lucky beasts

It seems that monkeys aren't the only animals that may be fortunate for us this year, writing-wise.

Again, it's too early to be certain, but another animated property, this time in 2D animation, may be in the future.

The concept is hilarious, instantly charming Nikki and myself, and the challenge will be to bring it all to life - in a full season of 26 halfs.

We'll see.

We've made the arrangements for a Winnie the Pooh-themed party when Sage turns 2 next week.

The thing to keep in mind when planning a party like this is that each child you invite will be accompanied by either nanny or at least one parent, effectively doubling the amount of food you need to prepare.

We originally thought of having the celebration on the roofdeck, but opted in the end to outsource it (amazing how business practices slips into personal life).

We'll be doing the major gift-buying for the little girl over the weekend - without the pony.

Or fortune lobsters. (Hmm. Now that's an interesting animated property to pitch - "The Luckiest Lobster in the World", a magic realist comedy slanted towards children.)
