Yuku free message boards

9 more days and i'm free!

well, i was reviewing some OTH eps and i think the next video is going to be 'haunted' instead of 'judas'. although, depending on how it goes, i might get to make them both this weekend! so exiciting and relaxing to have this sort of a creative outlet. i mean, i'm a better writer, but i think visual media is important too. plus, i and an old dear friend of mine are going to start work on a book project. i don't want to say too much as not to jinx it, but it will be non-fiction and if not truly, definitely based on true events. cross your fingers that it works out for us.

hmmm...random thought: "unique" needs no qualifier. something is either unique or it isn't. i don't know, it just bother me when i read "really unique" or "so unique", etc.

i listened to the new gavin degraw on tuesday. love it! i'm currently obsessed with 'she holds a key'. and he does say "a key" by the way.

i am also all about the new dolly parton, 'backwoods barbie'. and really, come on, 'jesus and gravity' song of the year! 'better get to livin' is also excellent.

and as always, i am obsessed with 'can i have a kiss'. only the coolest song of 2007. seriously though, i feel ten times cooler when i listen to that song. if the kc's new album has a song half as cool as that, it will be worth it.

listening to lots of great music lately. new and old. and rediscovering. but more about that some other time. gotta have something to talk about later!

and based on the nba playoffs thread in off topic, this is an unpopular opinion, but GO SPURS!!!!

well, that's it for now.

have a good one!

geez, i totally missed the chance to say...7 days. so, there, i said it. now it's 4 days and i'm home free.

today i got really overwhelmed or something. i don't know, i thought maybe i was having some sort of a panic attack. i was at work and i had difficulty breathing, i was lightheaded and i spoke incoherently. i was a mess, but i had to keep going. it took me like an hour and a half to come down from it after i got home. i was scared there for a minute that i was gonna have a heart attack or something, seriously. but i'm getting better now. my mom's taking me off the red meat though! boo.

i was just the real kind of stressed today and it was a really foreign feeling. so, yeah, please send good thoughts my way if you can.

so, no, i haven't had a chance to work much on any new videos or update-y type stuff. but i really will. i can't wait to have some fun. collecting money isn't as fun as i think one might think it should be. it's taxing.

today was the last pizza day we will ever serve at a school. the most important thing i've learned from pizza day is that ice is much colder on Fridays. this is a fact, try it out for yourself.

totally fun thing i discovered about yuku today. i found out that i can hide a thread. this is really exciting. if that was an option on ezboard, i never knew it. but i know it's an option on this one and that's exciting for me. that way i can make threads in parts and stuff over a couple of days and no one will see unfinished ones except for me and the admins. sweet! i'm having more fun than not on yuku.

GO SPURS!!!!

boo that Aliens in America and Carpoolers are cancelled.

what else can i bore you with? ummm, well, i guess that's it for now. have a good weekend and don't be afraid to comment. please, i wanna hear from those who are viewing the threads. even if it's just to say, "i read it," or "you suck, please stop!" anything, i'm begging you here. even comment on youtube if you can. if you don't like the vid, say so. if you like it, say so. ok, begging over. i'm gonna go back to checking up on entertainment news and writing a really important email that will hopefully be instrumental in alleviating some of the pressure that i'm feeling causing difficulty to breathe.

didn't the kc look so adorable in those koi photos? i just love her.

if i had a radio station...today's 10 song playlist...

1. can i have a kiss (the kc)
   
2. where the white boys dance (the killers)
3. set the fire to the third bar (snow patrol ft. martha wainwright)
4. pocketful of sunshine (natasha bedingfield)
5. inside out (eve 6)
6. feel this (bethany joy galeotti ft. enation)
7. apologies (grace potter & the nocturnals)
8. always in love (graham colton)
9. wild world (cat stevens)
10. always be my baby (david cook)

song you probably haven't heard but should...today's song is...

song: nothin' 'bout memphis
artist: trisha yearwood
writer(s): jessi alexander, tommy lee james
album: heaven, heartache and the power of love
genre: country
why download?: put the fact that you don't like "country" music aside. this song is from the best album of trisha's career and in my opinion one of the best albums released this year period. a truly great country ballad, the kind of which they just really don't make anymore. witness, what it's like to go from a whisper to a roar and back again as trisha yearwood remains one of the best female singers to ever live in the world. and not to knock underwood, but this really is who she tries to sound like, or at least wishes she could. again, this is a quality country song, sung by a top tier singer that will help you understand why the country genre is still important.

comments on the comments time!...

from kellysmyidol:

edit to add, Just watch your "haunted" and "maybe" videos, and LOVED them both. I never watched that show before, but, totally understood the story with the song. Great job Piper!!

thank you! and i'm glad you were able to follow the storyline w/o having seen the show. kelly's music really does allow for that, but i was still concerned about it not making sense to some. that's mainly why i have a set-up scene too. i'm glad that it did make sense!

from emilis:

Thanks Moms, for the heads up about this Joint. I thought it died for a couple of months.

Love the blog, blogs are love. Loving the videos, too. Not a OTH fan, I don't think it appeals to the british auidence as much, though it is played here.

i was constantly surprised everyday i visited the board the corner was still here. thanks admins! and doesn't appeal to a british audience?! haha, i don't think it really appeals to an american audience either (i just love bethany joy and the show is so crazy ridiculous that it keeps me entertained). but it got a 6th season! thanks for watching the vids!

from NJKellyFan:

Hi Piper - I'm a long-time Expresser but have never explored your corner (though I've seen you in other places). I know, bad fan

from reneforkelly:

I too am a long time expresser who hasn't checked in on your corner. I'll catch up soon

hello, i've seen ya'll posting around too. it's ok, that you've never explored the corner. i haven't updated much in a while, but i am going to get back into it for sure. i still need to go and fix links. i hope you enjoy!

from maadx:

YAYYYY... you're back!!! i love your stuff!!!

from CentTxGrendel:

Glad to see you back on here Piper. I love your sense of humor.

thanks guys! i'm glad to be back. haven't had much of a sense of humor on most days lately, but it's coming back!

from MATatH20:

Love reading your stuff Piper. Things are a bit slow right now but I'm sure once the new c-d comes out, you'll have plenty to say!

thanks! yeah, things've been slow and i can't wait for new music! i always have lots to say though and now i'm getting more and more time to say it. i'm a little behind the times, but it's always fun to look back on a great record like 'my december', right?

from okmoms12:

OK I remembered my password to You Tube and commented on this video:

Naley Acting Like They're Gonna Break - Up: The Music Video

sweet! i got your comments. thanks, you're awesome! and i'm really happy that you love and watch the show and that Naley is a favorite. i was actually wondering whether or not you watched the show when i came up with the idea. i was really hoping you did even though it was a long shot because a lot of people that i know in real life have never even heard of it! oh, and as a sidenote, your avatar is interesting, what is it of?

ok, one day i may add exclusive content to the blog in the profile page. just because, ya know? may as well utilise yuku to the fullest. well, until it changes into a completely different board, of course. how crazy is that? only one board per an album! j/k, sort of...

alright, that about covers it for now. thanks everyone for reading. off to work on more stuff for y'all to enjoy!

kelly! kelly! kelly! haha

hello, just wanted to quickly say that i reimagined/recolored the 'judas' video. it's easy to see and i added a few more scenes that led to a bit of a different ending.

i might make one or two more videos and then won't make anymore for awhile. i want to wait to get S5 on dvd first for a few songs for sure.

alrighty, any and all feedback is much appreciated. thank you!

laters,

ok, i'm going to really get serious. i mean it this time. after a few rough days, it's really time to stop denying the creative portion of my brain. hopefully i still have some readers. i imagine people roll their eyes and cry b.s. everytime i post, including me. but it's time to get stuff past the thoughts and into reality. i am going to be having various blogs to cover various subjects. this specific "blog" will be mainly for P. Corner news of course. i am starting a different one @ blogger.com for entertainment reviews (books, movies, concerts, music, etc). it isn't up and running yet, but i'll post the link when it is. and the blog on my express yuku account will no longer be a duplicate of this one. i haven't decided what it will be about yet, but it will be good. if you have any suggestions, let me know. i'm trying to decide whether or not i will use that one for book reviews or for random poetry and short stories that i write that will help me write a novel that i have in mind as well as a comic book. also, to discuss certain concepts and ideas to flesh out some stuff for those things as well. i would really love ya'll's take/feedback on stuff like that. i don't know, we'll see. it'll be fun and good reading, whatever it is.

as far as deadlines go...on September 30 i will post a performance guide. so please check that out when i post it. comments are always welcome.

no videos in the near future still. i have so many ideas, but still not able to execute them. really bummed. once i get the memory problem worked out, expect a slew of them! thanks to the peeps in the technical help thread, my harddrive is up and running perfectly.

i might revamp the 'download' thread.

in the mean time, be sure and check out...

music:
song- 'johnny and june' by heidi newfield
album- 'only by the night' by kings of leon

movies:
dvd- sex & the city
theater- hamlet 2

looking forward to new material from the kc, n'doy.

oh, and i can hear!

hey, there! how cool is it that the kc has a blog. that's really sweet. and seriously, if she ever needs a tour journaler, i'm totally available. i'll work for food and a place to sleep!

speaking of the kc, gigi posted this pic from mike ruiz's website on pg 9 of the photoshoot thread. she looks so happy.

reminds me of when i saw NKOTB on oct. 17 @ the AT&T Center! (home of the Spurs! whoo!) best concert ever. i hadn't ever been to something like that ever. huge crowd. i screamed like a little girl. i felt like one! took me a few days to recover afterward. definitely not 8 anymore!
the guys looked great and sang beautifully. i know officially know what what it's like to hear some many people screaming that it sounds like a roar. great show for the fans. natasha beddingfield was the second opener. great singer! i would go see a whole show of just her. and some girl from kingston, jamaica opened first. i forgot what she said her name was, she even spelled it out. her album title had something to do with diva. she sang dance music. and i say this in all seriousness, but she's like the white Riahanna. same kinda music, haircut and outfit. although, i think she was a better singer. either way, neither my taste, but if you like that sort of music, it was pretty good.

i won tickets to see carrie underwood on halloween. i'm going. i'm trying to see all of the idols that come this way. i missed the idol show that played at the erwin center and then i missed taylor at the rodeo. but i'm sure i'll get other chances. i thought i was gonna miss daughtry when he played stubb's bbq, but lucked into some free tickets. and now i won free tickets to underwood w/special guests little big town. i'm looking forward to the show. i really enjoyed 'some hearts' less so 'carnival ride' so hopefully there's a good mixture of both that leans more towards 'some hearts' and some familiar covers.

i'm still working on vids and performance guide. for the performance guide, the writing just isn't there. i'm rusty!

kxan is back! just in time for 30 Rock!

i saw HSM3! that movie was wicked! i loved it. a lot of fun and the actors really committed. some of those sequences were pretty genius. kenny ortega really outdid himself this time. hopefully i can see it again before it leaves theaters. eagerly awaiting the dvd though! party! jmspike20, sammestar and i took our 11 yro cousin at like 9:30pm on saturday. we'd had a pretty full day, but really wanted to see it so we went late. anyway, we are 26 and 25. they were enforcing the curfew. we totally got carded! he thought jmspike20 was trying to claim to be our mother! haha. at first glance he thought the ID was fake, which it isn't. then he thought she was claiming to be our mother. then she's like know, he's 11 and the one i'm claiming, they are 26 and 25 and are totally old enough. then he asked her what movie after she had already said HSM3. so she told him again and was all, oh. eh, it was funny, but i guess you had to be there. excellent movie though, highly recommend it!

i saw that HaveYouEverBeenLow posted! that's crazy b/c that very day i'd been like, where'd they go? and then they haven't posted again
i've also been missing posts from kikimets, carltonyourdoorman, and sleepless4kelly. along with a few others. wherever they are i hope they are doing well!

oh, and julia roberts's bday was tues, oct 28. so happy belated 41 julia!!!!!!!

love her.

happy halloween in case i don't get a chance to post tomorrow. if i do, well, then i'll just have to say it again!

thanks for reading.

ok, let me just start out by saying THANK YOU sooooo much to the person who gifted me with a yukusupporter! now i can look at more than 1 page on three threads more than once a day. i had been limiting myself a bunch. i promise than when i can afford to i will gift another! thanks again.

i forgot to mention that i love the new look to the place. i find it easier to look at and easier to read. i don't know it's weird, but it is what it is.

i just wanna say that i'm pretty sure it was my 11th hour purchase of MLWSWY that shot it to #1 on iTunes. i put it over the edge. i toyed with the idea of not buying it, but then my older sister brought me a tiny bottle of Chivas to celebrate the day. i took it as a sign and rushed to buy the single. i didn't drink the whisky though, i'm pretty sure i don't like whisky. but it was a lovely thought and i still have the tiny unopened bottle. i will drink it eventually though as i'm sure it's poor manners not to drink a gifted drink. anyway, congrats to kelly and co. on another hit! (#97 hot 100 debut!)

so, i've been trying to catch up on shows i missed and doing a lot of reading. is anyone else obsessed with Legend of the Seeker? i am totally obsessed. pretty! i love it and it's prob right up there with 30 Rock of my anticipating the next new episode of a show. i've read the first six books of the Sword of Truth novels, the series on which the show is based. and really, i just finished the 6th book Faith of the Fallen and some of it actually made me think of the kc. i know, i know. and now i'm re-reading the first book to kind of compare and contrast with the show. lots of differences, but the basic overarching idea is still there and the richard/kahlan love story is still there, which is my fave part of the books anyway. anyway, i love the show, check your local listings as it is syndicated.

i've checked out some of the audition rounds of AI. not bad. san fran blew, but for the most part, they aren't boring like they were the past two seasons. this could end up being really good. and me loves kara d.! lovesssssssss!!!!!!

the Academy Award nominations are out! The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a great movie!!!!!! beautiful people that can act against a beautiful backdrop and a beautiful love story. i read the short story by F Scott after seeing the movie. the short story has a guy named benjamin button that ages in reverse. seriously though, tilda swinton is hilarious. brad pitt reminded me why i was so all about the pitt in the sixth grade. and cate blanchett is imo, the most gorgeous woman in the movies today. she has no equal. and i am sad that they wasted a nomination on angelina jolie when surely cate was better. but that's ok since it has to totally be kate winlset's year! come on people!

hey, did anybody watch Bones tonight? brennan and booth go undercover and their undercover married name is moosejaw. canada! corey! awesome! all great things lead to the kc.

i was glad to hear that the kc watched the inauguration! new president, we'll see how it goes. i didn't pay attention to a lot of it because seriously, the sword of truth novels are highly addictive! 4get the Twilight mumbo jumbo. those are poorly written to the nth degree. go see the movie, it gets the point across and rob pattinson is made of the pretty. yes, even if he thinks enunciating while singing is decidely uncool. anyway, back to the inauguration stuff. mariah carey was once great. no denying, that she was and that she inspired generations of singers to come. no one can take away what she once was, nor can they deny her contributions, good or bad to the musical landscape of the past present and future but...did you HEAR Beyonce's rendition of At Last?! Loved. It. she looked gorgeous and sang as gorgeous as she looked. seriously, i really think that this era of beyonce is the best yet and that everywhere she sings she is singing better than she ever has before. just lovely.

alrighty, i've gone on long enough. i haven't gotten to hear most of the radio interviews, so i can't really comment on any really. i haven't been listening to the radio so i'm not sure how the new song is doing locally. everytime i turn on the radio though, it seems that bleep bleep bing ping waa wah computer sounds are all the rage. is it just me or did the first decade of the new millenium of pop music peak in 2006? RIP 2004-2006! anyway, i plug in the ol' ipod (which seriously is pretty old now, it's a Gen 5 ipod with video). i can have tkc all the time mixed in with other music that doesn't sound like ting tang boop boop bling ching bleep doop poop. (unless i'm in the mood for NIN, 'cause trent reznor is my husband!) or is anybody else obssessed with One Republic? or am i way late on that one? and what the H happened to Anna Nalick?! i loves her.

ok, really stepping away now. i tore myself away from the seeker for you. feel special.

Kelly Clarkson is not a story. She is a person. She never said Breakaway wasn't authentically her. She never said My December was all she was. And at least she remembers Thankful exists. And because "The" Kelly Clarkson is aware of all this, she is able to say this is All I Ever Wanted.

This album is career retrospective mixed with a pop music retrospective tossed together with a serving of current pop music stirred in a bowl of...oh forget it, this album is FUN! Waxing poetic on something this fun -I'm sorry, FUN!- is taking away from the point of it all. But, you're reading Piper's Corner, so get ready for it...

yes, the full review with track by track commentary is still in the works. look forward to it! haha.
seriously, i'm gonna return to writing it after posting this. i will say that i am currently obsessed with 'don't let me stop you'!
other reviews to follow will be the video review and snl review.
yes, one day the corner will be relevant again and not so behind the times.

i want to be able to deserve/earn a new banner at the top of the page. although the current crop of promo stuff hasn't really highlighted her eyes in quite the same way yet. i'm sure something will though. maybe i'll find the time to submit one myself! imagine that! actually contributing to the board again. i love this place!

good news is i've been m.i.a. because of work! i have a new respect for substitute teachers. wish i wasn't so hard on them back in the day.

but yeah, i have set stuff in motion.

thanks for your patience and continued reading and checking in on this thing. it'll be worth it. promise.

and i just wanna give a big shout-out to bix and other admins/mods. they've been keeping up with so much and doing an awesome job of it!

Thanks,
PC
