Art is a good ending to a long day

[theatokos]

Today has been a good, but long day. Adam left for Mew Mexico in the wee hours. I rode my bike to work, the first time in a week I think. My fitness is dying; the bike ride was hard. Productive at work. Have suffered from a head ache all day long. I have been sitting in silence, eating the curry I made, reading Mouse Guard. Adam buys the individual issues, but the collected book is worth getting your hands on. It is so beautiful. The dialog is minimal, but the art tells the story. Mice, the middle ages, etc. Plus, the book has maps and information about the life of mice - at least, if mice lived like people in the middle ages. Beautiful stuff. Check out the website. You can even read it online!

Now to make some phone calls and put myself in bed by 8 o'clock. This headache just won't quit.

Oh how I love thee, Medieval Mice!

This was sooo cute. Especially since I just took Medieval Art History this semester. Yay for a 5 pager on Gothic Cathedrals :)

Did you like the illuminated manuscript stuff too? I thought that was super.

YES! Man, how about the Book of Kells? It doesn't even seem humanly possible!
