Hiya, it's us me and DeeDee and Daph (Deb's flaked out in the cabin - 17 hours!!!!) and we've only got seven minutes lol. $3 buys your seven minutes. ;D

The Queen Mary is awesome, wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thank you James for giving us the excuse to come and stay on here. To die for! Daph can feel ghosts all around. DeeDee is right sceptical but my head is heavy and I have the shivers. We're going on the Ghost Tour on Sunday evening and some fellas showed us pictures of one of the ghosts! Should have heard DeeDee lol.

LA is flat and all lights and palm trees and hot. Fantastic. Journey wasn't bad, just right tired really. Actually I'm wired and want to go out and look for Walmart but everyone else is wanting bed lol.

Daph says she's never come America again 'cos they wouldn't let her smoke anywhere, New York being particularly bolshy but can you blame them!!

DeeDee's come back from showing Daph how to get back to the cabin, it's a warren. You should see the cabins (Staterooms) they're fantastic with all the old fittings and everything. OMg I think it's great.

:DGood Luck James, and have a great weekend. Watch out for them DG's though

[PokerKitten]

OMG, word is that the new pic of James are 3 of him in a tux, various poses *come to mama!*

And JM has been spotted on board... check out MTS

Dark hair... very dark hair... why might that be...? ;D

[Ditto]

Stevie boy
Mr Himber is wandering about in a tux all over the place. Our Deb very familiar with him 'You look very nice Steve!' Agh the embarrassment. We are all dolled up to the nine's as it's the QM and we felt we should despite us not going to the special dinner. Deb and Daph have just gone off the ship for something to eat with Lou and Sam (lady from Vancouver, non-smoker but always gets a smoking room lol so she can meet peeps). Me and DeeDee are onboard here in the lobby hoping Marilyn will pass by if she hasn't already checked in she'll have to come here right?

We asked at the desk but would you believe not one of us can remember her second name. Unflippingbelievable. She's got the Twinkies!

We all went WalMart bet that's the first time the concierge has had a guest come off the QM and ask where's Walmart. Took his photo with them lot 'cos he's called Jesus.

Marilyn's here and it's chaos. ; All's well that ends well plus Twinkies. Marilyn's met that nice lady and thanked her. Steven Salchi was here and he knew me and DeeDee from our photos on here lol, says he lurks with that nice lady, didn't catch her name. It was very kind of her to offer M to share though.

Damn this internets costing money, I can't go hug Marilyn, not at them prices! Marilyn is so funny calling over when she got here to me and DeeDee, get off that internet. I am so glad she's here!

DeeDee and Marilyn are sorting it out at the desk now!


James has gone and it's before 9!

[PokerKitten]

Didn't understand most of that Ditto, but that's normal for me ;D

Oooh, RavenU has put up three pics at Whedonesque - yummy tux ;D (with MrH looming in the background of one of them ;D)

[PokerKitten]

[twistedspike]

Thanks PK for the links you always come through for us at these times.
He's looking gorgeous as usual and the CDS girls seem to be having a great time with him.
I can't believe they got him to type something on the comp lol ;D and lmao st SH and his enquiries into their site.

[Cyrus]

omg James is beautiful!!! ;D

[djf617]

That's what I get for not checking in here. Sarek found the Whedonesque link, and I was about to bring it here.

I almost hyperventilated. ;D

[Pluto7077]

Not much to say about the piccies except

Fancy carting a laptop around. I'm not sure what I think about that As long as James doesn't mind I spose it's only a bit of fun.

[PokerKitten]

Some nice tidbits about the Harsh Light of Day commentary, James' audtion tape for Star Trek, the Shadow Puppets sneak preview clips, and last night's gig at CDS ;D

[Cal]

Loving all of the reports! James looks fantastic. So glad that so many of you were able to go! I'm enjoying living vicariously through you all! ;D

[Ditto]

Deej, forgot to say, staff were asking people in the 'question for SteveDeKnight line' if they wanted CDs and tells me 'I know you've got them!' I told her about you though and she gave me Ghost Of The Robot CDs and if you want I can post them to you? I told her I'd sent you the David Letterman and so she looked out the others for you.

I got a little thingy for you as well PK, a GotR guestpass thingy if you haven't already got one and we got a Smallville piccie signed for Twistie and Will.

It's been great. Really great. Sam the lady from Canada who's friend Dragon made the Spike amulet he wears before he burns up, is having to leave before Teachers so sisters etc have gone for a last drink and to see her off so me and DeeDee are on here and then chillin' cos we want to be fresh for James.

Cripes, it's gonna go off again! They owe me $10! Agh. DeeDee'll have to give you the gen. Can I just say cowlick? OMfrickin'god, he makes me swoon...

I adore him. No Smallville next series tho' and also Steve is looking into next years Jamses visits!

[PokerKitten]

PK's PA here
Still like him then Ditto

No Smallville next series tho' dammit

Dammit indeed

[DeeDee]

Hiya, my comp bit the dust so it's me and DeeDee lol. Hope she's got a better memory than me cos I'm down with the Jamses fog. ;D

We just did the autograph thingy. OMg to die for. After Brekkie on the Promenade with Alicia we went to the talks and DD took a pic of Al (sp?) and Tim and Steve deKnight was talking as well and then they did a commentary altogether. Vastly entertaining.

DD asked SdeK a question (You wrote several episodes jointly with another writer how does that work?) They answered they worked separately and never see each other lol). I asked SdK a question as well, OMg I can't believe I did that! ;D

Then Lisa did a cracking interview with Al and Tim on Smallville, really entertaining and then it was time to line up for autographs with James.

First we went to the merchandise desk where the JM Live girls were selling pics dead cheap, some only a dollar! And some signed for $5! Met Wistful again and Sam from Canada joined us. More the merrier literally. Wot a good laff. Don't think our Deb's stopped shrieking all weekend. ;D

Had fun just queuing, Marilyn is a hoot. She says when we're all chattering she loses the plot and thinks we talking Italian. ;D Alicia came to stand with us for yet another meeting with James. Don't know how she does it!

Then it was time for James again. Don't know what to say about that...tell 'em DeeDee. ;D

DeeDee got dead bossy (lmao, Deb and Daph says she's spending too much time with me, it's rubbing off!) ;D and sorted us all out and made them lot go first so we could watch them give the prezzies to James so he could put them in his little box. ;D

Deb gave him the watch and told him it was set at English time so he can't be late for anything. ;D Alicia gave him two pics of him and her!!!! She told him to pick so he did!!! ;D Marilyn was next and she's just so funny, she cracks us up big time.

I just gave him a bracelet only I don't think he realised cos I got James fog and just left it on table and went into swoon when handing him the Words&Music setlist which he was very interested to see asking where I'd got it. However (taking over again lol) DeeDee went first and she gave him the most fantastic prezzie (I'm jealous lol), a silver ring but it's all the little theatrical masks all round, you know happy/sad (comedy/tragedy) totally apt prezzie for our darling thespian methinks. ;D

DeeDee walks up and shakes his hand looking into his beautiful blue eyes and then she unpacked the little ring box from the gold foil bag and then she says to him 'I see you don't wear rings any more?' He replied 'Yes I do, but I haven't got any on today' and then she got a kiss!!! ;D He had a little pile of silver Hershey's kisses which he was handing out to the gels. Gord luv us I adore him.

Then it was me *fog descends* I told him I minded the water bottle and didn't let anybody get it for EBay and I think he was beginning to glaze over as usual when I babble. ;D He shakes my hand and hands me a kiss and it's all over but I'm getting better at leaving him *walks away on wobbly legs*

The whole gaggle of us laughing and chattering and so happy to have met the great man. DeeDee agrees with me. Alicia was really shaking, she couldn't put her piccie in her folder for shaking. Then we all went for choccie shakes on the other deck to recover. ;D

The JM Live girls and Lisa are doing a cracking job, it's been absolutely great, cannot fault it. Yay Mr Himber. Last nights dinner was marvellous and we sat with a lovely couple who kept us entertained with chatter; from New Jersey way. He's a science teacher and speaks French *is impressed* and she's lovely and two other ladies who were very nice as well and the food was divine. The whole thing from start to finish has been a blast. Don't know how they've made any profit though with laying on such lavish fare, plus they have to pay the excellent guests.

[DeeDee]

Re last night, the concert. OMg cowlick and mussed hair and white teeshirt which he lifts to rub his tummy. OMFGord. Lusting big time there on Row L me and DeeDee. ;D Grins haven't left us yet. Marilyn and Deb and Daph were on Row O and having a right giggle, could hear them (not at Jamses though, he was to die for).

The new music was fantastic but not enough of it. I wanted a new CD! And a tour! I listen to the Civilised Man CD every night and wanted another one! Damnit.

Yesterday afternoon we had our photos taken with James. I look stupid as usual, squashed hamster! I was that nervous. He looks relaxed and hand in pocket with everyone else and he just had to hold my hand and them lot said he was looking after me as if to ask is she alright? ;D His hand was dead hot (like the rest of him).

DeeDee looked lovely and he was dead impressed with her hat! She was gonna chuck it off but he said not to and said 'You look posh in that!' in an English accent. ;D She had two piccies taken, one in a cocktail dress (with hat and gloves) and one in her Jamses tee-shirt.

JM Live girls are doing great and Lisa said she liked my jacket *is pleazed* she's lost tons of weight and is looking good. Glad the JM Live girls are doing this again like Halloween and the tours. Go them.

See y'all.

[PokerKitten]

Hey up it's the PA again
I'm having a bit of trouble typing here thinking about the 'tummy rubbing' ;D
So good to hear Ditto was able to leave James in one piece and that the JM gels have everything running so smoothly. ;D

DeeDee did James make any comment on your prezzie??
for the reports luvvies.....can't wait to hear the rest of your tales ;D

BTW; did you get a group photo taken?
