One of the great things about medieval art and architecture is that people just went in and did things. They didn’t build models and scale them up. Building great cathedrals and abbeys was a learning process as much as anything else. This means many of these apparently perfect aspirations to the Heavenly Jerusalem have some often quite comical mistakes, corrections and bodge-jobs that once you see, you can’t unnotice. Great Mistakes in English Medieval Architecture.

Stavia needed a friend like me yesterday... I could see it in her eyes. I am there for you sister. Remember that. Gamer score is 58,134. She played Disney·Pixar UP picking up an amazing 42 achievements to conquer the game, Diablo III on 360, and I think there was some random Live Marketplace browsing, but I wasn't paying attention.

Stavia had to choose between watching TV and playing with me and I am happy to say I won... this time... Gamerscore is at 58,134 points. That is a gain of 100 points over last time! She rallied Walking Dead: Season 2 gaining an amazing 8 achievements to conquer the game on 360, and then she tried to watch TV, but I killed the power... If I can't have her, no one can.
