Morning Medieval Miscellany

For your Tuesday:

• Medievalists.net has an interview with Ian Mortimer about his book The Time-Travellers Guide to Medieval England.
• The Medieval Word of the Day is wall-walk.
• Canterbury Cathedral is being repaired with duct tape, which I think is supposed to outrage us, but instead makes me think of the incredible utility of duct tape. h/t Steven Till.
• News for Medievalists has an article on artifacts found at Brechin Cathedral and one on Scottish castles for sale.
• Mearcstapa has a CfP for Leeds 2010, "Exploring the Monstrous."
• DARC has images from Viking Hill at Bonfield.
• The Heroic Age has almost 20 new CfPs and other announcements.
• Medieval Material Culture discusses three exhibits: a Cardiff exhibit on the Welsh view of the Crusades, more on the Nuremberg Mahzor, and a Vienna exhibit on Charles the Bold.
• A Johns Hopkins student killed an intruder with a samurai sword.
• George and the Dragon is, to my knowledge, Patrick Swayze's only medievalist role.
