Someone Who Doesn’t Like Muse

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.)

Muse Movie?

Cedar's idea. Ideas welcome!

Here’s what Cedar says:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The blog ought to start a section called:

MUSE FANS FOR A KOKOPELLI AND COMPANY MOVIE

This section would be used to allow Muse fans to give out ideas regarding the creation of a film version of “Attack of the Smart Pies.”

Examples:

Who do you think should play a certain Muse?

Descriptions of various houses?

Who should play Emma and Darien Drinkwater?

How bout Ms. Krishnamurti (Yes I know it says Ms. My family dosen’t believe in saying Mrs.)?

And finally:

Tell other people what props you plan to buy and send to the Muse crew, so they have less work to do, in making the ultimate dream come true.

PS: THIS MOVIE IS THE KIND THAT MUSE FANS WILL WANT TO SEE IN THEATERS!

Okey-doke, Cedar, here’s your special section. And a-WAYYY we go!

It seems odd to do this with only two days left in the month, but people are having trouble loading Part 2.

February Phantasmagoria, Part 2

This month's random thread, continued. [Now closed--continued in part three.]

The original February Phantasmagoria was getting too long. Hope we don’t have to make a Part 3. [We did. –Admin.]

MEET THE MUSES

The Muses will be dropping in on the blog from time to time, so this thread is no longer needed and will be closed to further comments. It's well worth reading, though.

We thought they’d never show up, but Larry Gonick has used his Kokonino County connections to coax them onto the blog. The Web may never be the same. Brace yourselves…

Happy Year of the Dog!

It’s the Chinese New Year. Any doggies on the blog? KitKat probably qualifies, along with most other people born in 1994.

*Role-playing game. To keep it interesting, the administrators are laying down a few rules and restrictions. Characters may include

  • the Muses (from Muse magazine or ancient Greek mythology);
  • people or animals featured in the magazine (for example, tenrecs);
  • Muse editors and other staff members;
  • famous real people, living or dead; and
  • fictional characters first created before the year 1900.

Within the above restrictions, the choice of locations and adventures is up to you. This may require a little research, but we’re sure you can handle it. Fair enough?
