Random ramblings, because there's nothing I'd rather be doing.

New scoreboard. Note the new format. Yeah, tables = big and annoying and hard to format easily. Screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet? Easy peasey!

You'll note the points for just participating have gone up. They will continue to do so.

I've included all the bonus points I can remember with the exception of any accrued on the icon post. But if you think I'm missing others, call me on it! I toss around +1s and +2s pretty casually and might not remember.

Round Three will close on Friday. Six little URLS will get you at least 6 points, and up to 15-20 more if they're awesome. Round Four will stay up until next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. A few words gets you an automatic 2 points!

In other news, I need to stop reading the lj_biz comments. I'm okay with everything for awhile, then people raise good points or the staff has some stupid remark and I get riled up again. On the other hand, I have the desire to post a newly made (read: underage) vagina bag in a compromising position with a new knitted (read: underage) penis pincushion.

But that could just be the juvenile in me.

Also, making a shrimp out of a drinking straw. Possible Shrimp Bingo table dressing? (assuming I go next year, the person who always invites me is preggers and goodness knows what's going to happen with her and her job, if she stays full-time or what).

Hmm. Now in fourth. I need to figure out bonus points.

Too tired though, atm. I don't get how, for once, I can wake up with too little sleep all full of energy, and then get hit later by the lack. I usually just drag when I get up, and then hit my next wind later in the day.

Random: I swear I have the most tenacious infestation of ants ever. They're back! Again! Despite spray! What do I do? /wailing and gnashing of teeth

Yeah, but only 5 points separates you from second, so it's still a close game. :) And there's still a lot of game left. You know, I thought of some more rounds but have now forgotten them... *sigh* My brain really is jello!

It's because you've passed your limit. You've hit THE WALL, and couldn't break through. *hands you some chamomile tea and a sleep mask*

You know, our ants hung around for quite awhile, but they finally went away. What's the situation outside? Are you ground floor? Is there a lot of shrubbery around? Can you sprinkle Borax around the foundation? (That will help curb insect problems but won't hurt birds and mammals)

[gelsey.livejournal.com]

True. Perhaps I should try to answer things when it's not the middle of the night.

Though, on the other hand, maybe that's why I'm so high up. Hmm.

Mine is jello too. Trust me. Not even the tasty sort, either, lol.

I sprayed again, right around where I think the bastards are coming through. I am on the ground floor, but no bushes, just grass. I will have to go find some of that stuff, though. Just to see if it helps. I really don't want to have to talk to the landlady about it if I don't have to.

I'm guessing me being in the lead has a lot to do with the crayons. ;)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Yes, though there was another picture that will really, really, really challenge you for first place. :D In fact, I thought that was a slam-dunk winner until I saw yours...

[dynastic-queen.livejournal.com]

You mean we've BOTH knitted a vagina purse?? Ha! That's cool.

Although mine wasn't on purpose, I'll admit. My friend and I just happened to notice the ASTONISHING resemblance after I'd finished. Must have been subliminal.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Ah, the purse is a sewing thing, and I haven't made one yet - but I have patterns for them! I have to admit more of my stuff turns out unintentionally phallic... :D

Ooh, seventh place. I am starting to think I should have been more inspired with my iconage ;) Oh, well, I'll make it up in another way :D :D

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

They were pretty inspired! Mostly you're just working at a round two deficit right now, but they'll be chances to make it up!

[tjstein.livejournal.com]

wow, 14th place...not bad considering everything

oh and do I get points for pointing out that my username is spelled incorrectly?

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, I'll give you 'gee I feel crummy and that was a bad friend thing to do' +5. :/ I seriously have problems with words with ie/ei in them. I know all the mnemonic devices for remembering the rules, but I just can't. Spelling is not me forte. Yay, Firefox spell-check!

[tjstein.livejournal.com]

holy crap...fifth! and I'm barely even trying! *is stunned*
