A Room With a View

I really need help designing my new room. It’s not very homey right now.
When I walk inside, I feel very uncomfortable--like Tupac during his last years with Death Row Records.

Everything about my room makes me feel like I’m living in a medieval castle. I need to brighten this place up with some plantation shudders and a bay window. I also need a new color treatment on my walls. I hate the faux marbling on my walls. It looks so tacky—almost offensive. I’m thinking a moss green paint would look nice.

I also need a mini bar with a couple bottles of Roederer Cristal Rose-Limited 750. You know what I mean?

I’d also like a nice shag rug. I can’t stand walking on the cold marble anymore. There’s just something about wiggling my toes in shag carpet that makes me feel good.

I hear ya, Joey. The thing is, you ARE living in a medieval castle! I'd say yes, do the shag rug. Maybe a nice lava lamp. A beaded curtain would enhance your space as well. Good luck!

Get it painted!!!

I suppose you know this, but I will remind you that if Leo da Vinci had been a straight man, a hetero, the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered.

Papa',

You are 78 years old. And you don't appear to be as health looking as JPII. In fact your photos make you look like you almost on death's door! You need to start getting more sleep and exercise. You look worst than my 86 year old aunt.

Drafty castles make you shiver. You need shawls and afghans not shudders! And the Pope's skull cap, okay
let's call "a spade a spade"; your yamikah is not enough.
You need to convert to some sort of shawl like the orthodox bishops wear. Perhaps a wide brimmed hat like the ultra orthodox Jewish clergy wears. You could use a beard and more hair. Both help to keep you warm.

The shag rug will not keep you warm over marble floors. You need persian/egyptian throw rugs which are thicker and much, much warmer. They would also fit the current style setting of your rooms. More tapestries! They keep the rooms warm as well!

And ea, satin sheets? C'mon babe this is the Pope! He rates silk and 7000 thread Egyptian cotton sheets.

Is there an Ikea in Rome?

You know, I'm a seminary student (that's religious school for protestants). Quite often I'm asked if I'm going to be a nun when I graduate, which is just silly because...well, do nuns even have to go to school? But anyway, we have finals coming up soon, so if you have a chance to break away from your busy schedule, would you please bless my blog? Maybe then I would do well on my exams.

Peter II sez,

Yes goodnight moon, ikea is swedish so yes they are near Rome. Italy now has outlet malls. Nun's have good
"habits" so they do go to school. In fact they often teach in school.

A blessing? Hocus Pocus Dominocus ... conjuring magic or is the prayer "Hoc est Dominos Nostrum"?

MArtha Stewart's out. Maybe she can help. I'm sure they'd take off the ankle cuffs to make a trip to the Vatican.

Peter II sez,

Hmmm the new Martha Stewart reality show with special
guest star: the Pope! How to run the vatican like a franchise ... (world's first franchise dotcha know). The adventures of young nubile women at the Vatican. Da Vinci code stuff.. hmmm Martha could make a second billion.

What's this obsession with boxers or briefs? Everyone knows you wear Depends....come on now!

You're just gonna have to suck it up and live in that marble castle with all the old crap everywhere. If you don't, you'll be accused of being materialistic and the poor and needy will lose respect for you. The shoes are really pressing the limit.

What would I do without all of you. I'm going to get my place looking pope'd out--thanks to you all. BTW, I wear Depends--and yes I definitely need a spa treatment.

I'm so going to hell for loving this blog.

Please Pope, keep up the awesome Pope-ing Pope-ness that you do! You are Pope-tacular!

Most Holy Father, In addition to your new decor might I suggest you consult a Feng-Shui master? I understand that a properly arranged room can help you solve all of life's problems!

Your servant,

Pope Joe, how about getting a mix of decor from your favorite MTV cribs episodes. I suggest a bit from the following peep's houses:
Macy Gray: she has a fab, well-decored house in Cali
Boy George: He's got great art work & furniture
Shaq O'neal: Get his bed & yeah his giant fridge
Dave Meyers(directs many of Missy's videos)has a giant, amazing fish tank & wall unit.

Akiey, thanks. I gotta call this Dave Meyers guy. I want him to start directing my television appearances. I think he's just the guy I need.

I say go with the Shag area rug. Shaw Carpet just came out with one that is really long and chunky.

But you need a carpet rake to keep it clean. Try the Shagmag. It's the best carpet rake on the market.

BTW: why does God let bad things happen to good people?

God is the cause of good, not the bad. That god-man Jesus is the way to combat the Big Bad It in all it's forms and tricks. Don't forget his Holy Name. It will come in handy whenever you need Him.

Bingo. Old Ohio Catholics always played Bingo and crocheted. Just Ask Pilla. Kept them busy with their hands.

Spring! I think it is time to redecorate, plan ahead, plus decide upon a few other decisions. Why should I be stuck in these recessionary times when there is shopping to be done? Do I choose pine or a composite for the end day and what should I wear? Still thinking of moving to Tuscany...after the probation. But I had the time of my life ... and regrets only a few.
