Hey it's Monday! Let's try that

Week-In-Review?

I am definitely doing these more as an adulting accountability post I think, but regardless!

Reading:

Finished The Hollow Places, highly recommended, deeply disturbing and yet ultimately wonderfully comforting/validating/humane. Can't quite think of the word I want? But it makes you glad to be a People on This World of Ours! (If also very glad that the specific adventures in the book are fiction and you do not have to worry about them spreading to anyone else 😅)

Am currently re-reading a series I recalled from when I was, idk, 10 or something, called The Time Keeper which holds up pretty well. I'm enjoying them... they're VERY 80s-SFF-Juvenile Fiction, though, if anyone is familiar with that niche of a sub-genre. 😄

My mother and I had a weird conversation awhile back: do you remember those books with the time travel and the stepping stones when I was a kid? and did eventually figure out the series with only that! Then she found the ebooks re-issued by the author and got them for me. 🎉

Playing:

Murder by Numbers, which is a mystery VN plus a slew of those pictogram puzzle things, and I am enjoying it a lot. Though I got a low(er) score on the third case and am not sure what I missed, so it may be a bit before I go back to finish it... It goes gloriously hard with its 90s aesthetic/setting too, so that's fun.

Adulting:

I have not been making my bed or doing anything beyond the bare minimum of laundry, but the dishes are being held in check and I've been taking my meds and no one missed an appointment or starved, so that's pretty much a win, I think?

Creating:

I did work on the Current Cross Stitch, but it's a bit of a slog atm (and I think I screwed up a color) so that didn't last long...

No writing either.

Instead I made a Crochet Kit Piggie!

She's a little crooked, but I'm pleased by my first attempt. 💕 Next I'm trying an Elephant and they'll go sit on the picture book shelf with Thing 2's old Elephant & Piggie Books, since I still remember those pretty fondly myself.

And that's about it? We got a bit of snow today, which was nice, but otherwise it's been the same old around here.

What have you been up to, my dears & darlings?

Adventures in Librarian-ing

Today (the first day of the 2023-2024 school year at the school district I work at) several of the Grade 2 teachers had scavenger hunts with their classes to help the kiddos get to know the school.

One of them had a Mo Willems Pigeon theme to hers, so she was like "Hey, do you have the Pigeon book about where he goes to school?"

"I sure do!" I said, "Let me go get it for you."

I came back with the book and this guy:

The teacher was so excited she'd have the stuffie to go with the book that she gave me a hug. xD

UPDATE: I found a higher quality version of the model sheet after giving a quick look at Brian A. Miller's Twitter/X account (as Mo's post mentioned that it came from there). The Instagram variant will be replaced by the Twitter/X one, but I will make a reblog of this post which contains the former.

Literally just today, Mo Willems had uploaded a SITBC model sheet of himself from 2000, as well as a bunch of info regarding the series' press on "The Critic's Tour" in The Ritz Carlton, Los Angeles.

Mo's Description:

Baa-ck in the Day.

Here’s a model sheet from 23 years ago when Cartoon Network was launching my short-lived series, SHEEP IN THE BIG CITY.

The gag for the press was that the show was created by myself and an actual sheep with whom I’d been a writing partner for years. We even had a live sheep share the stage with me when we presented the show at Up Fronts in LA in early 2001. Wonderfully, some reporters fell for it. To be fair to them, the sheep bleated at all the right times and was such a great performer he literally ate the scenery.

The image of me w/ the puppet was from actual model sheets. I wanted Sheep to be animated as if he were a puppet, which would make him look all the more alien and oblivious.

The show was fun and a flop, but I’m surprisingly touched by how often a fan lets me know how much they enjoyed the show.

Brain's Description:

Creator self model sheets from 2000. SHEEP had just premiered. PPG & EEE were in production and on air. I don’t believe Genndy or John D ever did one. I like how everything about these reflect the man behind them.
