MuseBlog

It’s coming up fast: you could almost hold your breath until the end of school. Then comes your chance to do some real reading–untrammeled, unfettered, free.

So…what’s on your list, and what do you recommend?

Just under the title on the cover of every Muse you’ll see the words “From the Publishers of Cricket and Smithsonian Magazine.” That’s accurate as far as it goes, but it lacks a certain, shall we say, resonance. It also gives no clue about what a newcomer to the magazine can expect to find inside. We’re sure that MuseBloggers will have no trouble dreaming up something more creative. Suggestions, please!

Ye olde monthlie randomnesse just keepeth rollynge along.

Jessie (mother of yay4hotpinkbunnies now known as the pink stalking penguin of penzance) has surgery on Tuesday. Here’s a place to wish her well, cheer her on, and give her virtual tchoqlut. We’re rooting for you, Musermom!

From top to bottom: Solo Bunny, Bug-eyed Bunny, Neon Bunny, Bunny By Numbers, Pop Goes the Bunny, Op Art Bunny 1, Op Art Bunny 2, Beardsley Bunny, Spin the Bunny.

He turns 16 on Monday. Everybody wish him an Ultimate Supreme Executive Occasion!

This falls into the category of “saying nice things about our friends,” but Robert has just finished reading book three of Larry’s Cartoon History of the Universe and just has to tell the world how utterly brilliant and wonderful it is. If you’re tired of memorizing lists of kings and wars for school and really want to understand how history works, this series is a must.

OK, end of rhapsody. (A rhapsody is like a rant, only complimentary.)

In which we demonstrate that the Kokonspiracy is truly kosmopolitan.

P.S. Feel free to add places where you’d like to live, at least for a while.

A.k.a. “In the Jugg Agane.” A self-explanatory topic continued from Skool.

A thread suggested by Purple Panda, who describes it thus: “… the best way to make chocolate chip cookies, a good method of doing homework, the secret to jump-roping, etc.” Brilliant idea, PP. Now, about that cookie recipe…

Many of us (GAPAs included) have been having trouble connecting to MuseBlog recently. Our host company blames unexplained “network outages.” That’s all we know. Patience, please, and keep on Musing!

The cathassus continues. For the story so far, click here.

Even more monthly randomness.

And welcome to the blog! If you’ll tell us your favorite color, we’ll wear it in your honor (an ancient MuseBlog tradition).

Mabruk! Kul ‘am wa inti bi-khair.

By popular request. This might be a good place to swap tips on printing stickers, too.

Here’s your “hidden thread.”

We really discourage this, but Brave Sir Robbin (Shana who…) feels so strongly about these that we’re making an exception.

Sorry, your GAPAs have no control over what goes into the magazine. You’ll have to submit them to the editors if you want them published.

It started on the Harry Potter thread, comment 325. Here, in installments, is the rest of the story.

More monthly randomness.

Samantha Sordyl is the new assistant editor at Muse. She’s busy at work in the Chicago office most of the time, despite Kokopelli doing his very best to distract her every chance he gets. When she’s not working on Muse, she enjoys biking, reading and painting the rooms in her new place, and repainting them when the colors don’t turn out just right.

[That’s what Samantha says about herself. Other relevant information: she reads MuseBlog and is the magazine’s official Keeper of the Stickers (“Kokopelli for President” and HPB). –Admin.]

That’s Frodo the MuseBlogger, not Frodo Baggins. (His birthday is in September and will appear on the calendar in due time.)

Including, but not limited to, the Inheritance Trilogy.

Nobody else may post here first. And once she’s posted, nobody else may post EVER.

Righto, Y4HPB, it’s all yours.
