I can't believe how much work went into that tutorial! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm barely hanging on to those two 6.0 scores. And I do mean barely. Just gotta make it through today and tomorrow...under the bridge, trolls!

thasnks for all te nice words. i officiallyhave flu. the kid is fine now, after spending wednesday/thurdsday morning puking. then i spent lasat night doing hte same. it would be ok, if my husband were home, but he's on the rig, and i'm doingthat single parent thing. feelng very sorry for myself. it's days like today that i completely break the only 1 hour of tv per day rule. as long as he gets to bed in one peice by teh end of the day, that'll be good enough for me today. i'm hunched over the eyborad like gollum, minly because ever part of me hurts. i came up to get mys lippers so i could go and chop kindling to get out house warm.

today, i hate my life.

Awww, you sound miserable. You even read miserable. Got any hot tea with honey? Won't cure you but it is soothing. Hopefully your youngun' will mostly amuse himself so you can get a wee bit of rest. Here's hoping you feel better soon!!

ooer. I just voted and commented on 100 of the free study entries. That's only just over 20%, how insane!

xianart you sound bad, girl! I hope you feel better soon and can get some rest.
Team - if any of you were planning to look at any of our profiles (Jeff, myself or Christian, etc.) on Daily Awards, please don't click on mine 'til after the Sunday rollover. I've got a couple of the same photos there. Those pesky ethics :-) Realize most or all of you have probably already voted, but definitely want to err on the side of caution. Thanks!

Hey xianart, make sure you get some electrolytes into you (ie Gatorade, sports drinks). Poor you, the flu is miserable. Hope you kick it soon!

Hi again .... damn I hate it when it's just me posting stuff...

Went to the Rick Dees site but couldn't find the top 50 for 2006, just the current top 40. Will have to go with an idea from the song titles posted in the thread suggesting the Rick Dees challenge...*sigh*

Is it just me, or are most of those song titles lame? I'm having trouble coming up with any ideas, and I'll admit I don't even know what the vast majority of these songs sound like.

Between the song titles and BW portrait, it isn't much of a choice. I agree about the song titles. C,mon "The hips don't lie", what kind of song title is that?

All I know about that song and the artist is that Shakira likes to bellydance. Hope this helps!

C'mon folks! We're the out-of-the-boxers, remember? Don't go with the tide and shoot yet another B&W portrait. There are already 115 entries and it doesn't close until Tuesday!

How cool would it be if 20 of the 100 song title entries were team suckers?

Here's the first idea to pop into my head for the first several titles. Took me 2 minutes to type this, with about 3 seconds of looking at each title and then typing my idea. Use as you like. :)

50 - Black Eyed Peas - My Humps
Make someone up like the Hunchback of Notre Dame

49 - Kanye West (f/Jamie Foxx) - Gold Digger
Dig a hole. Stand in it. Hold up something golden and smile big (or laugh maniacally)

48 - Justin Timberlake - My Love
Show two older people holding hands, walking away from the camera.

47 - Saving Jane - Girl Next Door
Find a neighborhood girl, maybe 15 or 16, and shoot her twirling.

46 - T-Pain - Iâ��m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)
Find someone willing to pose (including you) lookin' smokin' hot. It's the attitude, not the looks!

45 - Mariah Carey - Donâ��t Forget About Us
Show someone looking wistfully at a cracked, sepia-toned old photo. Make one if you have to.

44 - Pussycat Dolls - Beep
Show a driver slamming down on the horn looking angry.

43 - Bubba Sparxxx - Ms. New Booty
New boots or new jeans. Your choice.

42 - Sean Paul - (When You Gonna)Give It Up To Me
Candles (or firelight), two silhouettes kissing.

41 - Eminem f/ Nate Dogg - Shake That
Dance, baby! Look at Bec's excellent examples: here and here

Copy shamelessly.

There's 10 ideas. And you can even use advanced editing. Now go shoot!

And Christian: please feel better. 12 hours of TV won't hurt anything, but they'll give you the chance to be well enough when it really matters.

Jeff, that's so odd...that's exactly what I thought of for My Humps. Just kidding. Does anyone have a camel I can borrow? LOL.

LOL, that's what I posted in another thread. I was going to the zoo to shoot the camels, but they sent them away for the winter.

01/06/2007 12:40:27 PM · #445

BTW, is anyone else in Procrastination? I've got a seriously OOB entry for that one. People will love it or hate it. Luckily Team Suck tends to go for the OOB stuff, so I can probably at least count on a few decent votes from the Team. So far, only 50 entries - Team Suck could rule this challenge!

I think I actually saw your post about that, as it is ringing a bell. Too bad they didn't send the camels down here to Charleston, SC. It's about 80 degrees today. No lie.

My usual pattern is to think all week and shoot the day it's due. I LIVE the challenge theme. I should just do a self-portrait. ;)

Heck it was even relatively warm in Germany today - like upper 40s (F) or so!

And my dad pointed out that they're saying this is the warmest it's been since 1700 something - which means it was actually warmer then and they didn't even have engines and stuff. :-)
