MuseBlog

Words you ♥, words you made up, names you’re curious about–step right up and verbalize. Just don’t reveal too much about your own names.

Got a bright idea for the blog, the Fan Page, or (though we aren’t in charge of it) the magazine? Unveil it here.

Earlier blindingly brilliant inspirations are recorded at Suggestion Box, v. 2006.1 and Requests/Ideas.

The ever-popular place to try out tricks with type, new bunny designs, etc. Annoy Amaze your friends!

A friend of a friend points out:

At two minutes and three seconds after one o’clock Wednesday morning it will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. That will never happen again. [So much for info you get by e-mail. As MuseBloggers have correctly pointed out, it will happen once a century.]

(All good Musers will be sound asleep, of course.)

Still going strong. Continued from the plain-vanilla Harry Potter thread.

MuseBlog has become so big and complicated that once-thriving threads are turning into ghost towns–especially the ones that have scrolled off the front page. Got a favorite that deserves more attention? Post its link here and talk it up a little. Maybe the best is yet to come.

Ebeth thinks it would be cathartic to hurl insults at an imaginary being named Mr. Joe, who appears to look like this: . Your ever-obliging Administrators aren’t sure how that’s supposed to work, but we’re willing to give it a try. Sorry about this, Joe..

OK, enough clowning around. Welcome to April and a new random thread. Post away!

He’s not one of the more Muselike denizens of Earth… but all right, let’s get this over with.

OK, nobody wants to talk about Chuck. Let’s try the rabbits.

We give up. It’s total cathassus in here.

Thursday the 30th is the day. And the color is…?

Here’s the place to talk about it, to copy the links (they’re allowed if they’re in the magazine), and to post a Muse Mail boildown. (The Administrators don’t have time to boil it down themselves, but volunteers are more than welcome.) SPOILER WARNING.

This month’s random thread, continued, continued, continued, continued. Clearly, MuseBloggers have an unlimited appetite for randomness. Please read The Rules if you haven’t yet.

Wednesday’s the day for this proud member of Generation 5.

Let us know when you get your issue. It’s amazing how much the arrival times vary.

Homework, that is. But not too much help, please.

People have been complaining about their teachers a lot. But good ones do exist, and they make a huge difference. To give credit where credit is due, let’s hear about your favorites and what they’re doing right.

Many MuseBloggers belong to choirs or choruses, perform in musicals, or find other ways to use their voices for purposes other than talking. It’s clear that you’re bursting to discuss this topic, so… *blows into pitch pipe*

By popular request. We’re sure exactly what form this thread will take; that’s up to you. So rev up the time machine, and let’s go.

No need to go into specifics–just list ’em.
Go ahead, get them out of your system.

Muse’s long string of five-star reviews on Amazon.com has snapped at last. A reviewer who identified herself himself or herself as a “Midwest educator” said the magazine was “Not a-musing!” and gave it one star–the lowest possible rating.

Well, you can’t please everybody. Thanks to all Musers who have told Amazon the real story, whatever their teachers (excuse us, educators) might think.

(When you see green text in a GAPA’s post, it’s a link, by the way.)

Whew. There you go. Check for your name to see which generation you’re in (guess who has way too much time on her hands?).

The date: Thursday, March 23. The age: 15. And her favorite color is..?

She turns 12 on Wednesday the 22nd.

This month’s random thread, continued, continued. Please read The Rules if you haven’t yet.

According to the Naval Observatory, the vernal equinox arrived at 1:26 p.m. U. S. Eastern time (12:26 p.m. MuseBlog time) today. The change of seasons may seem meaningless to you Californians and laughable to you Midwesterners, but officially, at least, it has happened.
