It's a Wednesday?

Bwuahahaha! Return of the moose statue!!
ummmm
I'm sorry I had to. It seems I have at last embraced the town spirit of obsessing over moose. So anyways, on to other subjects before this turns into a blog about moose...........

Well now I'm at a total loss as to what to write! I can't blog about the weather, did that last time. And I can't blog about moose AGAIN (not yet anyway). So, oh I know! One time, two blog posts ago, the What to Say post, I mentioned I had an idea as to what I should blog about!!

Well, that would have had to have been (wow mouthful) SHERLOCK!!! Aka, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!! Yes I'm sorry, I had to do at least one post about one of my favorite shows, albeit I don't watch many. On a side note, isn't the word albeit wonderful? Sorry word nerd over here. Anyhow, I have only one thing to say about this show, well one that I can display via picture.

And yes, I do adore this show. I also have read just about every sherlock story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each story is an enticing mystery that I can't help but read. Granted, there are a few that aren't as good as the others, but they are fabulous all the same.

Some fun facts of the day: The methods Sherlock uses to solve crimes were actually used in England for a time by medical practitioners and others. Also, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not like the character Sherlock, but was pressured into writing the stories. Spoiler Alert - that is the reason as to why Sherlock "died" at the end of the first volume. However, so many fans were outraged that he had to continue the series. He also published the books at around the time of Jack the Ripper, the reason as to why he created a crime solving hero.

Wow, I apologize. I tend to stray from topics quite quickly. It's a problem, I know and I'm sorry. I have a very short attention span, which teachers don't seem to understand, so anyway back to Sherlock before I go off on a rant!

So if you haven't already recognized the actors, you should have. On the left we have Benedict Cumberbatch who acts in Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hobbit as the voice of Smaug, August: Osage County, and many don't know this...but in War Horse.

Now, on the right we have Martin Freeman. Acclaimed for acting as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. Also acts in The Office apparently, The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and others.

Anyhow, this TV Show is a must see!! I won't go into details, because I don't want to give anything away, which tends to happen on occasions.....

For more information on actors, I recommend this cool  blog by a friend of mine!

Anyhow, who else likes these wind instruments/mechanisms (for lack of a better word)

These metal contraptions bend to the winds demands, swirling and twirling on a good day. Can be quite mesmerizing at times. Just like those spin-fan thing-a-ma-bobbers we always played with as children. Yeah, you know, the rainbow colored ones. The toys that made kids puff up their cheeks like a puffer fish and blow with all their might until they got the wheel to spin. Remember those things? Well here's a friendly reminder.

Starting to ring a bell? Well it should.

Good gracious, I actually wrote real words and posted on a day other than Friday! I must be feeling quite gracious! 

P.S
Don't get used to it. This is probably a first and a last time I will actually post this early. We shall see though
