The 411

Chatty classmates, I must say I am impressed by the new posts and comments around our little BLOGOSPHERE. I was off the grid, to say the least, but now I am back.
My shell is complete, it is pretty legitimate, the fact that I can "hear the ocean" helps. 
I made a siren whistle directly after, complicated, and worth the beautiful outcome. Her high pitch is exactly what I was aiming for...less Little Mermaid and more Pirates of the Caribbean or even Peter Pan. 


Aunt Josie is turning the big 9-0. Her card is on the way out and I am mauling my way through what she last sent in. A book on the "relations of neurology and emotions." New York Times Bestseller and all. After struggling through the introduction of bragging rights the author has, it's been OVER a month and no progress can be reported. I abide by the "don't judge a book by it's cover" rule even if this book is blatantly a "self-help" book. Great protagonists have that moment of uncertainty. 
However, This book LOOSELY translates to an Edna Mode slap upside the head. I will continue staring at it and keep you updated.

    I love the Siren Whistle you made. If a whistle were to take any shape, I think a siren is the best.

    I love self-help books... more for the way the author is using psychology to provide the 'help'. What is the book supposed to be teaching?

    Thank you Kyle, you should hear it! The book seems targeted towards helping individuals figure out their "emotional fingerprint" which is composed of six areas: resilience, outlook, social intuition, self-awareness, sensitivity to context and attention. After the reader figures out their emotional footprint, they are "empowered" to change the way they see themselves and others and to change anything they do not like through the ideas suggested in the book.

    Maybe a slap up-side the head is exactly what the protagonist needs, or maybe the protagonist is doing the slapping. Either way sounds like a violent self help book. lol
