I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea. With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden. Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs. In red, of course.
I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer. It’s fantastic! I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book. Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.
If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers. I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette. Fun!
Happy New Year! I think of you both often. Have made the transition to vegetarianism. Maybe vegan one day. It’s a process. I love the challenge to be creative and the health benefits as well. Come to Austin and visit me sometime.

Okay, so I am coming to this way late, but I just wanted to commiserate on the Money Pit situation. We are considering selling our house next year just to avoid putting in a new roof and furnace. I know I don’t want to stay in this house for another five or so years, so I know we’d never get our money back (we’d have to finance those repairs). Well, there are other reasons why we want to sell but those are big ones. As it stands now we have a huge To Do list just to get the house ready to show. Ugh.
GREAT letter! But I was shocked to see the notebook paper with FIVE HOLES! At a Catholic school? No wonder you Mount Saint Joe’s/Joe Paradox chicks were completely out of control!
I would still love to do a little “wax on wax off” with Ralph Macchio.
A schedule. Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket. A schedule will help me post more! Let’s give Music Mondays a try, shall we? (I know, I know. It’s corny, but roll with me.)
iPod on shuffle. First five songs. Here goes:
“I Made it Through The Rain” by Barry Manilow. Great song, made better by Captain Jack Harkness. (for Audra)
“Hold On” - Green Day
“One More Try” - Richard Marx
“Too Much Heaven” - The Bee Gees
“Utopia” - Alanis Morrissette
Trivia Question: On what popular after-school Canadian television show did Alanis Morrissette appear? (The same television show that featured Christine “Moose” McGlade, who denied her identity when I recognized her at a Grateful Dead show in the late 1980s. Yes, I was at a Grateful Dead show. No, I’m not proud of that fact.)
Correct answer-ers will be entered into this week’s prize drawing. Answer in the comments or email me at joeparadox at gmail dot com!
I seriously cannot get past the fact that it’s Captain Jack singing. It would be one thing if he sounded different while singing than he did while acting, but it’s just too weird for me.
BTW, have you started watching Torchwood in addition to Doctor Who? I know I’ve probably asked you that, but I can’t remember the answer.
Trying to think about this question, and I’m pretty sure I don’t know who this Moose person is. Hmm...Nope, I don’t know.
I kind of feel like I need to buy this CD immediately.
We haven’t started Torchwood yet - in fact, today we should get the last two DVDs of Dr. Who and then we’ll be completely caught up. I don’t know what I’ll do when we can’t watch episode after episode. Oh, wait, yes I do. I’ll watch them all again.

Oh also I meant to ask you if you noticed that the name of the CD is “Music Music Music?” Does Barrowman yell everything in threes like he did on Any Dream?

I don’t know - green slime falls on my head…
You Can’t do that on Television!

I agree with Kelly.
S3 of Torchwood begins today in the UK, I believe, or later this month on one of the US stations (don’t recall if it’s SciFi or BBCA).

Ahahahahah, I totally missed the I Don’t Know! I hang my head in shame.

What do you mean you are not proud of going to a grateful Dead concert? What the hell? Oh, and what you should be soo proud of going to a Hanson concert?
Posted by Sheri on 07/06 at 05:28 PM
Hahahahaha! I was wondering when you would chime in on that! I hate the Grateful Dead! And yes I am proud of attending a Hanson concert. Like eight times. ;)

You know my extreme hatred of The Grateful Dead. Hate. Hate.
I had not checked your blog since, um.....March or so and assumed you left it cold and alone. Then I click on here and find Barrowman! For! Me!
Yes, the title Music, Music, Music is because he likes to repeat things in threes while judging.
Also, this CD has the Barrowman/Boys duet of “I Know Him So Well” and Barrowman’s “I Am What I Am.”
AND he farts rainbows and sweats glitter. Fucking hell I love him.
