from writing & sitting at computer to clean my house. The windows are all open and the breezes clean and fine(gotta love NC)So far I've done 1 load of laundry,oh I ate breakfast. It's almost noon and I am still in front of computer. I am addicted to IAU & WKB. As soon as I leave I come back for a fix, either that or I'm just nosey...

  7. If paying tax 24/7 is 'random stupidity' then I have only one thing to say: In a crazy world the last refuge for the sane is (indie published) smut.

  8. Some back of the cereal box trivia regarding the song, "Let's Get It Started"...

    You may have noticed that the song begins with the lyrics "In this context, there's no disrespect," which may seem to not make any sense. (Who would think that getting "it started" was disrespectful?) The original song (Track 3 on "Elephunk") was "Let's Get Retarded," an attempt to take the slang "gettin' stoopid" up a notch. Which is why the lead-in to the chorus is, "Everybody | Let's get into it | let's get stupid | Let's..." (insert your version of the song here.) The rerecorded "Let's Get It Started" was a late edition, making up the final track of the CD.

    Needless to say, while the Black Eyed Peas may have said, "...there's no disrespect," offense was taken, the track re-recorded, and an attempt to add a new bit of slang to the world died before many people were ever aware of it.

    Just "a strange, bizarre tale" for WTF Friday. :)

  9. Was going to write today--working on Find Me, as Coby and I plan our vacation around the Bayou. Woke this morning to the graphic image and feel of aligator teeth crunching down on me. Decided maybe I would not write today, and just maybe I'd change my vacation plans. Love researching my books in the real world, but I just don't think I want to be aligator bait.

  10. Still on the road, but celebrated St Patrick's Day in Orange, California. Not the same as Chicago. This weekend is a working one for me, but just wait till Monday... when I finally get home!

  12. What am I doing? I'm not sure yet. I have to resume my freelance gig and hopefully work on Demo Tapes 3 a bit... maybe find the mojo I think I may have lost... definitely keep an eye on the Weekend Hangout (Y'all are invited over to play!)...

    Nothing too stressful. I've got enough stress as it is.

  13. It's Comic Relief day here in the Uk so we're watching comedy and laughing a lot, while being very grateful that we have homes, enough to eat etc. But mainly laughing, a lot.

  14. I feel that laughter is a vitamin for the soul. I love fun. I love love. And I love to laugh. I'm glad for you guys for coming over with your random nonsense. It makes my day LOL

  15. One of my kids has a toy, it's a bright red, squishy ball with a goofy face and it's called a Giggler. You throw it at things, or whack yourself or other people with it - it doesn't hurt. When impacted on something hard enough it erupts into the most infectious giggles ever. I can't keep a straight face when it's going off.
