Killian Gets All Halloweeny

First as Pablo from The Backyardigans. Note the clever hand puppet accessory and background Wiggles action! He then quickly changes into Sesame Street gear and a character that is unrecognizable.

Archival Paul

I just found a bunch of some of my older blog posts when it was hosted elsewhere. I've posted a link to them on the right under Useful Links --> Older Paulblog Archives


Have a read if you are so inspired. I'm still missing a big chunk between then and now and am working to get that posted online.

Monsterized

Beware my scary "monsterized" blog name for the Halloween season (yes, the "L" looks like an "I" but apparently that's unavoidable).

*Blog!*

I want the capability to turn the Batman fighting words on and off in my own life. You know the ones, the words that appeared in colored bubbles whenever Batman and Robin were in a fight on the television show. Granted, I'm never in fights so the would have to pop up for other activities such as *Staple!* or *Sit!* or *Type!*. I've seen this utilized in a few animated shows over the past few years and it's typically hilarious. How cool would it be to have this happening in real life. Of course, it would become annoying pretty quick so that's why I'd need the on/off option.

Hiccuping Chicken? What the?!?

So Killian was watching The Wiggles the other day and I paid attention for the first time to a song that has played a thousand times. The song is apparently titled "Here Come the Chicken" and the lyrics go something very close to:

Here come the chicken
(here come the chicken)
Walking down the road
Here come the chicken
(here come the chicken)
Walking down the road
That chicken's got the hiccups
(that chicken's got the hiccups)
That chicken's got the hiccups
(that chicken's got the hiccups)
Won't somebody help that chicken, please!

What the...?!? Could we have a more bizarre concept? Granted, it's not rare to encounter odd lyrics in a children's song but it's just a particularly strange one to me. Then again, the show does have a pirate captain with a feather sword.

Fun Links

Some entertaining links that were brought to my attention over the past couple months:

• Phat 70's Fashion
• If FOX News had existed throughout history

Avert Not Thine Eyes

I made a modification to the blog template just to change things up a bit.

Xbox 360 Joins the Family

I finally sprung for an Xbox 360 today, thus explaining my gamertag now appearing on the right of my blog. Skate was the final straw. Aww yeah, early Christmas present...

Photos of the new joint

As promised, here are some shots of the new house. All interior. I'll post some exterior shots later. Have a look: click here for photo set

A Little Bit of Nothing

I have yet to unpack the cable to extract pics from the digital camera of the new house, so you shall have to continue waiting for those. On the other exciting things though:

• Killian's swing set arrived yesterday. Granted it's in boxed form, but it shall be constructed on Saturday barring inclement weather.
• The bulk of our fence has been stained (that was a messy affair).
• The house is about 1/2 way unpacked, but it's slowing down as we go trying to weed out unnecessary stuff.
  
• DirectTV is installed and working well. Just have to get used to a new channel lineup.
• Watched the series premiere of The Bionic Woman. Can't say that I really enjoyed it. I will give it a three episode chance though. If it doesn't improve by #3, it's off my list.
• Family Guy, The Office and My Name is Earl came through with flying colors for their season premiers, as did Prison Break though I still can't figure out why I continue to watch that one.
  
• I mowed a lawn for the first time in about 20 years.
• Many neighbors have been met - so far every one of them is almost too nice.
• I've had sinus fun going for just over a week now. Oh, joy.

Alright, just wanted to toss a quick update out there. Until next time.
