I finally had my first real feeling of Spring...

...when I smelled someone mowing the grass. Also, the weather is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l today and the Red Sox opening game is tomorrow. Veronica and are skipping class and going for FREE! NU Green Team allows you go to the game if you pick up bottles. Good cause, good game, good deal.


My birthday was this weekend. It was a good one: Ethiopian food, the pillow fight at Columbus Park, and the Easter Egg hunt.



My friends were very amused that there was no silverware used at Addis Red Sea. Instead injera, a spongy bread, is used to pick up food. It also serves as a plate so it soaks up all the sauces at the end. They got used to it and I think even enjoyed it.




Becki and Veronica gave me cupcakes from Sweet and Nasty, a sex shop/bakery. Mmm.













The pillow fight was intense. We had to conceal our pillows until the signal. A bullhorn sounded a people went to town. Little kids and big men all had one mission: hit as many people as possible. I wish there were more random, fun things like this that brought diverse crowds together.



How fun would it be if world problems were solved with pillows instead of guns? I now have a mental image of Israelis and Palestinians throwing pillows instead of rocks.

We found other Huskies and attacked BU kids with our pillows. They yelled about winning the Beanpot and we ambushed them. We are so fierce





Feathers were flying everywhere. I saw a girl with feathers stuck in her dreads which made me laugh a lot. Dead pillows were abandoned.






I planned a hybrid Easter Egg/Passover Hunt for Hall Council.

"A twist on the classic Easter Egg Hunt. In the tradition of Passover, one egg will have a piece of Matzah instead of candy. The grand prize goes to the finder of the matzah, while other prizes (EASTER BASKETS and T-SHIRTS!) will be given to those who find the most eggs."










I like to hide them in fun places. Some weren't found, and I hope that something during the week passerbys see them and are amused.
