  1. Houston chickies, I understand your lust for the hot spot capabilities but (KAndre possesively strokes her Nexus), my last software upgrade gave me hot spot capabilities for 8 devices...you and Clay can have Apple - Android is my baby now! Rather then having to buy the latest and greatest hardware, software upgrades are the bomb! Though I admit I am eyeing the physical keyboard of the latest myTouch... This really has not been my summer (though I have been following y'all with interest and envy)...I am hoarding my hydrocodone for the Florida 3-fer! Fear, you are so totally me. I guess I never got that involved with Reed since Clay himself never said anything about the dude that I can recall. Clay's sense of privacy seems so like mine (in other words, he doesn't tell the whole world shit if he can help it) and Reed always seems so out there, telling all his (Reed's) business...I know I couldn't deal.
  2. Hmmmm...I was skimming the NYT and noticed that Ringo Starr is turning 70 today, and said to myself, "Damn." Hell, he's only three years younger than my mother. I have to admire the man for his longevity...and look forward to celebrating Clay's 70th...we won't mention how old I'll be telling people I am.
  3. Catching up this weekend will be good! Man, we are falling apart, aren't we? I just got back from my new ENT (of whom I am very fond already, and the fact he is fairly hot helps with that). It's Dr. Pasha (if you're in Houston, he makes the "Bubble Guy" allergy commercials. After seeing the sad bubble man (and yes, I should be ashamed of picking a doctor because of his TV commercial, but I have no shame), and realizing I've been taking Zyrtec and Claritin and Benadryl and every other OTC allergy/sinus thing known to mankind (including a variety of neti pots, because I never remember where I put the damn thing) for years now, and have chronic sinusitis but have never actually been tested for allergies (even though I'll been going to another ENT for years), I show up in Dr. P's office, don't have to wait long, and he is nicely hot. Then he looks up my nose. Believe it or not, not one of the freakin' doctors I have been to in all this years have actually, like, looked up my goddam nose. Dr. Pasha is mildly disturbed at the amount of swelling and inflammation (and this is one of my GOOD days) - he has his nurse spray crap in my nostril so he can use the scope and sez, "let's do some skin tests". The nurse stabs me with eleventy-billion little pinpicks and considering my tendency toward hypochrondria, even I can tell nothing's happening. He sez, "well, we'll do the titration test anyhoo, but it doesn't look like allergies, let's get the scope up your nose and HOLY HOLLYHOCKS, GIRL...how have you been breathing!?!?!" The caps were all mine as his scope is on an LCD screen and I can see giant inflamed turbinates and big ol' polyps too! AND I actually have a deviated septum! Surgery is in my immediate future again. But at least I won't be walking on it. And yes, I will be taking concerts in account for the timing.
  4. I like it - it's very "Clay" to me. He makes it sound easier than it is, with a simply pretty tone to his voice.
  5. A little off the wall - I like John Waters a lot - he is one of the most freakishly entertaining dudes of this century...and this recent quote spoke to me about Clay's career (especially with his singing of Misty) in this article: I enjoy the promo while it's going on, but if Clay wants to be a later-day Johnny Mathis - I can live with that.
  6. KAndre looks around, sees the comments about the fanagers, shrugs, and goes... Happy, happy! Joy, joy! and adds the Kitty Cat dance for good measure All I have to say to any fanagers and bitter bitches enraged over Clay's direction...well, Mr. Clay Aiken has more of a music career than they ever could, even if you spotted them Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Garth Brooks and Beethoven. Confession time: The end of Clay's arrangement to UM (the "airplane" stuff) doesn't do it for me. I love the hell out of it up until that point - but the Righteous Brothers and AI Clay is just better for me. But ya know what? This album is a cohesive whole to me, and in general, I like it simply because Clay Aiken and his voice is one of my favorite artists ever. And I have never been one to listen to entire albums in order. It's like a movie soundtrack for me.
  7. OK, that's two goddam hours I'll never get back. They brought every frickin body back from the other season, a bunch of psychos...and NO GODDAM CLAY. I don't CARE who wins AI - I WANTED TO SEE FRICKIN CLAY! Though Darryl Hall has held up decently in looks (not so much voice) - Christina A. made the finalists sound like dog poo - I kept my fingers crossed that Bret Michaels wouldn't actually drop dead on stage and Janet looked good. Feh.
  8. Oh, I didn't like the Stones - I had just heard about them - right now, I couldn't tell you the names of the guys in the band beyond Mick and the Cryptkeeper...and the only songs I know are "Jumping Jack Flash" (from the movie with Whoopie) and "Beast of Burden" (because my sister liked it and played the fuck out of it). I don't think I actually know any other Stones songs. Well, I might, but don't know if the Stones sang them... Clay is such a dude...we will be seeing those damn shorts until sometime in 2030...
  9. It could be worse - at least I had a faint idea of who the Beatles were in '69 - the Rolling Stones didn't enter my consciousness as a group until the mid 70's. I have to admit, I was totally underwhelmed with the final two on AI yesterday. And yet, I will sporadically watch AI in hopes that Clay's shiny red head (I do like his current hair color) will pop up. We're gonna pretend no one can smut from that comment, right? Right. Nobody said anything about Newsweek saying Clay was an music icon! Looking at those candid leg shots - I have to say, occasionally I miss orange Clay.
  10. Look at my hairy boyfriend! Heh. I don't know if it's Decca, or Clay's publicist or the man himself, but there seems to be a lot of subtle praise out there...from Newsweek's article about the going-away of Simon Cowell: Our biggest music icons, huh? And KF, while Paul was 20 in '69 - I was, ahem, eight, and he didn't run around acting like a monkey (which all FOUR of the Monkees did lots! Including monkey sounds! I'm sure he would have if he knew how cool it was.) My favorite Beatle song at the time was "Yellow Submarine" and as far as I knew, it was actually about a Yellow Submarine! Of course, now I look at pictures of him in '69 and he looks like a high schooler...
  11. Nah, I realize now they probably are the same age - but in the 60's for me, the Beatles were on stuff like Sullivan and Dick Clark that people talked about but I hadn't seen, which meant it was eons ago - stuff grownups and teenagers watched...the Monkees were on Saturday morning on stuff I watched right then. Actually, I think by the time I actually noticed the Beatles, which would have been really late 60's or early 70's they seemed to be breaking up or in Wings already. They just never felt like a "young" group to me. As for "young", I think Clay is now old enough that I can hang up my cougar status!
  12. Oh man, the Beatles were always sort of ...like, old! Not like the Monkees. Or Keith Partridge. Or Michael Jackson. But as long as we have some Beatle songs I actually know most of the words too, it'll be good.
  13. You thought BJ was too old? You heathen! Of course, I don't think I ever saw him live but on the radio he sounded young! I am being good (of course, I make love to GMA Suspicious Minds repeatedly as a holder...I just hate iTunes so very much...
  14. People's feelings are valid, no matter what they are...and I mean "valid" in the sense of being authentic and they are what they are...but doesn't necessarily make them right, or unchangeable or too special to be disagreed with. It's that whole communication on a message board thing, if you say something, someone's going to agree or disagree. I admit, if someone says "I want to feel different than how I'm feeling at the moment", my tendency is to provide what I consider to be good reasons to change that feeling. My bad. Still don't see the point in "worrying".
  15. Well, I don't think he's dead, frankly... I just don't understand what the worry accomplishes besides stressing y'all out. The worry thing won't make him "talk" to us, I don't see how it could actually hurt him, and it doesn't change anything. If it's something bad or good, what will the worrying do? Like the Great Drought of '04 (or '06 or '08 or whenever the hell it was), all the worry in the world didn't change anything. Happy happy joy joy works for me!
  16. I like that Best Buy understands the fandom...they have a great financing offer for TnT! So, when are we doing the listening party? Although I have to confess, Linda Eder just doesn't do it for me...not sure why...not live, and not on the snippet. I really wish it was just Clay.
  17. I am running on empty...but had to look at my totally edible boyfriend. For me, it says so much - I looked at the new clip, felt myself up in joy that I was there and knowing gleefully that most of the whole thing will be in my hot little hand shortly (and trying not to whine about what won't be) and for some reason I went here, just like I normally do from time to time...and dear lord, I still love that teen pop star (and then, he really was)...dorkilicious as he was. He was a cool, crisp, refreshing lemonade on a hot day...and he was good. Then I watched this, and said to myself, there's my Dom PĂ©rignon for at night, when I'm in a certain mood... I really love the artist that is one Clay Aiken...
  18. San Diego is sweet...a gorgeous day and a fair amount of exhaustion upon which I will blame me getting on a Metrolink train to San Bernadino instead of the Amtrak to San Diego. They are not at all close together. The leather jacket looks like caramel, which of course leads to me eating him up.
  19. A quick note: Occasionally I have bad ideas. You people need to stop me. Like when I decide to do a circle tour of Oahu, on a scooter, and don't bother to check the weather forecast.
  20. Hawaiian shave ice is the Clay Aiken of frozen desserts. Just sayin'. And I most certainly ate it all up the other day!
  21. Eat him up. I wanna EAT HIM UP! I like this photog...I am forgiving Hawaii today. It is warm and gorgeous and the moped and I are working it. Off to Pearl Harbor! As for the comment, some people find lots of things offensive and the line varies from person to person. I personally don't see it on the level of racial, ethnic or sexual slur, which are about the only things I think should be censorable. And yes, sometimes it gets to the point of "nevermind some people find it offensive" (which I find strongly passive aggressive) You let people know you don't like it. They can take it into consideration as they post, and everyone here is capable of scrolling. You did let us know that some find it offensive. OK. I reaffirmed that you knew that some people don't and you admitted that they didn't mean to be. As we have said here, it helps everyone if we give people the benefit of the doubt.
  22. damn, I lost a post. Clay is clearly listening to all my preferences. Y'all can all express your admiration of the scruffy, unshaven, 10-year old badly fitting Wal-Mart cargo short and mandals - I'll take Cary Grant Clay in any shape, form, fashion, position, etc. etc. etc. And he looked red-headed in those pictures, and y'all also know the darker Clay's hair gets, the hotter he becomes. PO abandoned me for this trip. And y'all might not believe this but Honolulu so far hasn't actually been really warm. Not sayin' its cold, but definitely not hot. Its barely 5 in the morning here. In another 3 hours, I'm going to rent a moped and hunt up a goddamn jacket. It is freakishly pretty though. Bringing the funny is one of the perks of the board. And while people can express personal dislike of certain phrases {especially ones that aren't really derogatory in most contexts, any more than asking if someone is really married, really straight, really not a chubby chaser, when the expression is clearly an expression of sexual interest) or things, or entities or even people (I confess, I don't like that Kate plus 8 person mainly because her "dancing" makes Clay look like Baryshnikov and the way she freakin' whined like a bottle of cabernet), let's not inhibit others expressing themselves as well.
  23. Man, he looks TASTY! Well, people, I am off to the Hawaiian islands for a few days! And San Diego. And Portland. It's all PerusingOne's fault.
  24. My proletariat self is about two calls away from rising up against the pigdog...I swear, his mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries!
  25. KAndre temporarily halts her hunt for the Fortress of Solitude...killing two birds with one stone... Market chill pills my butt...put it in the water like flouride! Hell, I think Clay/Decca is going the slow steady burn route...a flurry of notice when it drops...reminders whenever the PBS thing plays...crazy clever fans You-tubing every song...selling between 5-10,000 each week for weeks on end. Hell, let him go on AI and take his bite out of the bleeding carcass...that's why me 'n Clay are carnivores!
