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

What to Say

Well, just beforehand, I apologize to any of you out there who are uncomfortable with the use of profanity.

And this is why I love where I live! No more signs saying you will pay a 300 dollar fine or whatever, just this painted on the sidewalk. Lovely really. In all truths I was overjoyed when I saw this, and I do hope it is self-explanatory. People's expressions though, pretty fantastic.

Cause honestly, people really need to pick up after their dogs. I don't care if it's winter, or mud season and there is snow on the ground. Come spring, all that dog crap will still be there. And it is disgusting. So please use common sense, albeit common sense isn't very common these days.

So on a different note, who else had finals this week? End of the quarter was this week, well at least for me it was. Anyone else upset with teachers for unfair grades? Yeah, I hear ya. 

So at the beginning of the school year, it's an internal groan. The start of school signifies work after school, whether it be busywork or not is irrelevant...it's still work. However, there is always the plus factor of being able to see friends once again. Then you progress into the second quarter, the real indication that you are trapped. Trapped in a world of nondescript walls, monotonous voices, tests, and more. Then comes third quarter, or the end of it. This signifies we are more than half way through the school year, unfortunately it also means CRT's, ACT's, SAT's, all of those lovely tests. Who else is excited? *please note sarcasm* But eventually they will end, as will fourth quarter, and we can once again return to our home worlds of summer. Meaning lazy days, sleeping in, travelling the world, visiting family, sports galore, chilling with friends, and so much more.

Wow, I must really be in a good mood if I wrote this much. And I still feel as if I have more to say. The real question is however, should I say it? ........Yes.......No....... Nah, come on guys that's too mainstream. The answer every time is MAYBE. Honestly, the word works in just about every situation! And truth be told, it is a steadfast way in which to annoy and avoid someone or something. It is truly a magical word.

Well, those are just some perfect things to say when stumped or frustrated. Oh and please don't forget my favorite:

Well New Idea for Next Blog

Well, Bon Weekend (and yes that's French the 'end' in Weekend is pronounced like 'and' with a British accent) and thanks again for actually reading this crazy stuff!

Epiphany!

Alright, straight to the point. So I have continuously said that the art I post about is street art, which then lead to it being outdoor art. First off, sorry about all the confusion I honestly have no idea whatsoever what to blog about.
Anyways, I realized that half of the art I blogged about was public art and once again outdoor art. Simply that, it's sad that I only just figured that out. Oh well, for the rest of this blog post I guess.

So on my way over to Orchestra one day, I managed to find this.

Ice!

If you can't tell it's a piece of ice. Truly exquisite as it looks as if there are trees caught within the crystal structure. Well at least I find it beautiful. After finding the chunk of ice, and realizing how cold I was, I continued my journey to the orchestra class that happens to be located in a different building. Well as I walked I realized how privileged I am to live where I do. The beauty really does take your breath away at times. People just take it for granted. And I know I sound like a total tourist for saying that, but I can enjoy beauty too can't I?

So how was everyone's holiday? Hope it was well! I spent time with family as I hope you all got to do. This resulted in my attendance of a play at the Ford's Theater Washington D.C! I attended the performance of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. They did a magnificent job!

I sat under and diagonal from the balcony in which Abraham Lincoln was shot. To this day no one has sat in that box, or approached the seat. They have historical tours of course, you can even go across the street to where doctors tried to save him. It truly is fascinating, all that history within a block. 

The Seat

Note, please check out these blogs! They are the coolest! I will be listing more each week. Some are quite entertaining. 

So I really am sorry that my posts are so boring, and don't lie, I know they are. Once again I really don't know what to write about!!! So in the end I decided that each post will just be a random assortment of questions and facts about society, history, and sciences. A very wide variety of topics, but hopefully the posts will be more interesting.
