7:07a	Show some emotion I got an email from a writer who has the coolest thing on her blog, The Bookshelf Muse: every Thursday she has a new listing in what she calls an Emotion Thesaurus. So the next time you get stuck trying to think of a different way to show anger and you keep finding yourself saying they “scowled,” you can turn to the Emotion Thesaurus. Here are some of her examples for unease: crossing/uncrossing arms or legs shifting around in chair slipping hands in pockets glancing at a person, a clock, a door, etc, then looking away chewing on a fingernail drawing mouth into a straight line and biting lip excessive swallowing flips hair back (female) frowning pushes food around on plate etc. So far she has done: anger, disappointment, embarrassment, fear, happiness, jealousy, sadness, shock, and unease. See for yourself here. (6 Comments | Comment on this)
3:11p	I am probably an idiot, but... I'm paying my kid to read. To read, to exercise, and to practice the mandolin. Kid wanted to save up for a bass guitar. Now kid is leaping through books. Doing the kind of reading I didn't used to have to be bribed to do. And kid sounds pretty good on the mandolin, too. On another note - has anyone bought a cheap bass lately (like under $200) that they liked? (19 Comments | Comment on this)
