Weekend reach-around

[scarlettina]

It was such a busy weekend that I didn't get to journal any of it in real time. I took some time yesterday and today to blog through the whole thing. I did such cool stuff this weekend that I wanted to share it, so I'm taking a page from jaylake and creating a reach-around post in case anyone's interested. Here are the links:

Friday night: A look into a 21st century project to create a handmade illuminated bible

Saturday: Answering phones for KUOW's spring pledge drive. I blogged the experience in real time on my PDA and uploaded it Sunday night.

Sunday: Attending the "Rome from the Louvre" exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum.

Sounds like you'd also be interested in the piece I heard Saturday on NPR -- Margot Adler talking to an artist who runs an atelier teaching apprentices the art of illumination.

I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!

With Jay, and now you, when I hear the term "weekend reach-around" all I can think of is the quote from Full Metal Jacket:

I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.

Charming.

I found it amazing to read that those lines weren't even scripted – the actor (also a real-life military instructor) improvised it all.
