WTF is "a case of the Mondays"????

What a good weekend...

Friday was a great birthday party for a great man...

Saturday I sat behind my computer writing the "Animal Behavior" movie, and we haven't even finished editing the show yet, hahahaha....  Filmed part of a short film...  Then just hanging with an old friend...  And a nite at home to myself,

And Sunday...  Hung out with my man Nick and then a nice mellow Sunday nite on the porch with the cats.

And now it's Monday Morning...  I don't have that "I Hate Monday" mentality.  Monday is just like the rest of the days for me.  A day to live.  A day to be.

And the coffee I'm drinking out of my grandfather's mug and "Lovesexy" from Prince playing on my stereo are a great way to get it started...

Coffee brewing...

Someone mentioned to me that I didn't give Prince a birthday shout out last week on my blog or on Facebook...

Oops...  I post about his amazing music alot, so I figured I would just listen to "Parade" and enjoy the day...

But...  So I don't have the Gods of Paisley Park but the wraith on unfunky on me...

Happy Belated Birthday Prince...

And speaking of influences and birthdays...

Happy Birthday to the late great Maurice Sendak

Prince Album of the Week - C-Note

For you, my friend, Jordan

This song keeps reinventing itself for me...  I stumbled on this demo today, and you all need to hear this song.

Hmmmm...

So I've been taking stock of the puppets...  So many puppets...

Some of them aren't great ones; from when I was still learning, and many of them we'll never use...

Look for cheap old puppets by weeks end on my Etsy page ;)

And maybe even some new ones!

and for no reason whatsoever...  MIKE!

New GAMRZ!!!

Here is Episode 4!

More Poetry Corner!

Simon's Lament

How many puppets does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I started this morning with  Ziggy Stardust on my turntable, and coffee in hand.  Did some emails for the bidniz of Elmwood, and am now here on my blog...  And I have Sinatra serenading me on the turntable now...
Just wanted to take a five, hit up the blog and say to the world:

It's good to be alive.

Prince Album of the Week - Xpectation

Words to live by...

"You must embrace life.  You must be lustful.  You must embrace all these things characters are.  

You must have a drink and gorge yourself and stay up late and live life to the fullest, because you can't be a great puppeteer unless you really enjoy life." 

- Salvatore Gato, Master Puppeteer.

from the book "Puppet: An Essay on Uncanny Life" by Kenneth Gross

Here is a crew...  The Elmwood Crew...  We really enjoy life.

Puppets In Progress...
