Best wishes.

Thanks Kat on both accounts.

I'm working on going back to college (just got approved for some grants pending enrollment) and potentially changing jobs too so I'm trying to find a legit way to tie this whole thing in with a rebirth. Regardless I am in a much much better mood than I have been in months.

Its also MY birthday!

Happy Spring, everyone! Happy Birthday, SaintB! I'm eating my breakfast at my desk, shielding my eyes from this bright, burning light that is pouring through my windows! AAAH! What is it?? What? The Sun??? Where the hell did THAT come from???

:D

Shhh... I've been stuck in the radio staton with no windows and haven't got to see this legendary ball of light yet. You're making me jealous!

I'm tired of watching animals have sex all around me roll on summer

Well, go find a partner and get out in those fields. Do your part! What, are you that lazy?

I'd be out in those fields but I require another human being; preferably female, and I can't seem to find one of them around here.

You so need a window where you work.

No windows? Does this so-called "radio station" have padded walls as well? You might not be where you think you are...:p

Yes, I need a window.

Join them. I mean, not personally join THEM, but springtime tends to make everyone a little frisky. Get on out there and get it on! :D

That has all KINDS of possibilities. Just MAKE SURE THE MICS ARE OFF.

Mics? They probably just give him paper towel tubes and tell him they're mics.

I have considered those possibilities, depending on my mood I might keep the Mic on :p

I just looked out the window. It's snowing - heavily.

Happy Easter.

Happy Spring.

:p

And Happy Birthday, SaintB and RoI

I spent most of the day in the park under the cherry blossoms w/ good friends, a good picnic, and good booze.

Thanks!!! Sunny day here, so I did the garden, found a caterpillar for the neighbours' kids (don't ask!) took care of the last few daffodils, and the chocolate cake is now in the oven. :)

We don't have spring, but it's getting hot here.

But, but, but....

Easter isn't for another week (http://gogreece.about.com/cs/greekorthodox/a/easterdates.htm)for some of us...

Still using the Julian calendar? ;)

Do you have Easter eggs too?

Basically, but it's slightly more complicated than that.

Most Orthodox churches use the revised Julian Calendar.

Which essentially means that fixed feasts (ie, Christmas) are usually on the same day as their Western counterparts, but moveable feasts (ie, Easter/Pascha) follow their original Julian date.

The main exception is Russia, where the Orthodox Church continues to use the unrevised Julian Calendar for all church calculations.

Which means that Orthodox Easter is always the same date across the Orthodox Church, but that Orthodox Christmas comes later in Russia (currently January 7).

Clear? ;)

Don't worry, most Orthodox find Orthodox jurisdictional disputes faintly hilarious too.

And yes, we have Paschal Eggs.

Clear, somewhat. :wink: But... the Finnish Orthodox Church uses the Gregorian Easter? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar#Adoption_by_Orthodox_Churches) :eek:

Yes, if you follow the church calendar. For me, I have vacation right now, so now's Easter for me.

And I spent it reading all of the Adventures of Doctor McNinja.

Oh. So it is Easter for me.

Well, I did get a 1lb Chocolate bunny, which is awesome, although i never finish the damned things, lol

And i won at Horseshoes, which is also pretty awesome...

I didn't do anything for spring. I was too busy making a new art object for a show. I finished it today. It goes to the gallery tomorrow. On Tuesday, I'll by some plants, color some eggs, and ceremonially clean something in my house.

what no chocolate? :eek2:

*brings out the wicker man*

If the weather can inch out of winter and move towards spring then I will be a thoroughly happy camper.

Would be nice, wouldn't it. Here, we had a heavy snow this morning that turned into freezing rain in the afternoon. The trees aren't even thinking about leaves yet and the one bush that decided to bloom is now frost-blighted. Aah, Spring in the Rockies.

*brings out the wicker man*
Oh, I already got the chocolate. I've been munching a Lindt chocolate bunny all day long. I mean, really, we're not the Huns over here. We have at least a little civilization.

Down here it is not Spring, we are going into Autumn and believe me it is making itself felt. >.< Easter is mainly just annoying because all the shops are shut.

Let me tell you how good my day was in four words: I love savings bonds.

That's better than what our church, Disciples of the Holy God-Man, does. We use the Gregorian calendar, but calculate the date based on the phases of a moon that does not orbit earth. Phobos, I believe. Sending people to Mars and back to look at it is a bit of a pain, especially if they confuse Deimos for the right one.
