icepixieI trekked down to the post office today and mailed my twenty-odd cards and packages today, so everyone who gave me an address should all be getting mail within a week or two. Woo!

Now that I've finished the theatre review, I have nothing left to do before break! Notice how I said before...'cause break will consist of me playing with Jstor and various other online databases so's I can research my two papers that are due after we come back...have I mentioned how much I dislike this practice of ending the semester two weeks after winter vacation? Argh.

Also, pictures from my trip into town, mostly of the cathedral (which is right across the street from the post office). It was sunset (at three frickin' thirty), there were picturesque clouds...yeah.
Distant steeple from on a hill.
Cathedral, with lighted tree.
Cathedral tower with pretty sky and lamp.
Cathedral with lamp.
The dark bulk of the cathedralw ith a pink sky and a barren tree.
A whomping willow, except it isn't a willow.
Neat storefronts across from the cathedral yard.
Abstract cathedral part and a blue sky.
Sunset over the railroad tracks. (One of the five best pictures I've taken this year. I love how the colors of the sky are reflected in the rails.)
Wider shot of the same.

And, finally, awesome instrumental mp3s here: Manhattan Beach Symphony. They're a concert band that does music by American composers and arrangers (Shenandoah, Simple Gifts, Train Heading West--typical high school band fare), and I think has some connection with arranging pieces for school bands. Anyway, great mp3s, and free free free!
