Mar. 1st, 2010 01:46 pm+ Happy Purim and Holi to those of you who celebrate. Both are occasions of great joy, and I hope they bring a lot of colour into your life.
I am a little glum, because it's Holi today (for some people) and it was Holi yesterday (for some others) and I'm at home and have no one to play with. I'm just sitting here, watching videos on YouTube (a surprising number of them feature Holi celebrations on our campus - figures) and eating malpuas. I'm not missing the bhaang - the last time I tried (two years ago), I saw colours and rainbows and was very close to calling up my parents and apologising for dying young - but I do miss seeing multi-coloured people lying in the gutter, stoned out of their minds. And the absurd tearing off clothes thing that boys do (it's a manly bonding ritual, don't ask me why).
And speaking of Holi, seasonally appropriate fic at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
purimgifts: so many colours it nearly broke my heart by anonymous, Parvati and Padma Patil. I'm slowly making my way through the rest of the archive, but this is gorgeous.

sophinisba: Wild Child by calapine, for halfamoon. Beautifully edited, and made me a little teary and full of joy.
+ Another joyous thing: I heard fromcaesir, who is safe despite scary earthquake. ♥
+ I don't think I linked this on my LJ: A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End, LOTS style (Richard/Kahlan, Cara/Kahlan). Yes, this is what I do when I'm bored, shut up.
