There are 25 new pics up at In Focus, my personal picture gallery. 5 of me, 18 of me and others, and 2 of Mike.

Here's a preview. Mouse over the images for a caption.

They cover our pretty day among the cherry blossoms, some DC pics, and the theater formal, plus two pics from our mini-blizzard.

Oh, and as a bonus: a pic not featured in the gallery... Rac and I hamming it up while waiting for our dates to arrive for the formal.



Enjoy!

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.

I decided not to go to the French Class of Doom today. I just couldn't do it. My Enlightenment Lit class was cancelled, too, so I have most of the day free. I'm meeting Heather for lunch at 12, but after that, I have until Angel to make myself work on my papers.

Last night was fun. Buffy was okay- Faith good. Buffy bad. And Spandrew hee. (That was my five-second nonspoilery review.)

Aster attempted gazpacho and failed, but I'll look up some recepies and I'll give it a go when I get my kitchen. We put the blender to good use anyway, making smoothies with strawberries, bananna, and orange, yogurt, grapefruit juice, and milk. They were excellent.

My mother wants me to come home this weekend. Again. I was just home two weeks ago. I love my mother, I do. It's just that I love her more when I'm not physically near to her. I've been home twice already when my job dictates that I only get one weekend off, and both times I couldn't wait to get back to campus. I don't exactly know what her deal is with this clinginess.

As for the update at the gallery, Heather and I scanned 50+ pics last night, and only 25 made it in. Mostly, the cherry blossom pics got a bit repetitive, and a lot of the formal pics didn't turn out (they scanned too small for clarity), which is a shame, because there was a really good one of Rac and I among them.

...Ooh. The wind is blowing pink petals off the tree tight across from my window. Pretty pink shower. :)

At any rate, I must go put clothes on as to look decent for lunch. Later.
