What made you frown today?

D---, Lola. That's horrible. Nothing I can say will help that at all.

I hope your cousin is surrounded by loving family and friends who can help her cope with such a horrific loss. And I hope you live in a state which has the death penalty.

So so sorry for your trauma and loss.

I don't really know what to say, Grace. Except I'm sorry about that

Today's front page news on all the Muppet sites I visit.

Jerry Nelson…

The news about Jerry Nelson...

Jerry Nelson. <3

I sent him a letter last week... I feel so sad.

Well, I basically have to parrot what everyone else has been saying...

I go to bed last night, without any major problems other than my own personal ones, then I wake up this morning and find one of the greats of the world of Muppets has passed on.

Dang.

I was also very saddened by the death of Jerry Nelson, a man with great talents who performed some of the most diverse characters of the Muppets!

And then I hear the news of the final trial of Anders Behring Breivik. The way he acted was just chilling.

I know I'm only repeating what everyone else has said, but We'll miss you mister Nelson, may you rest in peace and find yourself pleased with what you've acompished and may you be happy with Jim, wherever you both are.

OMG, Lola, I am soooo sorry! There's a special spot on the ol' celestial stove for jerks like that....

Yes, I meant to comment on that. I'm so sorry about that Lola p! That little girl is now in the holiest of places now and no one will be able to hurt her ever again. I hope you and your family will be comforted at this tragic times in your life.

I am really starting to get stressed out with this puppet project I'm working on. Nothing seems to be coming out right and it feels like every time I try to work on something, I spend hours on it and it still doesn't come out right. Then I put it aside for a week because I can't stand to look at it without loosing my mind. Then I start working on it again because I feel like I need to stop being lazy and then the whole cycle starts over again. If it were just for me I might scrap the whole thing in a cathartic bonfire. But it's for a friend who's paying me for it. I've already done one puppet for him which he loves so I don't want to let him down with this one, which is what I think might be contributing to the whole thing in that I freak out over the slightest imperfections of this thing. Also I don't want to just throw in the towel on it.
Grrrr

Thank you for your attention at this very difficult time. Please continue with whatever you were doing.

Seconds ago found out that my most regular client is discontinuing services as her family will be taking over looking after her. Good for her...bad for me. Now I have to scramble to get enough work hours. Again.

My kingdom for enough income to just sit at home and write...

A close friend of mine's parents are going through divorce. It is really terrible because they just had a baby a few months ago. They were high school sweethearts too...

Well, you know how the old saying goes, once the baby comes along, the honeymoon's over.

Sorry, that wasn't the time or the place.

Nah, don't worry about it, they've actually had two kids already. Oh well, things like this just happen in life.

((((Lola/Grace)))) even though the post is 5 days old I'm SO sorry! That poor little girl! She's in a better place now. And may the imbecile who did that did that to her rot in you know where!!

I have a horrible cold . No idea where I got it from though. Normally I just get colds in the winter (Contrary to popular belief it does get cold down here in the winter.)Summer colds stink!
