Wow. Just wow.

Tree, So someone at my company organized a group event for a Giants came on a Friday night in April. I think it's the 27th, I'll double check. I bought you a ticket in case you are able to come. It's the cheap seats but should still be fun. LOL that Clay made an impression on the first episode. I'm not surprised!

Hey I'm out here and enjoying reading. It's been a bear of a week for me though. So Dee Snyder is really going to do a broadway album or is this some sort of running gag. It seems a little bizarre.

I'm not into country music either but I enjoyed America the Beautiful and also watched The Voice for the first time where he is a judge and there's just something sweet about that Blake guy.

I didn't win any of my squares either. That damn safety at the start of the game through everything off. Kinda boring for a superbowl game. But at least it was close. Didn't have a horse in the race but kinda happy for Eli.

The girl in it is Melanie, winner of X Factor US. Pretty funny commercial. Kelly did great on the anthem. I know the anthem is normally lip synced but the half time show should be live. Call me disappointed on that one.

Hey my first job was at KFC. I wanted to quit after the first day LOL. ButI kept it junior and senior year of high school. Nice pics. Tree your frustrations are kinda entertaining. Try a different browser. I've been using Firefox for years and suddenly I started having all sorts of problems. I finally switched over to Chrome and I like it a lot.

too funny.... but I'd change dating to mothering. ha ha

bwah Fear. I did my taxes and already have my refund check. I seem to be on the wrong coast for Clay these days. Wonder if those tickets come with airfare and a room LOL. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Hope I can make some money in my super bowl pool I like it because everytime the score changes someone wins. I have 2 good squares!

I agree with Jamar that it was pretty mild what Clay said. But it doesn't really take much in this fandom. I understand where Bottle is coming from as well. But I also think Clay has done a great job holding his tongue all these years. Mostly I think about when he came out and how he let his own fan club board be used for people to say whatever they wanted to say. I could NEVER have done that. When he has said what's on his mind, funny enough, it's when I respect him most. So was Clay responding to what people were saying on his fan club board or twitter? Even if I were deeply disappointed in his projects, I don't think I could ever say it to his face. Seems so rude. These days I am happy and satisfied just reading here. So it feels different from those heady early years for me. I think the most important thing for Clay right now, is not to satisfy all of us, who despite what we say are still here all these years later. And from what I could see on my quick look around the boards (haven't done that in years) it's the same old same old put any gate in the box here. It's boring. It's time Clay expands beyond us. I hope he can accomplish that with his weekly exposure. Maybe it won't help his singing career but hopefully it will open up some more opportunities for him. Ok something has been bothering me. Has Reese Witherspoon gotten plastic surgery. Has her chin always been so pointy? ha ha.

Looks like Twitter is the double edged sword I thought it would be. I don't care if he says what's on his mind. Everybody else does. I understand that people want new. I really do. But I think if Clay wasn't doing CA we wouldn't' be getting anything at all right now let alone something new. What they are trying to do is having something for people to buy if they rediscover him during this show. He's going to be on a tv every weeks for months and they are ready to take advantage of that. I don't think it's really a "career" move or something for us. It's something to grab back people who liked him on Idol and that's all.

Too bad about Paula. She was the best thing about X-Factor. I can't believe how lucid she was. Too bad Simon couldn't fire himself. I made it about 6 weeks in before tuning out. Clay needs sto work on his clack taking skills LOL.

So Celebrity Apprentice airs at 9pm? I'm so into TGW right now and now it's off for 3 damn weeks. I hate when they do this. They air at the same time I think. I'm not a Nielson family so it doesn't matter what I watch I guess but I'm more concerned about it staying on the air. CA can fall off the map after this season for all I care. And since they have this season in the can there is no chance they won't air it. ha ha. Ooh wish I could go on that cruise. Been wanting to do an Alaskan cruise for a long time now. Good luck finding a roomie Lotus.

Lucky how on earth do you watch figure skating. My heart breaks every time somebody falls on their ass. Especially when you know how hard they work and how bad they want it.

Well it's smart to take advantage of the CA appearance. Hope he finds a new audience. A Clay tour is always a fun experience. Haven't been to a dull concert yet. Not sure if one is in the works but I look forward to it. I have vacation time and trying to figure out how to use it.

Clay has taken to twitter like a duck to water.

Clay's watching Homeland? Finally we have something in common tv wise ha ha.

My mom's blood sugar level spiked to over 700. Of course they kept her to bring that down to normal levels. I have this feeling that she can't be responsible for taking her medicine anymore. So I am going to have to take that over and set up all of her medicine for the week.

Sorry I wasn't around to commiserate Treenuts. I spent the afternoon in the E.R. with my mom hitting refresh on my cell phone and shouting out the score to the other patient in the room.

It's not the d-fence we need to worry about LOL. Yes it's exciting. I didn't expect them to win a playoff game let alone so many regular season games. Seems you have all the essentials! Superbowl is so close yet so far!!

I'd appreciate any report on the Clay mentions in that interview. It's so COOOOOOOLD!

I didn't care about the left or right hands last night. I couldn't work because I need Wiki to do my google job for my current project. LOL. I was working away when that blackout happened. Anyway..found this quite by accident. Sorry if it's been posted already. http://www.hollywood...ay-aiken-282899 The relevant parts: With season 11 upon us, The Hollywood Reporter looks back at some of the defining moments that shaped the show we know today. 1. Runner-up Clay Aiken Outsells Winner Ruben Studdard Season two was all about surprises, but who could have predicted that the fashion-challenged Clay Aiken would not only survive elimination but rise all the way to the top two? On finale night, 24 million votes were cast, but Studdard squeaked through, besting Aiken by just 134,000. Soon after, Idol fans started voting with their wallets, and Aiken's Measure of a Man CD debuted at no. 1 with 613,000 copies sold in its first week out, easily outselling Studdard's debut, Soulful, which tallied 400,000. Aiken's retail victory immediately set a goal and standard for futureIdol contestants that didn't get the celebratory shower of confetti, and it put in place the oft-repeated consolation, "You don't have to win to be a winner."

ha ha..well I'm watching for the awards but I did see a new commercial that featured Clay. How on earth did Kelsey Grammar win best actor. He is so over the top in the horrific Boss. Critics love it for some reason. I honestly don't know why?

Barely breathing. I think I'm still in shock!

I'm not sure how good the ratings are for the Grammy Awards are these days but starting a new show against it probably wasn't a good idea. Happy Saturday. Go Niners!!
