Don't say to someone working on a holiday "I can't believe you're here working!"

If you are planning to visit somewhere, double check their website for hours and ticket prices before you go! Even just a quick 5 min perusal of the museum's website the morning of your visit can save you and everyone else a lot of confusion and heartache.

O Magnum Mysterium by Giovanni Gabrieli, if you are open to some really old school Christmas music. And by old school, I mean, circa 1587.

The thing that's gonna finally force me to learn how to draw is going to be my overwhelming hunger for sketching clothing that doesn't exist, isn't it?
