Put It Behind You Thursday, Oct. 19, 2006 - 3:04 a.m. Congratulations and major hoorays to Jeffrey Sebelia, who won the third season of Project Runway. I predicted that Michael would win, and Laura would come in second, but I have rarely been so happy to be wrong. --- Wow, the pennant race has come down to a seventh game tonight. I'm insisting on Stadium Food being in the house tonight; Hot dogs, french fries, and maybe even nachos. I hope it's a good game. --- Thursday Three, courtesy of the Memes List to the left:
I have friends of all ages. My closest friends are a little younger than I am, but I think that's just a coincidence. 2. Do you believe that age makes a difference in certain situations? Why/why not? Well, sometimes. I was born in 1965 and my husband was born in 1954, and I can't think of a single other decade since the Civil War in which our country changed so drastically. 3. What about in relationships? Does age matter? Why? I think the strongest and longest marriages are based on friendship. And the age difference between John and me has been a perpetual learning experience as we try to meet in the middle. Feel free to borrow this for your own entry. --- And finally, good news:
He told the audience in Hull on Tuesday that the gig felt like "a big group therapy session". In a BBC Radio 1 interview, Chaplin said that says his life had become "unmanageable" when he entered rehab. "You walk to the edge of the cliff and look into the abyss, and either kind of jump off or turn around," he said. "Thankfully, it was the latter." The concert was in stark contrast to the band's last appearance at the V Festival in August, when the singer looked pale and drawn. He checked into rehab the following day. 'Unmanageable' "I wasn't happy and I wasn't enjoying myself," the 27-year-old singer told Radio 1 of his decision to enter the Priory. "When your life becomes unmanageable that's when you have to do something about it." The singer stressed that the clinic, which has treated many famous people including Pete Doherty, Caroline Aherne and Justin Hawkins, was not a "trendy health farm". "There are people in there, including myself, who do have a lot of problems. People who are dealing with life and death situations." Chaplin left the clinic two weeks ago and said he was "taking it as it comes". Keane, which also features drummer Richard Hughes and keyboard player Tim Rice-Oxley, won two Brit Awards last year for best British album, for their debut Hopes and Fears, and best British breakthrough act. Two years ago, they topped the BBC News website's Sound of 2004 poll of UK critics and broadcasters, which focuses on up-and-coming acts. Their follow-up album, Under the Iron Sea, entered the UK chart at number one in June. Good on ya, Tom. We'll see you over here next year. I'm glad you're doing better. --- Have a Thursday! ---
