Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.

Cute Is a Defense Mechanism
Sometimes if you're feeling low or blue (as I am today) it's good to remember that ever useful website Cute Overload. Usually I don't go in for cute, but the site's hard to resist.
I think he's a rabbit of some sort. It's hard to tell. Do you remember that old Warner Brothers cartoon where there was an incredibly cute puppy (or some such beast) and it got wet? When it was wet it was just two eyeballs floating on a vertical piece of fur. That's what I think would happen with this l'il guy if he ever took a shower.
Thanks for the smile! It's a downish day for me today, too. Wonder if it's this clammy east coast weather, or the weird in-betweenness of this time of year?
Weird. I am also having a blue day. Is is something in the air? I think I am still coming down from 48 Hour Film Project. I'm going to look at cute stuff too and see if it doesn't perk me up.
Aw, don't feel bad, Fuse! That animal is pretty darn cute...he should work his magic (what is he, but the way?)

ReplyDeleteWhat is that, like, little green poop pellets next to her? How, uh, cute.
ReplyDeleteFine. Fine. Indistinguishable grey creature has been switched out for rabbit-like yellow creature. *sigh*
