Sunday...

It's as if all the rain we haven't had in the past two months is all happening right now.

Which is really sort of gorgeous.

Carved creatures...

I found an interesting article online about unusual carvings in a medieval church: 'Forgotten' grotesques discovered in medieval church. But none of the articles on the subject talked about the approximate age of the carvings, or of the church.

To a local, I suppose it would be obvious whether the church was, say, Anglo-Saxon, or 15th century. I'd guess that kind of carving was more typical of the 13th or 14th century. I wish they'd said.

Fleeting fame...

In the drugstore today I was looking at the magazines, and delighted to see the following on the covers:



Esquire - Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye in The Avengers)
Optimiz - Scarlet Johannson (Black Widow in The Avengers)
Elle Canada - Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts in The Avengers)
Sharp - Michael Fassbender (Magneto in X-Men: First Class)

...So the last isn't an Avengers reference, but it's still Marvel comics.

Seems to me Robert Downey Jr. ought to have been on the cover of something.
