OWL Mailbag #40

Hi all. The week’s winding down here at the OWL office and I finally have some time to spend on the blog. (Yay!) To thank you for all the questions you’ve been sending lately, I will now answer them. Good deal, huh?

On to the questions!

Q: Ever though I am 13, is it okay if I get OWL next year? Please answer any time!
— Marissa

CB: Hi Marissa. Thanks for the question. My answer is “Of course!” I know I’m biased, but I love reading what we come up with for OWL every month, and I’m a lot older than 13! I mean, who doesn’t like reading cool comics and fun facts? Who doesn’t like awesome puzzles and contests? Nobody!

Q: Craig, have you ever worn a dress??????
— Lorena

CB: Yes. On Halloween once a few years back. Suffice to say, it was pretty tough finding something in my size!

Q:  I was wondering if you could do a movie review about The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and/or Charlie St. Cloud?
— Madeleine

CB: Your wish is my command, Madeleine! I don’t know too much about Charlie, but I’ll try to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice this weekend so I can talk about it next week!

In other news, I’m also seeing a preview of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore tomorrow. Here’s the trailer:

Early thoughts? Anyone?

Q: What do you do during the summer?
— Midori

CB: Great question! As you can see by the last questions, I see movies! I also like to get a lot of reading done and play a lot of outdoor sports — Ultimate, softball, basketball, you name it.

Q: How often do you check the OWL blog? And what if you’re on holidays or somewhere where you can’t check it… what do you do?
— Mary

CB: Hi Mary. Great question! I check the blog almost as often as I check my email, which is a lot! When I’m on vacation I don’t get to check it as much as I’d like, but that’s when OWL’s assistant editor Kendra jumps in to help me out. By the way: thanks, Kendra!

Q: Craig what time do you wake up? Also, are you a night or morning person?
— Mara

CB: Hi Mara. On work days I usually get up around 7:00. That gets me into the OWL office early and ready for whatever comes up! As for whether I’m a night or a morning person, it really depends on the day. Sometimes I’m both!

What about you guys? Night people? Morning people?

And that’s it for me, all! Thanks as always for the questions, and make sure to keep them coming. Have any questions about OWL? Want to make a suggestion? Drop me a line in the comments or at the email address below!

Also, don’t forget to take our annual Back Talk survey. You could win a cool prize!
