So, you've finished your screenplay. Maybe you're still tweaking things here and there, but for the most part, that lovely swell of satisfaction has washed over you and you're thinking that it's about time to show it to people. Or is it? That's a question that all screenwriters think at one point or...
I have met very few people in my life who didn’t like traveling, and even then I believe they just hadn’t had the right experience yet. If you are having a hard time trying to persuade someone to come traveling with you, try easing them into the subject through travel memes. Humor always helps, and traveling is no different.

If you are an educator, the topic of note taking has come up in your PLN more than once. Perhaps you are encouraged to use a certain method in your school. My school is an AVID school and I taught at other AVID schools, so the Cornell Note-Taking Method is something I've been exposed to a lot, have

Did actress Meryl Streep originate a statement about no longer having patience for things that displease her?
"You," he said, "are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe is why you're in so much pain." She stared at him as the words washed over her and she did not know what to say. Her mind raced at why he was standing here, why he was talking to her, and why she even mattered today of all days. She was leaving, on her way out and ready to start a new chapter of her life and here he was spouting deep thoughts at her. "Your pain is evident in your writing little one." he said softly as he stepped closer. Her heart about stopped at his nearness and she itched to touch him. To feel his skin under her fingertips once again. But she held fast, her green gaze locked to his brown. "Your pain is evident even now in your gorgeous eyes." He whispered and then his fingertips did slide over her jawline. She could not breathe. It was as if the desire sucked away every ounce of oxygen in her body and she felt light headed. "Now you are leaving.....again. Leaving me again." his words were so softly spoken she almost asked him to repeat but instead she said. "I can never leave you for you are forever in my heart and soul." her words, so softly spoken, visibly hit him. His movement ceased, his eyes darkened with that desire she always wanted to see again. then without warning his lips crashed down to hers like a storm. She was swept away in the tumultuous waves of pleasure. Her arms snaked around him to find his hair and soon they were pressed to one another as they stood in the cool fall evening. He broke the kiss, leaning back to stare down into her eyes. "No more pain. I know we can't start over but let's do things different this time." he said still staring down at her. "Different so we get a better outcome." her arms still around him she just gazed into his eyes, melting all over. "So we get the best outcome." he said smiling and tugged her close once again. She sighed happily, tentatively hoping this could be something grand.

My cartoonist friend Alex Matthews tells me that he has been trying for ages to get a talking-object cartoon published in a magazine. And he's finally succeeded, with a cartoon featuring a talking stagalmite (or is it a stalactite?) in Prospect magazine. You can see it on his new blog. This got me thinking because I've really not done a great deal of talking-object cartoons. I've done plenty with talking animals, but not your actual inanimate everyday objects. And, really, you don't see that many around, unless they're by the master of the technique: the New Yorker's Charles Barsotti. He's given life to many an lifeless object. A great talking pasta gag springs to mind. Anyway, I looked through my files and could only find one published example, and it's almost ten years old. This was published in 1999 in the now defunct Metro supplement which came with the The Times on a Saturday. I've always had a fondness for this one, probably because it's so very, very daft, and I never thought anyone would actually print it! I like the world-weary look on the ironing board's, er, face. Looking through my unpublished gags, I found I've done maybe three or four others but none I want to share here because one is quite recent and is still "doing the rounds" of the magazines, and the others are, well, not that great. OK ... I have no shame, here's one. Talking punctuation marks, anyone? Actually I rewrote this cartoon for a commissioned job. It became one of several cartoons illustrating an in-house style book (a guide to grammar usage etc.), but the rewritten line came from the mouth of a human. It was an interesting exercise to look through my talking-object gags because what I realised was this: in every one of them the technique is used to illustrate a pun! So maybe a little thinking outside the box is in order and I need to find other ways of utilising this little-used cartoon technique. But I don't think Mr Barsotti will be too worried just yet. If you have any links to great talking-object cartoons that I may have missed, let me know. Royston's portfolio website

It is a tradition at our school to have a school-wide Christmas Sing-Along on the last day before our holiday break. I had been looking for another fun activity to add to our festivities and this turned out to be the perfect choice! I got this lesson awhile back at a Randy and Jeff Conference but after seeing this video, I was inspired to teach it to the whole school! It is really geared more towards older students and some of the movement combinations are a little difficult but my younger students really enjoyed learning it as well. It also went along very well with our study on form this December. Here is my own version of the visual: Here are the students in action at the Sing-Along: Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
