every year my mom gives me the kentucky calendar by james archambault for xmas, and every year i love her a little bit more.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 03:38 (seventeen years ago) link

moms are good at the calendar giving!

(last year's calendar was Canada's Feathered Friends. i think the year before that was Furry Critters, i think, paraphrasing maybe.)

My older cousin 1) owns a carwash and 2) has an enduring faith in Jesus. So every year, I get a Dirt Terminator calendar with lovely though undentified landscape photos and bible verses.

can someone send me a good taqueria calendar for the office? preferably with a sexy, scantily-clad aztec goddess? forgot to pick something up in new mexico.

This thread reminded me to email our print vendor to get their one-sheet '07 calendar. Really handy to be able to look at the whole year at once for longterm planning and remembering to pay taxes, jot down business mileage, etc.

no, that's what you're getting for posting the delia darbyshire rar, duh.

I got a really nice Marc Chagall calender for xmas, and a free cooking one came with a cooking mag I buy regularly that has seasonal recipes each month - noice!

Consider the lilies of the field; they do not toil, neither do they spin.

My husband gave me a George W. Bush "countdown to out of office" wall calendar. It has a terrifying array of stupid things the President has said, plus the days are numbered (too bad it only goes through 2007). It is funny in a kind of depressing way, but the picture of Bush now adorning my bedroom wall is not ideal. I had Georgia O'Keeffe paintings up last year and it was much more pleasant to look at.

this is the first year i have bought a planner, which is funny because i'm finally starting to use outlook as a planner of sorts.

I got a hand-printed calendar -- one of the kind where you have one image all year, and little papers (hand-pressed) with two months at a time -- of our Union [train] Station, and it is great.

― Casuistry (casuistry), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 06:12 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, that's taqueria calendar style, dude.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 06:18 (seventeen years ago) link

for approx. the last 12 years i've made my own calendar for the office each year: photocopy 12 blank grids from the original (drawn in 199?) in december and fill in the dates for the coming year; then each month i select (or have a friend select) the picture for the top portion. last year and this i've made one for home as well. love my calendar.

that said, i covet the calendar (taqueria-style) hanging in my neighborhood vietnamese restaurant.

My mum always buys me a Scotland calendar - two years ago Mr R and I tried to visit all the scenes month by month, but March was some Hebridean island and we gave up.

Been to most of the places so it's good to say "Ahh, look at June - remember that?"

I'll have a paper calendar until I die.

I've got a views of Nova Scotia calendar that was made by my friend. I don't use my calendar as anything other than a new photo to look at every month, but I still like it.

Roseberry Topping, in Yorkshire, is my January MicroDrainage picture of the month. Very wintery and lovely.

I have a Hokusai calender!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 10:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Roseberry Topping in Yorkshire sounds like a calendar of recipes!

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 10:38 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a rather cool pointy hill top. Unfortunately none of the other pictures through the year are as charming.

I was going to make a calendar for a friend of mine this year, made up of pictures taken from around my village through the various seasons last year (my friend used to live here too, but has now moved overseas) as I thought it might be a nice reminder of the place. But then I got too busy and never managed to find time to do it.

I was bought the Baseball Hall of Fame calendar.

Last year I used the 1995 WFMU calendar because the days matched. (Yes, I still had it.)

Nuns Having Fun reminds me that one day walking, through the concourse under my office bldg, I passed by a Kosher deli called Mendy's and inside, lo and behold, was a bunch of nuns in habit, having pastrami (or something!). Best moment of my day.

I received my free calendar from Glasgow Taxis this morning. Joy.

Oh man, look what I just found.

(I will take it down immediately if anyone in the calendar objects, btw.)

It definitely builds up.

I always have a paper calendar in the kitchen for birthdays, doctor appts. and such.

This year I got kind of a lame one of "Bad Dogs" cause that's all they had at Target and I was impatient. New Year's Day I sat down with a mimosa and transferred important dates from last year's to the new one. aahh, so satisfying.

I want a 365 stitches daily knitting calendar for the office.

xpost, that link didn't work for me. what is it? the underwear calendar?

My calender is both a calender AND a Chinese food menu. Even our calenders multi-task in 07!

Oh! I forgot! I got a calendar from my local Chinese restaurant as well, but it's not got a menu on it. Just their phone number. Dangerous.

I don't know if I'll be able to replace the glory of my 2006 Alf calendar. Work bought me an appointment book - so I might stick with just that. Boring I know - but I have the Canadian winter right outside to look at whenever i like.

Or... well... winter should be along soon enough.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

The Spam calendar is kinda lame and repeats too many images from last year. I want classic american graphic arts/design, not screen shots of Safari displaying yer webpage. So no Spam calendar this year.

Office currently has a "Classic Cars" one from a potential supplier, and a wallscroll one from a local chinese buffet from my parents suburb. It has "Panda of China."

Home has one from American Humane Society.

my planner is already looking...used. if i don't have actual plans, i use my planner to write down web sites i need to look at, songs i need to DL, grocery lists, recipes, dates of when i finish a book, etc etc. it's basically a notepad.

― AiLien (AMD), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

songs i need to DL

This is a sound idea.
I've been using post-it notes.

I've got the Farmer's Almanac calendar at work. Today is the beginning of the Full Wolf Moon!

~~Sunny~~ My dog gave me a Great Dane calendar for home. As a Great Dane owner, I'll proudly hang it up in my office even though really, judging from the cover photograph, they should've just called it a Dog Penis calendar and been done with it.
