Doughnut earrings! Put some pastries near your ear holes! Made from clay, acrylic, and clear varnished. Each doughnut is individually dipped. They come on a stainless steel post with a plastic backing. A selection of flavours and styles for the discerning connoisseur. You can go for a matching pair or Mix and Match. There are discounts for a 6pack(3 pairs), 12pack(6 pairs), or baker's Dozen(13 single earrings). You'll be the envy of your friends and give your enemies even MORE to spite you for! Take a gander at these fake taste creations!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gZYClimOUqg/TchppR00I6I/AAAAAAAAAUM/NeCkd3S9Yvc/s1600/2011-05-09_13-46-47_810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

The rule is write 40,000  words of anything.&amp;nbsp; I've chosen to do song parodies. This will help me  with new vocabulary words and smaller goals. I've done two so far, both  based on the realm of mad science. I'm leaning towards doing many  steampunk versions of songs. Probably will throw in some Doctor Who  while I'm at it.

The small stories in stories that Baum likes ran amok in this book. He also works with a dual plot line which didn't help with the pacing. After the next blog though I'm not going to do any more Oz books until much later. As entertaining as they are, the simple format repeated does not for a good read make. I'm thinking about going into the steampunk realm and picking a handful from there. We shall see.

But a good thing came from this, the Shaggy man! the ultimate hobo, always good natured fellow, and one of my favourite characters so far in the series. He has a charm so everyone loves him, which justifies Dorothy trusting him so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She tries to show him where a road to a place he wants to make sure not to go is, but ends up on a new adventure on a fairy road instead. Dorothy, Toto, and the Shaggy man pick a road at random and set down it. Not too far along they find a cherub of an idiot in Button-bright who gets his head turned into a fox at the next kingdom. Not to be out done, Shaggy man becomes a Shaggy Donkey head at the one after that. In between they find Polychrome, daughter of a rainbow who danced off the rainbow at just the wrong moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foxes who like fancy clothes but dislike donkeys and donkeys who don't like fancy furniture or foxes. They are both very similar in terms of way of life and the propensity to transform visitors heads whenever they feel like it. Probably another underlying moral. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The love charm doesn't help the group any when faced with the half clown, half black shadow creatures called the Scoodlers. Detachable heads and a want to toss everything in the stockpot, these unpleasant creatures nearly overtake our fellows. The love normally used to save him turns into a love for him to be made into soup. No fears though. Shaggy man saves the day with his baseball skills and the help of a deep cavernous gorge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that escape, the only thing separating Dorothy and crew from a delightful party is a giant desert of deadly sand and no way to cross. Once again, Shaggy man comes through and calls in a favour from Johnny Dooit, the handiest tinker and builder to have as a friend. He fashions them a sand-sail-boat and they cross with little trouble. Until the wreck at the very end, but we cant have vessels like that just laying about now can we? A quick pop over to a truth pond and everyone has their original heads again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ozma sends an escort to get them now that they are in Oz. Then it's off to the castle for a giant party! Ozma says the Shaggy man can stay if he gives up his love charm, which he agrees to. After the festivities everyone gets sent home and Dorothy goes to sleep in the castle to wake up again in Kansas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is more to the party but it's a lot of silliness I might fill in later. But for now I'm finally able to read the next one and then it's off to sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The Posh Panda&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-815179943207945985?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/815179943207945985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/road-to-oz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/815179943207945985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/815179943207945985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/road-to-oz.html' title='The Road to Oz'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSlByCbrIcI/AAAAAAAAASg/b9TYL6qCAlE/s72-c/the-road-to-oz.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-2795592722869186629</id><published>2011-01-07T21:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-13T18:52:55.627-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book a day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz'/><title type='text'>Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSfiiUxPpAI/AAAAAAAAASc/Xis3mUgs4oc/s1600/DATWofOZ.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSfiiUxPpAI/AAAAAAAAASc/Xis3mUgs4oc/s320/DATWofOZ.jpeg" width="233" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Baum wants to write about other things, if only the tiny children who control him would allow it. I'm glad Baum was pressured into writing more, That's right! I'm glad! *shakes fist* By the By, this post might be slightly more incoherent than usual as I am rather sleepy and full of apple juice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earthquakes in California! How novel an idea..wait.. Baum wrote this book soon after the earthquake of 1906. I can imagine he was watching cracks form and fill from his writing room window and thought to himself "my wouldn't that make a loverly place to toss two children and a horse?" Man, what a creepy guy. *whistles*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dorothy is bundled up with Eureka, a kitten in a bird cage, Zeb, her second cousin, and Jim, a former race horse turned cabbie horse, and swallowed up by the gaping maw of the Earth. Bit of an Alice fall with the carriage forming a parachute on the way down. Jim finds he can speak and spends most of the time down freaking out. Understandably so seeing as just before he was a normal, non talking, horse on normal, be it slightly tremor-y, ground. Now they were all drifting through an expansive void filled with 6 different colored suns towards a colony of sociopathic vegetable people in glass houses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you what, slow growing architecture and picking royalty off of bushes, that I'm fine with, but when you say that gravity gets less effective when you get closer to the center of the Planet? That make-a-me angry.(to be read in a bad italian accent) Vegetable people decide that strangers are annoying so they should be murdered. This is a common theme in these books. Apparently all strangers are dangerous or inconvenient ans so deserve death. Lucky our old friendly humbug wizard shows up to the rescue. They multiply some pigs, divide a sorcerer, and end up all blocked into a cavern system with no way back. Just like they planned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They come across more fairy land dangers and denizens. A valley of invisible people and invisible bears. Birds too, but BEARS!  Invisible bears! All from eating a certain delicious fruit that is  vaguely peach shaped. The birds eat it too, but not fish. What if they  poured juice from the fruit  into the river? See-through Salmon? A braided bearded hole and ruffle maker. A land of moody wooden gargoyle mimes with detachable wings. Truthful baby dragonettes bound by their tales and their mother. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being trapped in yet another cave, Dorothy remembers that Ozma checks on her every day at 4 o'clock. This would've been very handy back at the beginning in the invisible town. Might've save a bit of trouble and a few less hide scars for Jim. Nevermind though because it's back to the castle and another short vacation in Oz. Jim gets shown up by Saw-horse and decides this isn't the place for him. Zeb feels equally as uneasy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I enjoy about these books is that animals are still animals, most of the time. Lions still want to eat fat babies, and kittens wish to gobble down tiny piglets. One of these that can only end with a Dramatic trial! Accusations fly after Queen Ozma's new pet piglet goes missing. Eureka gets put on trial for willful consumption of the minipiggies. This cat is pretty much just a huge tootsiefrootsie. Won't spoil it, but the cat could solve everything but doesnt and the trial is super fast and almost as quickly overturned. I've noticed that the closer the animal is to being&amp;nbsp; domesticated in the 'real world', the less kind and humanized it acts once it gets to Oz. I wonder if that was intentional. After the trial, Oz decides to stay in Oz and everyone else is sent to whichever home they like best. Decent ending for a decent story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: I am no longer allowed to read more than one Oz book at a time. The plot lines are so similar I got them all scrambled as to who met whom and when. So from now on, one story read, then blog, and then I can read the next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The Posh Panda&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-2795592722869186629?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/2795592722869186629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/dorothy-and-wizard-in-oz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/2795592722869186629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/2795592722869186629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/dorothy-and-wizard-in-oz.html' title='Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSfiiUxPpAI/AAAAAAAAASc/Xis3mUgs4oc/s72-c/DATWofOZ.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-1119451911564555533</id><published>2011-01-06T18:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-13T18:53:13.098-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ozma of Oz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book a day'/><title type='text'>Ozma of Oz</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSZuRW3TelI/AAAAAAAAASY/lSMAZdT_HKw/s1600/OofOZ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSZuRW3TelI/AAAAAAAAASY/lSMAZdT_HKw/s320/OofOZ.jpg" width="235" /&gt;I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I'll say this straight off. I enjoyed Ozma of Oz. the characters were silly but that's alright because they each had their own personality quirks. Only qualm I have is that it wasnt really about Ozma very much. Otherwise it was a well written and plotted out fable. It turned where you thought it should and there were a few new, interesting bits for flavour.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;We start off with Dorothy and a yellow hen named Bill. Dorothy quickly "fixes" it to Billina then picks on the bird for eating bugs. Bit of Xanth flashback when they find the lunchbox and dinnerpail trees. Or a flash forward? Poor creatures the Wheelers. Warn people about themselves as a preservation technique then cry about being weak when someone calls a bluff. Either way they are an odd race, fancily dressed but with no thumbs to do the buttons! The clothes could be their actual hides. Wouldn't that save the tailor a bit of work. Cross breed wheelies to get the color, cut, and fabric pattern you wanted. Completely immoral seeing as they are a sentient species, but maybe you could magic that out of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The story goes along with clues being discovered then used not too long after. Poisonous deserts are introduced, Tik-Tok is wound for the first time, royal family sold into slavery, and a Ruler with 30 heads. She only wears one at a time having only one neck. If it was America she'ld just be a serial killer. Or a collector of the macabre! Or a wig maker, with realistic wig stands.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Dorothy ends up locked away for a night and the rest of the characters show up and set her free. Then it's off to rescue the royal family! Their keeper, not kidnapper as they were sold to him, cant see parting with good slaves even if they are part of a knick-nack collection. He seems a friendly enough hoarder until he realizes his guests are slightly more clever than he likes. But no worries, traveling with a hen has its advantages as her eggs are a deadly poison to the underground inhabitants. A quick tussle and belt thievery has our heroes with the upper hand. Royal family restored, Nome King egged, and back to the palace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;After Dorothy decides to say foo to her worrying family back in australia, she spends a few months cavorting around Oz and being best pals with Ozma. Eventually she asks about them, and as Glinda has a magical mirror of spying, Dorothy learns that her uncle is still sick, and very possibly DYING because she has left him to worry alone in the outback. A quick wish back to the real world and all is back to normal. With noone questioning anything about disappearing little girls or thinking about the effects of their actions. Ahh, good to be home.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;-The Posh Panda &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-1119451911564555533?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/1119451911564555533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/ozma-of-oz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/1119451911564555533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/1119451911564555533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/ozma-of-oz.html' title='Ozma of Oz'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSZuRW3TelI/AAAAAAAAASY/lSMAZdT_HKw/s72-c/OofOZ.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-2938903630488587520</id><published>2011-01-05T19:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-13T18:53:30.573-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Marvelous Land of Oz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book a day'/><title type='text'>The Marvelous Land of Oz</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSUwnq14m-I/AAAAAAAAASU/Tpt7A3fAqaA/s1600/TMLofOZ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSUwnq14m-I/AAAAAAAAASU/Tpt7A3fAqaA/s320/TMLofOZ.jpg" width="237" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Day: Two&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Book: Two&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Genders of Main Character: Two&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_959548911"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_959548912"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a marvelous land it is indeed where the entire story can be drawn through with high walled gender divisions and at the end the main character, who is a rough and tumble boy child, can be turned into a luscious perfect princess and no one thinks this odd. He/she also adjusts to it rather well as, like the last story, soon after everyone gets what they want Baum takes a few pages to give a rough idea of an epilogue and then runs off to compete in somersault contest or something as important. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say 'Main Character' though this book is an ensemble piece. A collection of underdeveloped personalities just deep enough so that near the end the "changes" the adventure caused are noticeable. Tip/Ozma's life theme is "I'm a mischievous boy who shrugs off anything that happens". Jack Pumpkinhead's carved on smile and his inability to frown is mentioned enough times for it to be a valid drinking game. he's also a manic worrier but only in terms of "will X thing make my head rot/break/cook" Just him mentioning the line then frowning is apparently enough to convey his worry. The Saw horse goes right from inquisitive to snooty and slightly moody. A character build that is echoed when the Gump is brought to life, but multiplied 6fold. I suppose being made from two sofas, a broom, and a moose head might seem make a bit of glumness justified, but Baum might've put the tiniest bit more development into him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the Scarecrow and Tinman make a reappearance. This time they've got the mirror dialogue as in the first book. Instead of being self effacing, half of the conversations are "brains are better" and "no heart is more important". This time they get to team their scowling towards an enlarged educated water bug in fancy dress. Apparently the only thing everybody hates in this country is a pun maker. With every line of the water bug's being a pun, apologizing for a pun, or trying to defend his pun by way of his learning, you wonder why they didn't find a house to drop on him three pages past his introduction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The villain's are just as single paged and silly. A secretly practicing, though rather common sense deprived, witch and an army of vain, greedy, and color coordinated girls armed with sass and knitting needles. The single guard and one man army didn't stand a chance. I hope the next book is better but while looking up the pattern of these things apparently less violence and plot will continue. If there was any books that needed Michael Bay, these would be great contenders. Imagine! The army of just legal teens, more explosions, strap some jet engines to Gump, turn the witch into a cyborg, and cast Megan Fox as Glinda the good witch. People would watch it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the next book is as scattered as this I might switch it up and move on.

We'll see how well this keeps me from going into a coma, or insane, or an insane coma, which is like a regular coma but with more bees. My first book is 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. Please to enjoy my ramblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSUhri11rSI/AAAAAAAAASQ/BfqmxIucx_Y/s1600/TWWofOZ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSUhri11rSI/AAAAAAAAASQ/BfqmxIucx_Y/s1600/TWWofOZ.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L. Frank Baum says that his story of Oz is purely to entertain and not to frighten children into being kind or moral. Even without the main intention of teaching littles to be nicer or to work together, this still clearly comes through the story. You can't tell of an adventure that meanders through a wondrous land with color coded townships, magical monkey armies, and almost constant dangers with no one learning anything. A good folk tale improves on the main characters, making them more brave, more caring, or just a bit smarter. If it's a really good one, us too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like reading a book that a movie is based on after I've seen the movie. If it's ever the other way round then the movie never matches up. With the exclusion of Harry Potter. You never get the detail or inner monologue, and often much of the story is cut out or changed to appeal to a wider audience, or to play well in less than a two hour span. BALDERDASH I say! then again, I'm not really one to talk as I am going to try and read a book every weekday. With 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' there's no way I could have read it before the movie. I had watched it before I was out of diapers and even knew what the alphabet was. I like the small details of each town having a different color scheme, of witches wearing white, and the walled in porcelain city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should tell you now I'm a big reader of fairy tales, folk lore, and mythology. So when I read something in that genre or style, I may be a bit of a snob. I did enjoy the story and the little bits about the magical genii monkeys and green goggles are nifty. But sometimes it seemed as if Baum had set down the manuscript, came back, and realized he had to write the story in less than a week. the scarecrow especially got a bit "oh I need to learn how to be smart without realizing it" towards the last third. every line or action was swapped between him having brilliant ideas, and usually only him, and him saying "oh gosh aren't I dumb"(not direct quote) I began to feel like he was a talented emo kid who kept insulting himself to get a rise out of everyone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything was a bit more macabre in the book as well. Twice Dorothy cleaned out dead witch to wear sparkly slippers, even though she had her own shoes, ragged though they were. I am pretty sure the Wizard jacked up the lion on absinthe for courage, but that's just a theory. Everyone seemed to go through the book with equal parts "this is an important adventure" and "oh everything is pointless to think about after it happens so why bother". Break a dairymaid? no worries, crush a witch? meh, last chance of getting home and leader of the biggest city in the country float away in a rickety balloon with no news ever heard of him again? cry for 2 min then fugettahboutit. I understand this is a book for children, but I really think Dorothy's mood swings might need to be monitored once she gets back to Kansas, that is if anyone there has invented psychiatry yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did enjoy it though. Classic fable ending, everyone gets what they want and if you don't end up a ruler of somewhere then at least you find a way home. even it is it grey old Kansas. Unless you're an evil character, of which there are two. You just end up dead at the hands of a tiny bipolar tourist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow:The Marvelous Land of Oz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The Posh Panda&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-3575071202483501423?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/3575071202483501423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/wonderful-wizard-of-oz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3575071202483501423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3575071202483501423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2011/01/wonderful-wizard-of-oz.html' title='The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/TSUhri11rSI/AAAAAAAAASQ/BfqmxIucx_Y/s72-c/TWWofOZ.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-5163516963804665313</id><published>2011-01-01T13:08:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-13T18:54:39.017-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thoughts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Cravings</title><content type='html'>Lately I haven't liked or enjoyed much of the food I've eaten. Which is worrysome because I love food and am a pretty good cook. Yeah, I've liked the holiday meals, but leftovers, even if super delicious (which they are) have been leaving me uninspired. I watch the food network, cooking channel, and travel channel shows but can't seem to get really interested like I normally would.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've spent this morning waiting for a call from work or to fall asleep. The tv has been turned to a marathon of no reservations and earlier it was Julie&amp;amp;Julia. The sight of fresh roasted piglet hasn't even made my mouth water! The only thing that's stirred my brain is all the noodles. If I ever stop wanting a noodle bowl then check my pulse. I fear this might be a new depression symptom and have tried to cure it the usual way, even tastier meals. FAILURE. I am changing tactics and going back to basic foods like oatmeal and noodle bowls. Sidenote:I love eating a thick spicy soup on a porch while it rains big drops just outside the safety range of the swing chair.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'm gonna go heat up some rice/tomato/sausage over a slice of french bread and broil some cheddar overtop.

I suppose that’s all I need, Time to finish growing and peck my way out…wait a minute.” Gerald crossed his new eyes and looked down. “Oh dear! What a silly kind of bird am I. I nearly forgot one of the most important things. I can’t peck my way out of a shell if I’ve not got a pecker to peck with.” By now Gerald was a rather eager to get out of his shell and didn’t want to spend too much time growing a super long or complicated beak. Something medium sized that could crack a few nuts and make him more aerodynamic would be just hunky dory. He added a little curve on the end to make it a bit fancier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A short while later it was time for his big entrance out on to the world. Not a day too soon either, despite all of his planning Gerald had found the shell growing more and more snug around his scrunched up little body. He had grown so big his head was stuck in the pointy end of his shell and he was forced to scrape at the shell with the curve on his beak. Chip by chip, a hole in the lumpy bumpy shell began to widen. A large crack ran around the outside and POP!, off came the pointy shell top, well, off from the rest of the shell. Gerald blinked at the dusky light and turned round his head to gaze at what had been his nest for so long. The dunce cap shell perched askew on his enormous head held up by his long reedy neck. He was not impressed by what he saw. This was not the snug nest of straw in a tiny house his mother had been born in, nor was it a crumpled down bed of tall grasses under a shadowy pine, as he remembered from his father. Gerald’s mottled lumpy toad egg was in good company tucked against a half-alive briar bush and only a few waddles away from a murky stream sunk deep with mossy rocks and broken tree limbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noticing the setting sun Gerald decided that with the top popped on his shell he wasn’t nearly uncomfortable enough to get out and try to scramble around in the dark. There was no telling what disreputable creatures might try to take advantage of a youngling like himself. He wiggled a bit to free one of his wings, tucked his beak back down into his shell, and wrapped his wing around his head falling asleep to the sounds of a wondrous, though slightly grimier than expected, world full of unknown adventures.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-TPP&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-2733988410845475082?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/2733988410845475082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/gerald-page-002.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/2733988410845475082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/2733988410845475082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/gerald-page-002.html' title='Gerald Page 002'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-3069612090600537214</id><published>2010-11-25T17:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-25T18:20:27.923-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriMo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriWe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gerald'/><title type='text'>Gerald Page 001</title><content type='html'>There once lived a very small bird in a very small pond on a very small farm in a very small town in a very small kingdom on a very small island on a very VERY large ocean that covered most of a moderately sized planet that circled a rather unimpressive star along with several other floating bits of jetsam and stardust. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bird was born the same way every other bird was excepting the ways in which it was completely different. His shell was not smooth and egg shaped as others were. I suppose it was technically egg shaped in that it was definitely an egg and it had a specific shape.  Instead of the standard egg shape his egg shape was lumpy and came to a point at the thin end. If his egg was an animal it would be a toad wearing a dunce cap. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the longest time after being laid, this very small bird, let’s call him Gerald, just sat curled up inside his dunce cap wearing toad shell and focused all his energy on growing. Once he was mostly bird shaped he stopped to think. As he was inside a rather peculiar shell he couldn’t just grow to fit it. He’ld end up looking like a very silly bird indeed. He didn’t quite know what sort of bird he was going to be, and as not many baby birds get to choose just how they will grow, Gerald knew he had to make very careful decisions about what he would do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gerald pondered and pondered. “Well, since I’m a bird I’m going to need wings to fly, but what kind? “ as he thought he turned over and over in his shell and realized that inside of his shell was sort of like underneath the water. He knew this because inside of his brain there was a little notebook full of many things his mother and father new before they decided to make an egg. His mother and father were very different types of birds as well. They weren’t different from other birds, just from each other. Perhaps this was why Gerald, in his mottled misshaped egg, was so different from all other baby birds in their nice regular shells. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Gerald wiggled his stubby wing shaped armlets around he decided that he was going to spend an awful long time in this shell and when he got out he would probably be sick of floating around in water. “I think the air will be where I want to spend my time, and since I’m such a special kind of bird I should try and see as much of the world as I can. I remember my mother having very pretty wings but not going anywhere outside of her little house and yard. My papa had big strong wings but he only hung around the forests long enough to fatten up and sleep through winter. I think I’ll grow long thin flying wings with extra feathers just in case.” He focused on his little stubby armlets and thought about soaring over the land and seeing all kinds of new creatures and places. Gerald realized he would need really good eyes if he was going to see all those new things from so high, so he thought about those too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once he had a good start on those he kicked the two nubs that stuck out near his bottom. “Hmm, I suppose feet come next. After all, you can’t go on long adventures if you can’t land when you finally get there. Mother had wide flat feet for paddling around in puddles when it rained. Papa had tough gnarled feet for running fast and fighting off vermicious knids. I would like to be able to spend some time in the water, I might miss being so floaty and light. Hmm... but I don’t want to be caught totally off guard if some terrible mean thing tries to make me into dinner. I wonder if there’s a way to mix them together and have tough swimming feet.” Gerald though about all the ways he could combine them. It was hard o figure out. He finally decided that a small swimmers foot with long toes and a spur on the back of his ankle would work best. That way he could have gripping toes and still paddle around if he found a particularly nice puddle or pond. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-TPP&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-3069612090600537214?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/3069612090600537214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/gerald-page-001.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3069612090600537214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3069612090600537214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/gerald-page-001.html' title='Gerald Page 001'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-8515293997889120885</id><published>2010-11-25T16:27:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-25T16:27:58.968-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriMo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriWe'/><title type='text'>First Lines</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

I really admire her. I might make up a list of the people I admire most and why.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alton Brown is a genius when it comes to food science and making it interesting, he's clever, funny, inventive, always learning, and isn't afraid to wear flatulent yeasty sock puppets. He's smart without being pretentious (most of the time) and knows how to have fun and be silly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Michio Kaku makes me want a brain full of numbers. The way he sees the world and what it can be is astounding. His knowledge of the science of what might be makes me impatient for the day when all scifi become reality. Hopefully without the robot uprisings and alien enslavement(us OR them).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sherlock Holmes is a high functioning sociopath and makes no apologies for it. He always knows what's going on and his rooms at baker st, the labs, books, pipe, and so on, Jealous. I want to be a disorganized genius with an encyclopedic knowledge of always the right random facts to know just what's going on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I'm including movies/media i really like because i do what i want! *snksnk* The phantom tollbooth is my favourite book. I love how ridiculous everything is but with a purpose and still a sense of organization/chaos depending on the page. The happy ending, the changed boy who no longer needs a magical world, the puns, OH the PUNS! Love them. The illustrations are great, the imagery fantastic, the distorted mirror of the kings to each other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The secret garden. Matilda. Harriet the spy. Three girl movies I love. The little princess is usually in there, but I think i love it most for the fashion, the transformed bedroom and stories of India. Also for the ending, of course. The secret garden, not the 1970's version, losing all she had and then finding a place of her own for herself and ending up for others as well. Secrets, gardens, animal friends and watching something grow by your own hands. So much the girl/boy/household/uncle=the garden it's silly, but it's still great. Of course it was/is also beautiful to watch. Matilda, classic misunderstood daughter with a special power and love of books eventually finding a family and unconditional love. Triumphing over the unpleasantness with kindness and good schemes. Special box of chocolates, shot put, javelin, and hammer throw. Harriet the spy I'm wobbly on, she had great schemes, but usually misunderstood things and ended up in trouble. I admire her friendships and how she could be so inquisitive but not harsh about it (despite the journal, there was not so much intended cruelty). I love the scene in the artist's garden. Everyone ends up learning something and how, eventually, you have to grow up and learn about consequences and to take control of your own actions in life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Willy Wonka. All of it. from the opening credits to the soaring elevator over the town. Every. Damn. Scene. I'm, of course, referring to the Gene Wilder version. I also find it cute how the blog it trying to tell me Wonka is a misspelling. Silly Blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also like the idea of a wife more that a husband, in the gender and the role aspects. A wife I see as more of a companion and a friend. Husband seems like a trial and has a tinge of servitude. I'm not arguing these as one line definitions, just my impressions of them right now. When i think of coming home to a house where i live with my moppet headed cheerful wife and adopted child it feels like a happy scene, when I change the genders and it's a relationship born child there's a heaviness to the image. One is in the yard and there's sun and another is in a house with poor lighting, type of thing. Either way I'm done with dating sites, random dates, and hooking up. Going back to, well i was going to say "date from my friends" but i don't want to date. I've just as much interest in the others as beautiful interesting creatures i want to find more about, but i don't want to sleep with them, usually. I'm sick of being uncomfortable on dates because i know their main goal is in my pants. This isn't just impressions, this is hardcore innuendo from the get go and creeping like a creeper with creepy talk. I don't have the rampant sex drive that many others have and I'm fine with that. I dont feel the need to 'fix' it or change. I'm not always low sexdrive mode in my life and dont fear it'll leave me frigid. Just a thing i feel now, like a non issue resolve. I also dont like to be touched by strangers, so when someone, on a first date or second, touches me, or hugs, or tries to 'get all up on that' i feel like I should vomit on them to get my point across. Telling people no directly doesnt seem to work a lot of the time. Maybe I should cut back on the "balls" jokes. Apparently making "that's what she said" jokes means I want to put their genitalia in/around myself. This is not a truth. People, make a note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI I typed the first few sentences, then wrote the second topic section, then went back to the first bit. higher not to end on Willy Wonka rather than 'keep your willy away from me'. But both are important parts of my brain, one is just more joyful. *imagines the opening scenes of the old candy factories in production* Man... now i want a Wonka Bar. I know it's just chocolate and Graham cracker but it's bloody delicious. I also love Iron&amp;amp;Wine so danged much right now. I'm going to go listen to them and sleep, maybe word vomit again if the mood strikes. Be excellent to each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-GGG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-3317535012512089133?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/3317535012512089133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/late-night-brains.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3317535012512089133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/3317535012512089133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/late-night-brains.html' title='Late Night Brains'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-7694548015329093854</id><published>2010-11-01T15:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-01T15:02:49.724-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriMo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='update'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story time'/><title type='text'>Update 001</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;Science had stalled. There hadn’t been a new scientific break through in the field of biology, botany, chemistry, or any of the medical science fields for nearly half a decade. Until a new form of high yield energy producing substance or engine was discovered or created, there wouldn’t be. All the newest and most interesting theories were determinant on long term mutational evolution, tests done under light speed environments, influx energy bursts from the creation and/or destruction of parallel universes, high pressure ships, and anti matter delineations. There were still diseases, plague, famine, war, and reality television, but no foreseeable way to stop any of them. The scientific community as a whole seemed to be fed up with waiting and some organizations decided to go back to the old ways. The Candaguile Foundation was created to fund scientists and scholars to go back over old medicines and techniques with modern equipment to see if there had been a path not taken or overlooked. This proved fruitful as many things that had been impossible with then technology were quite easily solved with the speed of new computers and now commonplace scientific practices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One such newly discovered ‘old’ path was that of filling in the missing genomes of the Hickory Review Database. The HRD was a collection of all known genetic structures and DNA imprints of every found creature, plant, and organic substance on earth. The Candaguile Foundation began to find large gaps in the patterns of code. There were several evolutionary stages missing across the database. The causes for certain anomalies and skills were unknown and, though now much better equipped than their predecessors, modern man was unable to fill in these jumps in the laboratories.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;-GGG &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3309440872760728975-7694548015329093854?l=theposhpanda.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/feeds/7694548015329093854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/update-001.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/7694548015329093854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3309440872760728975/posts/default/7694548015329093854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theposhpanda.blogspot.com/2010/11/update-001.html' title='Update 001'/><author><name>AlandraD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07188908581193685602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w_clEKZVdNA/St_X_CPknXI/AAAAAAAAANg/OsweXWRq_9I/S220/alphabet+-+posh+panda+jpeg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309440872760728975.post-7572537450040876337</id><published>2010-11-01T14:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-01T14:05:31.986-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaNoWriMo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mr McGiggins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story time'/><title type='text'>Title&amp;plot</title><content type='html'>The Title and vagueish plot as written.
