 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| Kåre is whining about being worn out from reading blogs and leaving poop comments on your entries. Well whine away! Until you've walked on cobblestone in stilettos cry-me-a-kumquat. I'm Quentin Queen of the Kumquats  ... deal with it... or not.So I'm supposed to chat about a museum? Of what? If I'm not featured in my full length gown and tiara... now there's a thought... Imperial Quintana of Kumquats Kumquats here, kumquats there, kumquats, kumquats everywhere! Until you've been to Kinkin you can Not imagine.
As Queen I collected a few things: Here are my teacups, my collection of jams and jellies, note the 27 varieties of quince jelly, my favorite. Over there we keep dried quats, loquats, highquats... we're out of fresh kumquats but I'm sure the citrus section of your grocery store will have some. We're a museum not a market. Ah... my rings made of coral, necklaces of sea shells, an anklet of pearls and my mismatched kumquat earrings I was going to give as a gag gift for a friend. Their loss. On the left, in a special temperature controlled room, we have my gown. And my tiara...  the tiara I had to pawn  . But I'm sure you-all are hungry by now? Sit down for some tea and toast. Have some kumquat comfits... as many as you like. HRK Quentin. Why Kåre is worn out: Robert: "Beer Museum: Glasses, ingredients, processes, historical notes, vintage vessels, cauldrons, mandrake root. Will you serve Butterbeer in the Homage to Hogwarts Room? I'm sure Sonali can preside over the opening with a few vituous verses and a flick of her wand. Wonder whether she has any spare floo powder to get there and back! What part of the USA will it be it located in? I don't see any American town named Louvain. Hmm." In "Beer Necessities"  For prompt #1 Mary Ann makes a valid point for seniors. I believe she is the eldest among us. A laptop is a godsend for those of us who live alone yet want/need to stay in touch. "With My Pen I'm Fearless" Sonali and the MofM Museum of Marcophily. "I checked the envelope of a letter you sent to me. Yes, it's stamped with the Vidhana Soudha. I would most likey love to visit Kokrebelur. If the animals/birds are not afraid of people then the people tend to be very nice. I've been to Istanbul and Dubai where cats are friendly and in general the dogs are friendly in the Balkans. Same here. Few nasty dogs. Costa Rica? Very nasty dogs." In "Marcophily - #30DBC" Viv: A circus exhibition? Happy cheerful music? Just a little dark in the DARK corner? I wonder what darkness therein hid in the Dark? In "MUSEUM EXHIBIT I LIKE" Annette: "There's a bit of an edge, isn't there? 7-8 years old? Kids that age can ask uneasy questions, much to the dismay of some adults. In second grade we went to the Zoo (capitalized because it was The Zoo to an 8 year old), although all I remember was the elephant squirting some of us including my mother. A zoo is a museum in a way. Anyway... I like that Tanicqua and Monique both have the letter 'q'. I'm intrigued as to where you'll take us. Of course we won't have a clue until the prompt is posted but that's the joy of the unexpected. Good stories unfold that way. And some writers (at least the pantsers) don't know until they write it.  I really like how you're handling this." In "History is Scary" Petra: "Except on Mondays... so European! It does explain where Wolf got that book. I mean... why not an Auction Museum? I've never heard of one but it sounds delightful especially if there were a window display of quirky items. If there were an auction every Sunday and a new display put up on Tuesdays... Was the box a 'bargain basement bin' discount table, mystery box, yadayada? What else on display might prove to be a clue that reveals itself later in the story? Like... who set it up and why. In any case ... word count!" "An auction museum" To Tina: "You'd love the National Train Museum in York, England. Yep. Mixing a couple of those ideas might work. It needn't be a grand museum. It could be tiny "Open Mondays Only" because that's when all of the other museums are closed. Live plants take room and upkeep. Spices, herbs, especially local ones, blends like curry, those used to ease life (poison, no samples)...  It could be The Potion Place. Slytherin? Or Hufflepuff? Could it be in a train car on a siding? Still mobile?" In "Invalid Entry" Sandy Day 2: Wonderful! I do agree that each Dust Bunny deserves a name. I can hear you the curator in a dry desiccated voice intoning, "Here are Sally Blue-eyes and Derek Dark-orbs, the parents of millions. Look around you at their minions and be awed". Such a joyful tongue-in-parched-cheek response. Love it.  In "30 day Blogging-Nov 2, 2021" Nannarazzi (Sandy) Day 1: Yes, Nannarazzi Jetson... your grandgiggles' grands will giggle when they see pictures of you. I have a pile of cards and letters, mostly sent by WDC members. I disturbed them today looking for one Sonali sent me with special cancelation postmarks. Found it and told her. I belong to the Snail Mail Group but I'm not into birthday and holiday cards. I send letters and poems. Written in cursive.  By-the-way, I'm sneezing after reading about your (Nannarazzi's) Dust Bunny Museum... is that a bad sign?  In "Dust Bunny Tableaus" LeJen: "Are there cooperative records? Like, how many times can a disc be thrown back and forth? At 10 meters, 20 meters, 30. In a specific amount of time with penalties for dropping? Go Team Timor-Leste. Pictures are fine, but of course you'll include videos and how-to. And a resident expert could be on site (on certain days and times) to show newbies, oldies, children. The gift shop would carry all the brands (even cheap, even vintage). Toronto would be a nice location. Torino, Italy another. Both cities have good transportation and other museums. Did the Egyptians play frisbee? Am I being silly? No. All those lovely museums we now enjoy came about by someone with a 'whacky' idea, many much more whackier than yours. " In "History of Flying Disc Sports, Now Known as Frisbee Sports" Judith:"I had an image of a flying saucer or Borg shaped shiny physical building sitting on a green hill in the middle of nowhere (sheep safely grazing). Inside one goes up a grand staircase or steps inside a glass tube to go up a floor where in all directions there are portals to all the places and experiences you have mentioned... and a few you didn't. Real? Holodecks? Below, the restaurant serves food from around this World. Above, the Galaxy's fares are offered. Again... sheep may safely graze... because they aren't on the menu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1nyzGR3tUE" In "Travel log" Sox: Not from this omniverse... Are Raen and Beaoul amused or concerned? I'm glad to see you doing this. The Museum of the Middle of Everywhen would overwhelm a mere mortal like me. But then... are R&B mortal? Regardless, nice use of the museum prompt to give insight into the character Raen and the challenges that await (in the past, present, future). Re "November 2, 2021" 5185 |
