Danielle and Tony:
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.

An Update!, andrea said:
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.
Congrats on the new job too.

My Letter to Ralph Macchio, Fran said:
Hey, Deebers,
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.

My Letter to Ralph Macchio, Craig said:
I started to comment and say that this was the greatest thing I’d ever seen, but then I clicked on the old post and saw:
This is the greatest thing ever. EV-ER!

You know what, though? It’s still true.

Ever since my Granny’s house was torn down - it just hasn’t been the same when I visit my relatives. I visualize every detail - details that they have no recollection of or attachment to ... sad. :(
I had no idea your AC was out!!!
And I’m so glad we get to share the GLEE obsession together!!

An Update!, Melissa said:
I feel the exact same way about my grandparent’s house and it has been 3 or more years since it was sold. I still can’t drive by because I don’t want to see it without the milk tin on the front porch.

Music Monday - July 6, 2009, Audra said:
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.

Top Chef Goes Vegan, Danielle said:
That is an excellent point. Wheat and soy-based ingredients are so prevalent in vegan cuisine, so to take those out of the mix could seem daunting. And, it’s a competition, so I’m betting nerves played a part, as well.
Ok, how awesome is Rick Bayless’ restaurant to be so accomodating? That says a lot about his leadership as the owner, and about his philosophy of feeding people.
What you’re saying about fake meat products is so true. From time to time, we overuse them for protein, because they cook up fast and are easy to add to one-pot meals. The most delicious meals are the ones which feature one key, flavorful ingredient, or those that require a bit more creativity than just opening a package.
vegan. teacher. opinionated. loves books, shoes, hanson, ‘the amazing race’, the 80s, ‘waiting for guffman’, mid-afternoon naps, musicals and breakfast cereal. four cats. one redhead. hi.
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!
My friend Chel’s Gus and Stuff website and blog. “It’s all about being creative.”
Watch Penn Jillette share his thoughts on topics from Garth Brooks to atheism to freedom fighting princesses. Excellent stuff, here.
I finally got around to watching Dreamgirls yesterday. Ooooooooh my goodness. Jennifer Hudson totally deserved that Oscar. Brilliant.
I am particularly addicted to You Are What You Eat at the moment. I’m especially fascinated by the whole kebab thing.
Snowed In is my favorite Christmas CD. It’s Hanson. Enough said.
Ok, I totally did not forget about or give up on the tournament! Clearly it’s not going to be done before I go back to school, but I promise to keep it going until it’s finished. Consider it an ongoing distraction from work!
