Week's End Miscellany #3

It's time for another segment of Week's End Miscellany, brought to you in part this week by our sponsors Water Water Everywhere, Boba Fett's Jeans, and Papercuts. The week's been busy, but I've managed to finish all my work at the MLC. Also, there was a seat left for the class next week, so I'll be taking my first work-related trip soon, leaving out over the weekend and returning Wednesday. Now, the miscellany.

#1. This link is to an amazing artist at 6 years of age. He does watercolors, and they are amazing.

#2. I stayed up late last night. William came over and we played Stratego.

#3. I bought Wii Sports Resort yesterday, and so far it's been enjoyable.

#4. Not only is this the Week's End Miscellany post, but it happens to be today the Month's End Miscellany post #1. That means that I should make it super-ultra special.

#5. I'm on #141 Paris in the Morning, by Joe Purdy, on the iPod quest. For those of you that don't know who Joe Purdy is, you're very seriously missing out. You can go to his website here and listen to all of his albums. He's a truly independent artist making fame bend under his amazing talent. Or you can read a post I did on him a while back.

#6. I'm reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell right now. I've owned the book for a while, but it's just been sitting on the shelf. And, since I don't have Before They Are Hanged yet, I needed something to do. JS&MN is utterly amazing so far. It received critical acclaim (even by Neil Gaiman!) and I'm really liking it.

#7. I was going through some old pictures to find one to attach to my bio for work, and I found some cool pictures. This one is from when I was a young lad, with curiosity and mystery filled eyes and really red hair.

That's all the time we have for this episode of Week's End Miscellany. Hope you've enjoyed it. Remember, the Weekend Special will be out again tomorrow. It's the chance for you to comment on whatever you're currently reading and give your opinion. Or video game you're playing. Or movie you're watching. Or philologist you're currently studying. Or whatever. It's all open. It's a democracy, after all, ran only by the Supreme Chief Overlord and Blogmaster General logankstewart.

Have a good weekend everyone. It's now okay to let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
