Happy Easter!
Apr. 8th, 2007 10:41 amFirst of all, I'd like to wish everybody a wonderful and happy Easter! If you don't celebrate Easter, I'd like to wish you a happy Passover, or just a very happy spring!
However, in honor of the holiday, I'm using an icon from my all-time favorite religious painter, Greg Olsen. Oh, I love his stuff.
Downloaded the newest Mormon Tabernacle Choir Album It's Showtime!. OMG! Their recordings of "In Dreams" and "Circle of Life" are GORGEOUS! And the Orchestra at Temple Square gets huge props for what they did to the LOTR score and the African chants. DUDE! The rest of the album is great, too. Haha.
I attended my first Passover on Thursday. It was just my Hebrew class, but we set up a very nice Seder Feast for ourselves. I made our charoset and considering I couldn't use wine to make it...not so bad! Elijah had his cushioned chair and everything. It was probably still a little sacreligious, mostly because Jason in our class was a Reform Jew before converting to Mormonism, and he really didn't care for the rituals anymore. We'll just say that it's a good thing we were drinking grape juice and not wine because Jason's grape juice intake was...insane. Anyway, it was tons of fun.
The semester is over in about two and a half weeks. AH! Okay, I'm good. So much to do before the end of finals, man! Including pack and sell my current contract. Oy.
