Simon Schama's J.M.W. Turner

From his "Power of Art" series. Over the top & catty as ever. I love it.

This clip is from somewhere towards the middle of the show, but I like that it just sortof tosses you into the action. There are links on the YouTube page for parts 1 thru 4.

I have a million-billion interests, but I always seem to get distracted by another shiny object before gaining any in-depth knowledge about a particular subject. I've set myself the awesome task for the coming year (and beyond?) to spend each month focusing on one topic that I find potentially fascinating. I'll use any spare time I have to read, watch, listen, and research.

The blog exists as a way to share some of that new-to-me knowledge. Since I created this project as a laid-back way for myself to learn, I might not post every new thing here - but I'm super excited to talk about this with you in person, so ask me about this or any other month's topic next time we hang out!!!

I'm doing my best to not plan these topics ahead of time, tho my brain is always swimming with potential subjects. (I'm fairly certain Henry Rollins needs to show up, and soon.)
