you know,

this:

I mean,

obviously,

right?

But

perhaps you didn't know

that the fabulous

MRS. WARBURTON

(aka Meg Gallagher)

just so happens to be a 

sooper famous personal stylist.

And sometimes she lets me be seen 

amongst the fashionable people.

Why, just the other night

we went to the opening of

the new flagship store for

The Left Shoe Company!

We had such a great time that

I wrote about it on her blog

(when she wasn't looking)

Check out

And don't be shy to sign up for her e-mail blasts

to receive all manner of fashion tips.

Some of you could use the help.

SONIA AND THE PIGEON

Okay...

Take this adorable 3.5 year old...

Give her this...

And that'll keep her busy for

TEN DAYS!

Our child just finished a 10-day long obsession with one of her Christmas presents.... 

During that time, she watched less TV, her scissor skills skyrocketed, 

her ability to write her own name improved, 

and she discovered that she is pretty darn good at drawing pigeons.  

What is this gift I'm raving about?  

An activity book by Mo Willems called 

Don't Let the Pigeon Finish This Activity Book!,

 which is related to a hilarious series of picture books 

about an ornery Pigeon with big dreams.

For 

LOTS

more

say

ANIMATION BLOGS ON A ROLL

So you say you like animation?

And you say you like READING about animation?

And you also say
(because you never shut up)
that you love reading BLOGS about animation?

Well, you're talking WAY TOO LOUD because Mr. David Levy heard you all the way out in NYC.

Yeah, THAT David Levy.
The former ASIFA-EAST President-For-Life who, like all evil dictators, eventually find themselves run out of office on a rail.

Not that I had anything to do with it.
Because I love the guy.
How could I NOT when he puts together a list of animation blogs he likes and says this about mine:


The overgrown kid known as Mr. Warburton has achieved a lot in his 20-year (and counting) career (note the page above from his first job hunt journal heralding his hire at Buzzco). Once the poster child of NY animation success (going from employment at studios from Buzzco to J.J. Sedelmaier to creating and producing his own long-running series for Cartoon Network), he has since packed up to reboot his career in L.A., currently supervising retakes for the Disney TV series “Fish Hooks.” Despite his level of achievement, Mr. Warburton’s blog somehow manages to feel like the fresh enthusiastic observations of someone just starting out. This is a man appreciating life working in a field he loves.

First, who's he calling overgrown?

And second, Mr. Levy goes on to mention a blunch of other sooper fun blogs like Pat Smith and Bill Plympton's SCRIBBLE JUNKIES, the prolific FREDERATOR and indie soopuh stars THE RAUCH BROS.

It's a very nice list, but he neglects to mention his own blog ANIMONDAYS,
which is a must for anyone wanting to learn about what it's like being on the front lines of the animation industry.

With all your blathering about how much you heart animation,
it's kind of your duty to check it out over HERE, right?

I WISH MY JAPANESE WAS BETTER!

I love finding stuff like this.


A sooper awesome fan in Japan has a sooper awesome blog that's
heavy on the KND.
Especially Numbuh Two!

She goes by the name LonLon.
And she kinda looks like this:


I love her blog, but:

Zannen desu ga, watashi no nihongo wa heta ni narimashita.
Takusan wakarimasen!

In other words, my Japanese has gotten lousy.
But you don't need to understand Japanese to stroll the blog and look at the pretty pictures.













REALLY fun stuff, right?

And there's WAY MORE!

Check out the blog over HERE!

Arigatou Gozaimasu, LonLon-san!
Subarashii yo!

GO KILMER GO!

So how could I possibly invoke this book:


...while at the same time talking about this?

He's just getting started so get in on the ground floor and read up on what he has to say over HERE.
