Clayzy

Random aside: I'm going to throttle my cat... she keeps getting up onto tables and shoving things until they fall off! Clay connection? Um... Clay would be terrified of her and unable to discipline her for me?

Ooooh, travel bucket lists? I'd like to see Ireland. Maybe London too... I don't have a lot on a travel bucket list... I do have a bucket list though. *pause* I'll stop now. I saw Reed in the video! He was the first dancer, right?

OK, I think I might have had a very vivid dream or something... Is there a montage somewhere out there of a bunch of Clay's glory notes? SOT, BOTW, DSIAFCD, Solitaire, FIEKY, and AIW all with the glory notes snipped out made into a video? I might be adding or forgetting a couple of songs--or, seeing as how I can't find it, did I make the whole thing up in my mind? I feel kinda dumb...

Like, whoa, a birthday? Neato! Happy Birthday, Tribeca!!! I have entirely too much fun with fonts and colors... hee hee.

Money. Lots and lots of money. External hard drives would also be appreciated... ETA: Hot pockets wouldn't be bad either... I've become addicted lately. Yum.

*imagines a Clay Aiken dance remix* "If I was invis-uh-uh-uh-uh-ble, then I could just wa-a-a-tch you in your r-r-r-r-room..." Or would that be a techno remix? Eh. I don't know music--I just know I like Clay! I have no idea how these came to be (and even more scary, I don't know how the hell I remembered these), but if you can right-click and save, try this link from Clack Unlimited: IWCY and Invisible -- the dance mixes Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude... I actually think I like those better than the originals. *ducks* ETA: *facepalm* Sorry, cindilu2. I guess I need to look at the actual username and not just glance at the avatar when I'm talking to people, huh?

Well I don't know about Toshiba, but I would agree with your brother. Seagate and Western Digital have a really good reputation and if (heavens forbid) they fail there is a 5 year warrantee on them. Like you said you get what you pay for. I have noticed, though that harddrives are coming down in price. They used to be $1 per gig now they are much much less. Maybe just keep your eye out for a sale. Thanks, goldarngirl. My brother kept suggesting TB hard drives too me, which was way overkill. Mostly I'm just going to be storing my assorted bits of Clack, so I've been wrestling with the idea of going cheap with a small 160 GB Toshiba for around $50 or trying to think long term and go with the 500 GB Western Digital for around $75... I'm leaning towards the Western Digital, even though I kind of doubt I'll use up that much space. I'm trying to convince my mother to split the cost with me and I'll probably back up all of our vacation photos and videos for her if she does... The downside to the Western Digital is it will have to be shipped to me, meaning I'll have to delay sending my computer off to be repaired until I get the hard drive... >_> Ugh. This is so not the time for me to be having these issues... ETA: In another totally random aside brought on by my iPod offering up DIAFCD to me, does anyone know if there's a story behind Clay and "Baby, that's a fact" in DSIAFCD? I was watching a video where he dropped his voice real deep when he sang it... and everybody screamed. It was funny, but I was a little lost. EATA: Hee, cindilu2 luckiest1! I'm typically a "bigger is better" (not smutting either!) kind of person... unless of course I'm paying for it! Why, yes, I am a tightwad... why do you ask?

Probably the point. No matter, Clay's a smexy beast no matter what... although I was rooting for an AIW-ish hair cover.

I saw a number of "The Very Best of" CDs with similar covers, so I think it is real.

The CD cover is MOAM-era pictures... pretty, but... At least I think those are MOAM-age pictures... I'm not good at timing pictures. ETA: Hmm, that didn't work... EATA: This was the link to the CD cover: Pretty piccy, hopefully Dangit. EYATA: Here's the link to the page: *crosses fingers* Heh, I'm slow!

Hopefully including a video of his Bills, Bills, Bills dance.

Personally, since we might be listening to Clay sing the phonebook (or the Invisionfree Terms of Service... ya never know!) I wouldn't mind having a Mongolian polka track on there!

*hides* I sorry! I just happily bop along in my cluelessness until someone goes "ARGH, why'd you bring THAT up???" and then I make frightened noises and duck. :o Heh. Hey! A gerbil needs a good workout now and then, you know! (I do, I owned a zillion, remember? ) If you don't let it get a good workout, it'll get cranky and bite you! ETA: wandacleo--HAH! I was wondering if anyone was going to bring that up... I had all sorts of ideas about what the VERY BEST of Clay Aiken might be... and then ran into trouble wondering how they were going to package it. Hee hee hee.

I liked reading that thing about how RCA never really understood Clay... I used to wonder why the TITN video was such a piece of crap--I mean, I love that song, but the video... First time I watched I was left with an enormous WTF!? They tried to make an angsty video to a victory song! Blegh. I've always liked the video for The Way and didn't understand why they didn't do something similar with TITN--guess I understand a little better now. ETA: Can I count myself as a CT-mate too? I never saw anything particularly bitchy about y'all's posts. Then again, I tend to be hard to insult/recognize insult--which comes from me being a rather insulting person at times. Hey, if you wanna dish it out, you better be able to take it, right? EATA: Back to the RCA thing... does anyone else (who knows football, lol) kind of equate Clive Davis with Al Davis? Eeek! They aren't related, are they?

Oy. Totally O/T, but does anyone know if Toshiba is a good brand for external hard drives? With my computer going kaput a day ago, I'm looking into getting an external hard drive so that I can (hopefully) transfer all my stuff onto it before I send it in to be fixed. I asked my bro, the only person I know who knows computers, and he's recommending Western Digital and Seagate because of their warranties, but they seem a little pricey... (Get what you pay for, I know, but...) So I just thought I'd ask here for a little advice.

But whose phone book? For instance... his own, in which case it might have his number in it? Hee hee hee. If he's singing the phone book, I'm so there. Can you imagine? "Aaron, John (205) 555-5155.... la la la... "

Amazing! And we don't even know what's on the CD! What was that possible thread title again? No matter what, no matter where, if he's singing it, I'm there? It's more like, no matter what, no matter where, if it has his name on it, we'll buy it! ETA: I was wondering about the royalties thing myself, Liney23... But I would think no matter what, unless he's signed over his copyrights or whatever, they have to pay him something for using his songs--remastered or otherwise. But, of course, I have no real idea and it would depend on what sort of contracts he's signed.

Partial eat-age, I imagine... My family used to have a zillion gerbils when I was little (yeah... never get two gerbils and trust the pet store employee when he says that they're the same gender) and one of the females was rather nutty and sort of ate her babies. Came home from school one day, looked in on the babies and went... where's the other half of that baby? We had some cuddly gerbils and some mean ones. They were the devil to find if they ever got out of their cages. Unfortunately the sweetest one we ever had got out of his cage and found his way into a box fan. That was sad. Not to be all depressing or anything. :o

Interrupting WDC? I'm confused! (Happens a lot, unfortunately. )

Ok, I am finally getting around to uploading these mp3s to the media site, and I need to know which Minneapolis, as there were two nights. Dec 19th or Dec 20th? Oy. Dec. 19th. Sorry, I forgot there were two nights.

Ooooh, that's a great idea. What do you think clayzycoffin? <snip> *sigh* An hour ago, I would have said yes (even though SSTBTHW is probably my least-favorite song from ATDW) but now... Gackt! I hate my laptop sometimes. First, it was this strange little patch of pixels that died for absolutely no reason... and then revived... and now intermittently "die" and revive... Now I get an error message saying my computer's fans aren't working! Gary (I named my computer Gary... maybe that's why it's mad at me) wouldn't move past this page that said fan 1 and fan 2 weren't working so turn them off and check fan your out or something poorly written like that... AUGH!! *hunts for that disturbing GIF with the dude beating himself to death on the computer* It should just be a hardware problem... Of course, since I bought the computer off of woot.com, it only came with a 90-day warranty, so no warranty now. I'm going to take it to Best Buy tomorrow and see what they have to say... UGH, I hope it's a hardware problem that can be easily fixed without killing the contents of my computer--It's only twenty GBs or so of slowly-accumulated Clack, but I don't want to lose it... plus all my miscellaneous Clay pix... And I have a bunch of music I bought off of iTunes that isn't backed up--I know, my fault, I should have backed it up. I wish I had bought one of those external hard drives when they were on sale on Thanksgiving. I couldn't really afford them, but, eh. Hindsight's 20-20. Even more infuriating, I can't find the warranty/purchase info! GRR! I was so sure I left it in the computer box--where else would I put it? AGH. Anyway, my point was, as long as I can't use my own computer (I'm on my bro's old laptop now) I don't think I'll be able to do the Clack recs. ETA: Oh, and I must say I'm a little bit apprehensive about Clay and RCA parting ways... Not because I think RCA is this great company or whatever (being a fairly new fan, I really have no idea about the Clay/RCA relationship) but just because of the image issues with the split. I do like that it is being reported as a mutual decision, though, and not that he was dropped. That's much more positive.

Maybe a diversionary tactic? I don't know, but I can see this going south really fast...hope I am wrong. Clayzcoffin It wasn't a typo...that is what it is called over there...A Forum to talk about the Man...Clay Aiken...but I am glad I made you laugh! Kim Oh... Bwah! Well, it certainly made me laugh! Sorry, I guess I shouldn't admonish if I don't know what I'm talking about, huh?

We should start an FCA group on the F-book! ETA: Oh, aikim you have a hilarious typo--the Man Forum! I thought it meant the forum for the, ya know, Claydawgs or other male Clay fans! That would cut down on the number of replies, huh? EATA: Cindilu2 I kind of agree, but at the same time, I think it's good of Clay and shows how much he values his fans--some might be nasty to him, but he's still trying to keep the lines of communication open.

Your wish is my co--*thud*
