Sock Monkey’s Supercoaster Construction Game

I finally finished Sock Monkey’s Roller Coaster game. It’s not exactly a game. It’s in the same genre with LineRider and Pencil, though far less complicated. Basically, you make a squiggle on the screen and it becomes a roller coaster for Sock Monkey, Blue Pig, Froggie and Miss Bunn to ride.

Tuesday Mourning has the holiday spirit!

Tuesday Mourning the FANTASTIC illustrator who did the cover four next book, “Stonewall Hinkleman,” is giving away two incredible gifts/prizes.

First, a portrait of anyone you wish. Her nifty little portraits are simply splendid! I would be torn between getting one of a loved one or getting her to do me a little drawing of Stonewall.

The other prize is a portrait of a whole family. To enter that contest, you have to link to the contests, as I am doing here. By my calculations, within 53 hours the entire Internet will be noting but links to Tuesday Mourning’s page. Very clever.

Big Blog News – Pinkwater interview coming

Yes, folks, I have secured another audience with the Man Himself, Daniel Manus Pinkwater, for the upcoming “Avocado of Death Week.”

In case he didn’t want to do it, I decided to ask him before making a list of questions. I sent off the email and KAPOW I get a response back saying “send it NOW.” Did he mean “now” like right this minute? I typed up my questions pronto clicked send and went about my business. I came back to the computer two hours later to see that the message had not gone through. I had missed the NOW!

So I sent it anyway and KAPOW it comes right back with answers. The man is a) a speed typist and b) terrifying. Once again I’ll have to hope that his terse answers are Eastern European wit and not personal animosity.

Though his answers are short, they are interesting enough that I’ll probably break them up into several posts. 

Meanwhile, I’m halfway through listening to him read The Snarkout Boys and The Avocado of Death. If you haven’t read it and especially if you HAVE read it, you need to hear him read it. Best of all it’s free on www.pinkwater.com. 

Go ahead and listen so you’ll be ready for a whole week in honor of this unhinged masterpiece!
