Wife walks into closet and comes out 10 min. later w/ a puzzled look on her face and says, "I don't remember you having all this Iron Heart. Maybe, I don't need to find another job. Just stop buying all this stuff". DOH!!!!!
Whoops…...

Of Course it's not IH.UK's fault. Who says I have to live among eskimoes, penguins, polarbears and lapplanders...not to mention other cabin fevered finns who haven't seen sun in ages.

my rant: I am annoyed by poorly written children's books
This. My son likes one about the 3 Little Pigs that usually rhymes, but occasionally doesn't. Totally throws me off when I read it to him. The author also doesn't understand rhythm, so the flow is all jacked up. I hate reading it, but he likes it, so…

actually glad you brought this back up. was thinking of trying to write a children's book since most i read i really hate.
my daughter likes cinderalla/princess stories & all that, but for the most part they are just sexist b$ that reinforces gender roles. also want a book where the step parents aren't frecking evil
yeah i've given this way too much thought, but it's funny the things that actually shape personality & opinion & all that.
maybe it'll be a project for the new year . . . .

I did this as a project at the end of high school. It was a rhyming story about a dragon, etc. Basic idea was that you don't have to follow precedents if they are stupid. I illustrated it too.
Unforunately, I am quite sure I could not find it. My mom probably has it.

I have a theory about writers of children's books which also applies to children's music
(and more loosely applies to niche music categories like modern country and christian rock)
most of these people initially intended to/would much rather write books/perform music for adults in the mainstream
but they're just too damn stupid/untalented
you know those damn wiggles wanted to be rock stars when they were in college
when you come across well done stuff for kids it's refreshing
the barenaked ladies did a kids album we enjoy
my current favorite books are the fancy nancy series
yeah I said it

llama, llama is my little dude cause he got a single mom & he is always in some sh!t. i also like the kid with the bad teeth that has to stay after school & is always in trouble.
