Welcome to FoxVox

After much time off from posting to his site as a personal blog, John has rebirthed his domain as something he’s been wanting to do for a long time. Actually, he originally bought the domain name, Parabolic Mirror, (many years ago) as a sort of spoof of things like the Daily Mirror tabloid, but the original idea for it didn’t come about right away. Creative ideas have their own schedule, apparently!

In any case, it’s now officially a site for news and political satire! Not just making fun of politics and news, but creating parody stories that step sideways while still incorporating the actual news in funny ways. 🙂 He’s got a few posts there already, so stop by if you’d like a good chuckle: Parabolic Mirror. (Also, the Legend of the Green Dragon text-based rpg is also still available at the site – just click here – same place it was before!)

So, since I haven’t been posting too often, I thought I’d at least make a random list of all the things I’ve been doing lately, because I know you’re all dying to know….

• I made homemade brownies.
• We purchased, assembled, and am enjoying using an Elliptical Trainer. If you want to find out how compatible you are with your partner, try assembling a large machine with a gazillion parts – LOL.
• I have been working on ALL of our websites, getting the shops ready for the holidays, cleaning up old/bad code, adding new products, etc. (this is the biggest time user in the list of course)
• We had a small sendoff for our friend Tom (he’s going to be in Africa again!) that involved Italian food.
• In moments of insanity, I send John text messages at work (on his cell phone, from my computer), with really stupid comments.
• I occasionally have sessions with dogs that involve me tossing small dog treats in unexpected directions.
• I bought three new 16×20 canvases to do some acrylic abstracts – on sale!
• I finished the final Harry Potter book. Everyone dies. 😉
• I’ve been trying to get used to a radically (not) different hairstyle (parted on the right instead of the left.)
• We take our laptops into town some weekends to download cool internet radio shows on free wi-fi (we’re still on SLOW dialup).
• I’ve been serenading the rabbits, squirrels, and blue jays with my conga drums. So far they haven’t called the cops on me.
• Working on a couple different book ideas, one fiction, one not, nothing to talk about yet though.

So that should sort of bring you up to date, although in a less than eloquent fashion, but at least there are words!
