When my voice grows strident,
When I feel important--
I'm reminded of the kindness
And where I'd be without it.
I'm learning my lessons
It may take me a lifetime.
Give me strength to justify my being,
And show someone the kindness shown to me.
Todd Rundgren
I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget your own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
(Take your hands off my land)
Credit me with some intelligence
(if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten
(in five varieties)
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
I see you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear
Porcupine Tree Piano Lessons
As Lesson 2 rolled around the amount of drama dwindled as the girls concentrated on creating family films to appeal to a wider audience.
The judges were disappointed as it seemed the girls all were fairly lackluster in this challenge. However Dotti's bold move of doing "Maxine: The Movie" earned her praise and for the second week in a row Pinkie and Kaitlyn were in the top three. While Summer, Sy'Rai and Angelique found themselves in the bottom three.
Kaitlyn won the challenge and received immunity as well as a prize for her hard work. Surprisingly no one was expelled since Lorelei and Marielle abruptly dropped out of Star School.

As lesson six rolled around the girls were to come up with Signature Scents. Devin, Pinkie and Sy'Rai's scents got top praise from the judges. While Kaitlyn, Maddie and Nikki fell into the bottom three. However things got heated at the eliminations as the girls questioned the judges choices and of all people, Victoria snapped at the judges and read them cover to cover. Fed up with her attitude, Sabrina shocked everyone by eliminating Victoria and bringing the group of nine down to just seven.

Seven girls remain. Who will be expelled next?
For Lesson 3 the girls were made the faces of the Red Hot Martini by FABsolut.
Maddie, Angelique and Dotti found themselves on top with the best ads. While Summer, Sy'Rai and Victoria were deemed the worst of the lesson.
Drama ensued as the girls went in on each others Martini ads. Ultimately it was Maddie who received the most praise and passed with flying colors. But Summer's hap-hazard entry and lack of brand placement got her sent home.

Lois was the last one I had to shoot for the day. And since she had nothing on after, and because I didn’t have a time limit to work within after her shoot, we decided to have more fun with the makeup we put together.
Lessons we’ve learnt today:
1)Red food dye stains your skin pretty bad, not to mention contact lenses.
2)Ground coffee makes an excellent alternative to soil. It made my hands smell good too.
3)We tend to scare ourselves with our overactive imaginations, especially when trying out different shots with the makeup she had on.
4)I remember now why I always say I love working with theatre actors the most, they give you almost anything you ask for flawlessly.
5)Lois and I are like cool bananas and awesome sauce put together, we had a whole heap of fun.
Dear Rajashree, Sheena and Lois, you girls are fantastic and I’m so glad you are willing to go through this craziness for me. Thanks to you guys I’ve gotten enough material to work on with the shoots over the weekend, though it was done seemingly rushed.
This isn’t part of the series but Lois and I loved it so much we had to share.

Wiki was helpful this morning in illustrating what an authentic cat looks like. And then she did her meercat imitation as a bonus. Accept no substitutes.

In this work of art, Kees Verkade has nicely depicted the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson. The power of the pushing father speaks from his stooped posture and big step. The small child barely holds the handlebars of the bicycle with the big wheels. The traces of the sculpturing by Verkade are still clearly visible in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character of the work.
It is a fragile and vulnerable image, with a history of disappearance and destruction.

--------------------
Kees Verkade heeft in dit kunstwerk de dynamiek en wankele beweeglijkheid van een fietsles goed verbeeld. De kracht van de duwende vader spreekt uit zijn voorovergebogen houding en grote stap. Het kleine kind houdt het stuur van de fiets met de grote wielen maar nauwelijks in bedwang. In het gegoten brons zijn de sporen van de boetserende Verkade nog duidelijk te zien, wat bijdraagt aan het dynamische karakter van het werk.
Het is een fragiel en kwetsbaar beeld, dat een geschiedenis van verdwijning en vernieling kent.

When we went to the cemetary today to clean my grandparents grave, my daughter picked up the flying dandelion and for a fragile moment, it just set there, before it went on its way...
Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name
It is sailing to the middle of the sea
The water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen
...Jump right in and swim until you freeze
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
But when the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting
For that cold long promsie to appear
People in the churches started singing above their hands
They say "My God is a good God and he cares"
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
When the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
I've got a plan
I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons that I've learned

Marble is teaching Phillip the finer things in life....how to blow a bubble. FIrst you must choose the correct size piece. Next, you must chew it till it is nice and rubbery and sticky spit covers your face. Third take it out of your mouth and stretch it flat with your two hands. Fourth, put it back in your mouth, but swallow all of your spit first. Fifth, push it against your teeth with your tongue and then move your tongue then blow super hard. Don't forget to make a circle with your lips so the bubble can escape a little bit.
Stay tuned to see how this goes!
