Scarlett

HBD, cindilu2!!!

Thanks for all the help, advice and great intentions. I was interested in this from an AI standpoint -- with the right product, one can create mirrors, run the right number of spiders at the right time of day, configure them to exhibit fairly accurate behavior... build complete make-believe worlds. If anyone wants to "talk" to A.L.I.C.E. (or Captain Kirk or God), the Alice Foundation blog is an interesting site. BTW, the Turing Test for measuring a machine's "intelligence" was named after the famed mathematician Alan Turing who is also an important figure in GLBT history.

Thanks, Fear! *we had one in March or April one year... just sayin' * BTW, the package you sent arrived today -- Eeeeee! They're beautiful. Thanks again! Wow, Feb 9? That's a good date. Do you think we'll be hearing the first single in January?

A week ago we were just about to get into the main room, people were mingling, examining the silent auction items, anticipating... I know we have lots of Clack but ... *sniff* I wish we could do it all over again. Is it too much to ask for a Gala every week?

(with apologies to aikim) 5 Days since the Gala and still giddy! 8 Hours since I last heard MR -- way too long! i was at work ... but will be fixed in 5 seconds! Happy Birthday to all celebrating! Everyone have a great evening!

Swoon River says it all!

what joy to see him time flew by on golden notes moon river echoes ETA: I think I have the bug... miles and miles away the wind still whispers his voice sharing the same moon ETAA: Thanks for the good wishes, jmh!

I can't find the thread title nominations thread but "Clay Aiken: Inner Cool" (tm:keepingfaith) should be there. (merrieeee, would you second? thx!) ETA: Thanks, ldyj!

Squeeee!!! Where did that come from and are there any more?!!! *pretty please?* Thanks for the link, ldyj!!!

I loved ALL the songs from last weekend including GOG that seems so forlorn right now since everyone is swooning over MR & MEAY. *pats GOG and ALAWH* *wonders if he'll sing GOG at the next Gala or GFI and keeps fingers crossed*

Scarlett, were any of those folks wearing glasses and had spikey hair? Ha! Yes, and I had to console him because he was so disappointed to hear that you weren't coming...

What? Is she not sure if she really recorded or what, lol? In anycase, by the time it all rolls in, Luckiest1-Goldarngirl productions oughta have TONS of Gala footage to make a Gala montage from! :thumbup: Scarlett sweetie? Can we get a sample, lol? Moonriver perhaps? Yes, we both did. I'm sending this to Eva right now but here's a sample (now could you please answer my 20 questions question, please?) Moon River mp3 - 7MB ETA: Ooops, my bad. I guess you answered them all this pm. ETAA: *waves to keepingfaith* Some folks were wanting to say hi to you this weekend! EYATA: *waves wildly to Caro too!* Thanks!

I already had the cheeseburger twice during my LA flights last September (the 2nd one by hunger, not choice)... & knowing that In-N-Out had that beat by a mile, I was willing to go with the unknown (i.e. anything but)... and Continental had surprised me before with a great shrimp & balsamic salad that they served on the Florida routes during the JNT '06 season (yes, I flew 3 times to Florida in 4 days and had it all 3 times) Uh-uh. I don't watch Top Chef. My loyalty is with Takeshi Kaga and even gave up that show after his departure. *sniff* Ooops, did I use up 2 slots on page 69?

ok... {{{justclay12}}} and {{{canfly}}}!!! :thbighug-1: So good to see you both!!! canfly, you didn't miss a party -- it was just a couple of us who would rather re-listen than sleep. (this is not yet my recap -- I know I met and talked to so many more... just giving justclay a poke since I swung by at the right time)

HBD, ClayIzzaQT!!! (I'm sorry that our conversation was cut short today and I hope to see you again sometime soon!)

Does something spurt out of it? Have you (canfly) or any other member of the fandom (afayk of course) ever sucked one in public?

You know a weekend was awesomely spectacular when on Sunday evening we're still in such a stupor that it affects our usual superior abilities in math, sports trivia and money management. ps. couchie, K only recalls the time when someone in an elevator mistook her for Angela ("You were wonderful! So, what's it like to perform with Clay Aiken?")

ldyj, wish you'd come to our room with us. We just replayed Moon River and it killed us all over again. The wonderful... he sang every song that I wanted him to sing The fun... seeing everyone again after what seemed like ages The shmoopie... did I already say how wonderful Moon River was? *sighs in contentment* The sad... don't know when we'll hear him again until GFI The oh so sad... so if he doesn't have it, then we won't see the Miami shirt of clingy goodnes ever again The impressive... all the honorees and how we always impress our corporate champions with the love and support in entire room The very impressive... how well we did in a year when just about every non-profit is struggling -- Awesome!!! The cute... I won a set of pretty quilt squares The I wish... he'd remembered more of the lyrics of GOG, love that song and listen to it every day The I wonder... who was singing harmony with him during MEAY The happy... mimefan got audio of the entire evening (we're alternately playing our clack and each run leaves us too useless to do much else except hit the replay button) The forever... he still has us, completely and always will. *waves to everyone there, hope to see you at breakfast tomorrow!!!*

I'm so sorry to hear the news... {{{Clay and family}}} “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” -- Rabindranath Tagore

Spoilered Clue: Spoilered Songs: Song1 - Song2 -

WUT? Pods? Huh? I have no idea what you're referencing cuz I can't retain any info for longer than a couple of hours, lol. Oh, there are machies that make different flavors of coffee & tea, based on the little pods that you insert into them. I must have maxed out my caffeine limit since I now have this huge headache (and I've never been one who gets them) Any remedies? ETA:it's probably the monitor or the external light...

Thanks for the well-wishes on my office adventures. Canfly, I didn't keep count but next time I'll keep those empty pods, though I hope there is no next time!!! Just a few more items to finish up this pm and hopefully I'll be free of these late hours for at least a few weeks. :big hug: {{{Hugs to all}}} :large-smiley-003: On topic:

Hope you don't mind my borrowing this, Caro! I haven't seen your blog yet since I didn't quite make it home.... but tonight!!!

Not in here, though my chair's pretty comfy. I don't think I'd like to sleep anyways -- I think I could find a couch if I really wanted one but it'd be on another floor. I don't even want to leave my office at this point (but wonders about needing to go to the restroom later). Thx again! eta -- maybe I should go now, before I get totally spooked... tmi, i know...

HBD, ldyj!!! *looks at the time, eeep! -- it's probably best to stay over again, my tank's almost empty and I don't want to run out on my way home...* ETA: cf, I don't think US-59 is a good place to get gas at 1 am, but thanks for the advice and, uh, let's just call it a gentle push!
