FAT
Too many artistical egos working on one project without a clear lead is like trying to steer a boat with two captains. Great ideas of where to go, what to do, pop up all the time but it is unclear whether all the suggested pathes will unite in a rounded project final. Peter Brooks said you have to have the courage to keep walking the jitterbug untill suddenly a meaning becomes visible. Pulling the brake too early just for securing your everyday by setting the concept may not eventually serve the concept.
Still I find a little more direction and a little less trying to throw all kinds of spices in would be a plus.
I had to be thinking about the saying "Too many cooks spoil the broth" yesterday after a long meeting with colleagues and thought I could twist it for this weeks IF entry.
Too bad my own artist ego is big enough that I was over-talking like hell. Today my voice is a sheer husk and I cannot even answer the phone unless someone finds it attractive to listen to whispers and rattlings.
To lube the vocal chords my friend tells me to drink lotsa hot water with olive oil.
How ironic...
PS: I read about this project in the newspaper today and thought it was well related to the topic. I just love people who literally start walking towards their goal, I guess you can tell by now :)
PSS: Yes, I am the bummer who didn´t realise in order to be uploaded your thumbnail has to be a jpg and not a gif. And I thought I was so clever, sigh.

Fabulous idea. Interesting details. :o)
I love your post, even if your ego is big. :-) You should try the nude thing, it is very liberating!
your illos are just so cool!
I can't think of anything as witty as Scarecrow...but I always think icecream is good for a sore throat or maybe get an iced latte.
Treat yourself - you deserve it!
As ever loving the quirkiness, the disgruntled chefs and their strange brew! Hope your throat heals soon!
Thank you Majane!
Scarecrow, you are having me roll over of laughter! That was a blast! I didn´t know what the word jitterbug would tickle in you, but I noticed you like things zigzagged :o)
Rrramone, perhaps I could handle the liberating nude thing with my big ego, or at least dress in it like the King without Clothes!
Joy, thank you, ideas for curing my throat are welcome! I think I try the ice-cream because that´s in the house. Anything I have to order over the counter (like the latte) will just be an embarrassment. I could go using a slip of paper though... This will be my second "mute" day, a whole new situation to me!
Scribblesk, you are right, these chefs are disgruntled and we better not try what they brewed! Thanks for the good wishes!
1) I basically agree w/ you about too many artistic egos involved in something...a bloody mess!
2) about vocal cords and throat, try grated fresh ginger in hot water...
3)cool, effective and smart take of the topic, as usual...:)
I agree with you about having too many people invloved in projects, especially when there's little direction. Honestly - I prefer to work on my own! I love your little cartoon...and i love the story about the fat man walking towards his goal. Hope your throat feels better soon...maybe you should just be quiet for a day or two (easier said than done, I know) :>
Scarecrow, thanks for investigating into the matter, I stuck with the ice-cream and had two portions already. Its the perfect excuse to point to ones throat and whisper: I eat it for health reasons!
Aynaku, you are too sweet, and grated fresh ginger sounds terrific!
Carla, this is my second day of silence and while I love being silent (infact I consider the Ed Muskie way of "only speak when you can improve of silence" a classic), it is hard if you are supposed to be dealing with urgent matters. Thankfully there is Email!
Great illo! A single bad cook can spoil the broth too, lol. Trust me, I've done it many times.
Hope you feel better soon. Try some lemon tea.
a.
great idea! fat egos and all... hope your throat gets better!
A very important subject, the eternal fight of the egos looking for to gain... some are very, very fat and have legs.
I hope that your voice is cured soon, at least we are lucky because you don´t need it to write post (Sorry! this it must have written my big ego :) )
