Life after high school?

Let us purport that the onset of "school spirit" and proms may have initiated many neuroses and/or maladjustments in America. There are so many instances where people with addictions, failures, and life-long trauma blame the modern high school atmosphere with ruining their lives (and by association--the lives of others). For instance, the slightly gangly guy of moderate intelligence might feel that he can't be classified as successful unless his girlfriend is a member of the Homecoming Court,or the "she" of the previously described, is less of a person if her "man" isn't a jock.

Clearly, the muses need to assign inspiration for the upcoming generations so that they can avoid such uninspired excuses for turning into sociopaths.

Thank a muse

If you are lucky enough to prepare or be presented with a truly unique dish for your thanksgiving dinner, be sure to thank at least one of the muses. Most of the world will be buried in family traditions, including meals. The muse of sacred poetry, must have been involved with that. We are not sure whether Polyhymnia or Melpomene should get the credit/shame for today's stagnant meal traditions. Polyhymnia may have mixed up the "sacred" part with "redundant." Oops, the MuseForce is spouting heresy.

Of course, we know that we must be thankful for any food, but we are a bit spoiled at the MuseForce.

Seeking Thanksgiving Muse

Some members of MuseForce desparately need one of the muses (maybe even Calliope) to inspire them. One of the least creative times of any year begins with this week. There are a mountain of Scrooge remakes, heartwarming remakes, tear-jerking remakes of old stories. Nothing new. Even commercials on TV are remakes.

Is it true that commercialism must take center stage? If so, we are all for that if it means good jobs, good money, good times. We will inspire creativity later . . .

Oyster lovers relax

Resting assured that their pre-gumbo appetizers, or their New Years Eve main courses will continue to taste like real food, the raw oyster lovers have pulled in a victory. Even with a slight risk, the muses know they are immortal.

Crazy Animation

The ultimate animation collaboration.  Not sure which muse inspired this one:  We watch this one over and over and over . . .

What inspires the muses?

Veterans.  

The muses salute you and your families, and thank you for allowing our imaginations to run free!

Muse Crafts

Sneaky paparazzi grabbed this photo. This is what the muses do during their gumbo weekends at Grand Isle. (We already knew about their passion for shoes as inspired by the Rustitilians).  If the common folk are lucky, they may be able to get some originals at the Krewe of Muses Parade in New Orleans this year. Nice work muses!

Paparazzi Update

Rumors abound that the muses and the MuseForce are holding a conclave. Deliveries of crabs, shrimp, and ingredients for the holy trinity have been arriving by pirogue since Thursday. Also noted, boats loaded with raw oysters have slid in and out of the landing near the muses' camp in Grand Isle. Some astute reporters smell a roux, too. Looks like the muses will be out of touch for the weekend!

Muse 10 is fond of numbers

Numbers can be quite inspiring when left to their own devices. For instance, the number 92 is the atomic number of uranium which is the only element named after Urania, who incidentally is also the only muse in charge of a science (astronomy). Needless to say, Muse 10 (also a number) is quite delighted with such ponderings. 92 should be inspiring to everyone. Is there any other significance to 92? Be sure to let Muse 10 know.
