Caroline is really getting into Ninjago. I think she has about 7 episodes to go to have seen the entire thing. Not something I would think she would like but then she is studying a marital art so maybe that\u2019s where the interest came from.<\/p>\n

Speaking of studying a Marital Art, I am still trying to get moves down that should be easy but I am finding my body fighting my mind. Or rather my mind body connection isn\u2019t connecting that well. I did fine for a bit but then got out of sync. I need to practice more to get the moves down. <\/p>\n

Remember when a book was just a book and not part of an elaborate series? Or a platform for multi-media and entertainment properties? I liked one and done stories but no one seems to want to publish those anymore. It must be part of a bigger picture. You know what my bigger picture was? My imagination of what happened next. Yeah, I did fanfic in my head at a young age.<\/p>\n

Janet Lee is a friend of mine who is a really spiffy artist. I have admired her work for years and finally the rest of the world is starting to realize how wonderful an artist she is. She also makes killer sock monkeys. She recently did a set of the Doctors from Doctor Who and has captured them quite well. I am coveting her 8th Doctor piece.<\/p>\n

I have also been reading various artists web logs about what has been selling at tables and not selling. Art Shows have been pretty dead according to them and prints have hit a saturation point between the production costs and the sales. Last year seemed a bad year for sales for most artists. Personally I had one of my best years. <\/p>\n

In this \u201cdo you think this will sell category\u201d subsection Harry Potter, do you think the following would be of interest to anyone and at what price point.<\/p>\n

I have some other ideas of things to make for DragonCon. I am just trying to figure out the market these days.<\/p>\n

Getting ready for our trip to Italy. I am excited and have a feeling of trepidation all at the same time. There is still a lot to do before we leave in 8 days.<\/p>\n

There is a fine line between creativity and insanity. Just saying.<\/p>\n

There is also a fine line between performance art and crossing the line. If all you are trying to do is shock your audience, go and start a haunted house or something. Also complaining about who gets grants and that you don\u2019t should get you to take a closer look of what you are doing. And no \u201cthe man\u201d isn\u2019t trying to keep you from expressing yourself, he just isn\u2019t willing to pay you for the privilege.<\/p>\n

Caroline is citizen of the month for her school this month. I am very proud of her. <\/p>\n

Mets are running hot and cold these days. If they sweep the Orioles, then, given their pattern, they are going to lose to the Yankees. It is mostly the bats. The pitching has been pretty doggone good. And props for RA Dickey for his killer season. He has been amazing to watch.<\/p>\n

Caroline current favorite girly programs are Winx and Monster High. One is about fairies and the other about monsters. Both are about fitting in and not fitting in and how not fitting in is not always a bad thing. They do encourage being true to yourself and not following the pack even if you are a werewolf. They are a little repetitive at points in the story but also feel like soap operas for the younger set. I wonder if Caroline is even going to know what a soap opera is.<\/p>\n

Well I need to get to it this morning. I have a few things I need to do today before I get a little me time.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that Caroline does have a strong sense of self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
