#59: Forget life -- It's CLAY time!

[merrieeee]

[Couch Tomato]

Thanks for the reminder..now that I have sound I'll get to work on the 60s medley.

I miss my ipod. It's dead. My itunes with all my clay stuff needs to be rescued from my dead desktop, sigh. Getting a new ipod is on my list..unfortunately it's like 5th right now. Maybe by the new year.

I'm going to Houston next week. I wish I could have taken the day off on Monday and spent the weekend there. I was so happy about the new systems were were going to but everything I hear tells me it will make the job MORE complicated not easier. Did I tell ya'll my mom is out of town for a month? She went to visit her boyfriend. LOL. Boy life sure has changed around here.

I'm so thrilled to see the foundation still moving along and helping and inspiring people to help.

And I think it's teling that I remember so many of Bottle's pepsi logos.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Good morning. I couldn't sleep thinking about the report I need to finish this weekend. You'd think I would dream about a Clay concert instead of numbers. Maybe if PBS or the OFC would send me my TnT tickets, I'd have better dreams.

Caro, I'm going to print out a few of those flyers you had the other day to give out at the gym and at work. Facebook doesn't seem to result in any responses to pleas. I love how they are reaching out to other groups such as the dragon site. I don't mind voting but I would like to see the project win this month finally.

I hope you all have a great, fun and productive day.

Still at #13, though, and unless we can move the needle, y'all are in for another month of this.

I attempted my first 'best of' montage last night. I've made vids before, but always video to another song, never trying to match video to audio. I have a whole new respect for goldarngirl and the magic that she does. This stuff is hard, y'all. Anyway... this is Both Sides Now with my 'fixed' audio.

38 Days until Clay's Birthday!

Everyone have a great day!

Hope everyone is already into an awesome weekend!

Caro, I'm going to print out a few of those fliers you had the other day to give out at the gym and at work. Facebook doesn't seem to result in any responses to pleas.

Fear, I'm so glad. I hope a lot of people do the same. Y'all would laugh at my attempts to convert PDF to JPEG so I could crop the flier. I definitely need to study the PDF format.

Last night when I finally uploaded the blog to the OFC, I added this question, which is now in the Carolina entry:

QUESTION:

What actions would you take if you knew the NIP would move into the top 10

only

if you were responsible for 100 votes today? Would you explain the mission and programs of the National Inclusion Project? How would you round up 100 votes?

I certainly hope we don't have to do this another month. I'm about out of ways to write about Pepsi Refresh. I'm going to send another round of emails to family, friends, student parents using one of the fliers (NIP or Halloween).

Don't know if y'all read the previous entry, but one of my eighth grade piano students taught me how to text on my ancient cellphone. He was definitely the "teacher" that day, and we are scheduling a makeup for his piano lesson.

Thank you for visiting and especially commenting in the Carolina blog. We are currently having a time with Google, which has been plugging older entries (10/9 and 10/11) of CANN and the Carolina site all week. Your hits and comments do help!

:clap: Beautiful montage, cindilu2! The visuals are amazing. I can't get enough of BSN, and I love that you edited out the tiny crack.

Have a special Saturday, all!

Beautiful cindilu. I'm going to send that to one of my son's ex girlfriends who is an interpreter for deaf students. Yes my son is still friends with all his exes, so I am too!

Thank you Fear, and Caro -

Here is a download if anybody wants.

Btw, Scarlett posted in the Carolina comments that she is taking fliers to the zoo near her church. Let's keep thinking outside the box and win the $50k for the Inclusion Project in October!

I was going to ask for this but you're already ahead of me. I can't wait to watch it. Thank you!!

You're welcome! Just FYI if you watch on youtube - it's an HQ file I uploaded so it might take a while to load.

[jmh123]

Thanks cindilu, can't wait to watch it!

While voting this am, I found that a non-Clay fan friend had posted this on Facebook. Not sure how to make it visible to my friends on Facebook, so I'll post it here. Only tangentially Clay related, but definitely worth watching:

.

ETA: figured out how to post on Facebook too.

I just sent out a massive mailing with the fliers attached to family, friends, associates, music students/parents, checked the spelling up one side and down the other, but switched two numbers in Pepsi.

A P.S. CORRECTION went out within seconds!

[bottlecap]

It's my own fault for not watching any Gala Clack besides Both Sides Now until tonight, but day-um, who knew this whole tongue interlude from It's Only Make Believe was just lying in wait for me?

[FearofH2O]

Leave it to bottlecap.

[ldyjocelyn]

cindi, verrrrry nice montage!

Oh man bottlecap -- it must be Christmas at your house tonight! You've been a good girl, haven't you?

Speaking of bottlecap...you all know her avatar....well, I spent time this afternoon rewatching Clay's appearance on Tyra's show from 2006. I still think that was one of Clay's best appearances ever. He looked amazing and he was funny and charming. It was nice to go back to that time....

So why the heck did my iPod decide to unsynch itself when it was supposed to be recharging yesterday? It was kind of upsetting to jam in my earbuds and spin the menu bar only to find there was no music listed. I'm sure it was nothing I did...

[ldyjocelyn]

I've had my iPod do things like that too. I sometimes think they have a mind of their own.

I've had my iPod do things like that too. I sometimes think they have a mind of their own.

I had my ipod for almost 3 years before I got my iMac. The first time I plugged it in to the iMac, it was like it had finally arrived on the home planet or something. Seriously....it synched faster and charged longer than it ever had before.

Just sayin'...
