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.

Regarding “sleeps,” is “1-2-3 seepies”

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

From the entry 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.

Interesting Stuff

Ikea (2)

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.

Learning CSS (0)

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!

Watch Penn Jillette share his thoughts on topics from Garth Brooks to atheism to freedom fighting princesses.  Excellent stuff, here.

Dreamgirls (2)

I finally got around to watching Dreamgirls yesterday.  Ooooooooh my goodness.  Jennifer Hudson totally deserved that Oscar.  Brilliant.

Well you know his name is Simon

...and I WISH he liked to do drawrings.

He likes to do other things, instead.

Last night we were sitting on the sofa.  Tony was doing some work on his laptop, and I was on the phone with a friend.  I look over and see Simon with his head buried in Emmett’s ass, licking away.  Emmett was perfectly content to have his salad tossed.  I had to put a stop to it.  This kitty already emits the most foul odors known to man in the litter box, he doesn’t need any help from Emmett’s butt, too.

Around 5 in the morning, I woke up, not to my usual alarm clock, but to a familiar licking sound, which I usually hear when one of the cats is trying to eat something they shouldn’t.  In the pitch dark, I jumped out of bed and picked up Simon to find out what he was chewing on.  I put my hand to his face and felt something think and slimy protruding from his mouth.  My initial reaction was panic that he had eaten something allergic, that his tongue was swelling up and he was going to die.  I turned on the light.  Yeah.  I was wrong.  He was munching on a giant HAIRBALL which Ariel had thrown up minutes earlier. 

All of this wouldn’t have seemed so incredibly sickening if he also hadn’t tried to drink The Smoosh’s pee a few days earlier. 

As Tony said, he is the only kitty WE could have adopted and the only two people who would put up with this.  We heart him like crazy.
