Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be writing this thing, ain't I? ***** The Minstrel's Path Part 16 by Kim McFarland ***** The two Minstrels, Murray and Cantus, walked through the tunnels, playing a meandering tune as they went. Brool carried a guitar, but did not join the music. Compared with...

charlietheowl: Thanks! The Count: The Sneetch skull is inside his head. As I said, I wanted to make a Cantus puppet, but I was hesitant to say so from the beginning, in case he didn't turn out right. And, well... As for his voice, I wasn't sure how he would sound when I was making him, but...

I saw that commercial (and a few others) on the Wreck-it Ralph website before the film opened.

Behold Shonky Fraggle, my current puppet-in-progress. Unless I find something that needs fixing or think of something to add to him, the puppet itself is done, and I just need to clothe him. I'm thinking something yukata-like. His hands seem enormous because he's a live-hand puppet. As I've...

[Cantus looks at his punch glass. Either he's drunk too much, or not enough.]

Got a flu shot. Ouchie.

Fabric.com has some good furs, and at lower prices than at Mendel's. I don't think they have quite as huge a variety, though. Still, worth a look.

There's one page toward the end that has a priceless image of Scooter in front of a Christmas tree. The way he's reacting makes me giggle. You may have to look twice to see why he has that expression on his face....

Got mine on Amazon. And, given that Mebberson's the artist, can you guess who makes a cameo in one panel?

Today, while waiting for the bus, my neighbor complained about being cold. He was wearing a hoodie, hood down. No gloves. And drinking iced tea. Derp.

This sounds like a better approach. I think they can pull it off this time.

Kim: I'm right here, and Janken... [scans the crowd, looking for purple] he's over there by the piano.

Double dark chocolate for me! Ooh, and the mug's nice and warm. Feels good on arthritic joints in winter.

Possibly the fireplace and a few chairs. You sure didn't miss the buffet table. Good thing the cleanup crew is here. [Rizzo and other rats scramble around, claiming whatever has hit the floor.]

Kim: Cocoa? Now that my hands are free, can I have some of that? The punch is a little, er, strong for my taste. [Glances over to the piano, where Rowlf and someone else with a very Rowlf-like voice are singing Lydia the Tattooed Lady in harmony.]

Oh, don't worry, not all kids are comfortable when they find themselves face-to-face with a puppet. Some visibly struggle with the dilemma of whether they're going to be thrilled or freak out. I usually stand the puppet on the floor a few feet away and let 'em decide whether they want to...

I went to "A Fraggle Rock Holiday" at the Center for Puppetry Arts last night. They screened The Perfect Blue Rollie and The Bells for Fraggle Rock. I brought Janken (who got to meet and talk with lots of kids and some adults, and posed for photos) and I rang my bell at the right moment. I...

Hi, Anthony. Good to met you. Unfortunately, I can't see the picture because it's an E-mail attachment, and only those logged into your account can see it. I don't go to many events at the CPA because I have to travel by MARTA, which can be rather unnerving late at night. If only their...

Kim spots the dragon heading her way, and belatedly realizes where she's standing. Escape is impossible. Resistance is futile. She sees only one way to save herself. When Deadly moves in for the kill, she grabs Janken up and holds him in front of herself as a fleece shield. Janken takes the...

: [innocently] How does this mistletoe stuff work again?
