swatkat: knight - er, morgana - in shining underwear (so pretty)
Today I saw a peacock dance. No, really, this is not an April 1 joke (which would be lame and I've played enough of them today). For the first time in almost two years, after growing to treat peacocks as our friendly neighbour crow-substitutes, I finally saw one dance. It had rained early in the morning, and I was on my way to class through my usual short-cut through the forest. The peacocks were really creating a ruckus, but since they *always* create a ruckus I was mostly ignoring them, stopping once or twice to appreciate a couple of pretty shiny tails on the rocks. And then I saw it. It had spread its blue-green tail, which is magnificent even under ordinary circumstances, and like this, just *spectacular*. And it was going round and round, shimmering that tail just a little bit, and all that dazzling blue and green against wet leaves and rocks... I have no words. There were a couple of other guys around, appreciating his dance, and a peahen who was looking mighty interested. They were all too far away to photograph, unfortunately, but man. It was something.

Speaking of April, my sister sent me a message this morning: "April 4th is on Friday!!!!" To which I replied, "Shut up. And if you don't brings the CDs when you come I'll kick you out of my room." She comes to visit on the 19th of May, when I'll be done with the semester. Before that, I have no access to new BSG. April will be a crazy month for me, but I hope to check the flist everyday, or maybe once in a few days. USE CUT-TAGS, people. USE IT. They're very simple. No post headers with "The One Where Character X kicks it", no episode summaries before the cut (why do people even do that?), no spoilery cut tags (yes, people do that too), just NO. Spoil me?* And I'll personally make sure Laura Roslin tosses you out of the nearest airlock, so there.

* House fen, of course, are always free to spoil me once the new episodes air. They're more than welcome, in fact. Yes, I have double standards.

Cruising through the flist:

I love you all. ♥
