Calendar fun

So, now that we have a brand-new year, I assume that many of us have brand-new calendars....

Mine has adorable, snuggly rats.� How about yours?

My only calendar so far this year was a Christmas gift from my cousin of pastoral Vermont painted scenes. It's okay, but kind of fru-fru.

I'm still looking for the traditional Frank Lloyd Wright or Maxfield Parrish calendar for my office.

Mine has a different dinosaur skeleton for each month and the glow in the dark. Yes I am a seven year old geek.

Mine has The Beatles, which are my favourite band other than Moxy Fruvous :D I was looking for a Monty Python one, like I had last year, but could not find any :/

I bought 3 calendars for my office. A Get Fuzzy Page-A-Day, one with various posters from the New York is Book Country Book Fairs, and a New York Vertical calendar, featuring various interesting B&W perspectives of NYC.

I also have a calendar featuring The Glorious Nosebleed by Edward Gorey and an MC Escher Mini-Calendar. Plus, I bought the Tolkien Art Calendar for my brother, who gets one every year. I like calendars, especially buying them the day after Christmas when the selection is still decent and they're 50% off at most chain bookstores and mall calendar stores.

I have Brian Froud / Terry Jones Labyrinth-type Goblins! :-D
But it's odd. The days go from monday --> sunday...

I've had Gorey, Escher, and Tolkien Calendars in the past. Multiple ones for Tolkien and Escher.

european calendars start on Monday. It actually makes more sense. We call Saturday and Sunday the weekend, not the weekend/beginning.

The root for the word "Sabbath" means seven - Sabbath�is the seventh day,.� In the main creation story in Genesis, God created for six days, and rested on the seventh.� Jews observe the Sabbath on Saturday, making Sunday the first day of the week.� I think of Sunday as�the beginning end, and Saturday as the ending end - like a string, tied in a knot.� And so, both days are week "ends"

When Christians started observing a Sunday Sabbath, Monday became the beginning of the week, to jive with the creation story.� In that view,�the weekend�is the last 2 days of the week.� So, in terms of matching the dominant culture, European calendars do make�more sense.� But not in terms of what we call the "weekend," and how we historically arrived at that designation.

i have the RotK calendar. whee! *smug*

a two-month dry-erase calendar.

Works great, and never expires. :)

I donna have one. donna want one. BUUUUUT if I was going to have one I'd want one with monet's stuffs on it. me likes the monet.

mmmmmmmmmmimpressionism :) my 2003 diary was a van gogh one and it was so purty. *^_^*

my main calendar is of Frida Kahlo's art. *swoon*

also, for my curiousity's sake, a Jewish calendar which i actually got in September... or... *flips back in calendar* Elul 5763.

I have a humpback whale calendar. How could I possibly limit all my pop culture obsessions to one--for the whole year?

I have a day-by-day cats calendar (cheezy - yes! but cute :-) and a 365 days of Britian wall calandar....however, i just recently saw the movie Calendar Girls *side note EVERYONE MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!! :-D * and i was wondering if they might reproduce the original fund-raising calendar to go with the new movie...hmmmmm

I have the Llewellyn Witches calendar.� It has essays for each month, moon phases, planetary movements, mythological info, planting schedules ... it rocks.

And I have the township trash and recycling schedule calendar.� ;)�

yeah, I have to actually HANG my new calendar instead of the 2003 one.

Didn't get any calendars for christmas... surprisingly... so for now I've only got the Subway calendar I got from the restaurant... picked up for free...

I usually pick up a Jeff Gordon wall calendar, and a tear-off calendar of some sort, usually also NASCAR- or sports-related.

I'm waiting for them to go on sale. Then I pick the best of what's left. Never know what I'm going to get. It's an adventure!

I have Finding Nemo.

Yay!!! so now i have a "Calendar Girls" calendar that has 6� photos from the orginal calendar and 6 from the movie...it's way cool and very lovely hanging btw my kitchen and dining room.

found it at Barne's and Noble...1/2 off....woohoo!!!

for about 4 years running i had the Witches calendar...i loved the little advice blurbs scattered through out the month...the illustrations were beautiful too...unfortunalty they've become so popular round here that there are none left after the holidays when all the calendars go 1/2 off (that's when i always get mine)

I *made* my own LOTR calendar.. thats right.. i sat on MSPaint for 2-something hours making a calendar outline... and then changed months and pictures for every month and added dates after i finished printing em.. I've got Haldir of Lorien, numerous pics of Merry and Sam, Pippin,Frodo,Aragorn,Arwen,Gandalf,and Faramir. woooooooo.... go me^_^ *yes.. i really need a life.. *��� *Returns to her book on speaking Elvish*

I've got The Simpsons....

Surprise, surprise ;-)

/me plops the new Dilbert-a-day calendar on his desk, titled "I'll Add This To The Compost Drawer"

I second the Get Fuzzy at work... I have a handspring so I don't really use calendars but I need my cat fix at work.

I was given a small magnetic one that I have on my fridge at home that shows a cute kitten picture each day.�Aaawwwww....

I gave my boyfriend a James Bond one (previous years included LOTR and Harry Potter)

Hooray for the Gorey calendar! I have always wanted one...i didn't get this year's because it was The Glorious Nosebleed, and I have read that book too many times.

I have a Charles Rennie Mackintosh calendar that I picked up in Scotland. He's been a favourite artist/architect of mine for a long time now. Now if only I could find it.... no, really.
