Jesse, I was just thinking about St. John the Divine! Matilda has a plaster replica of a rabbit wall carving from one of the little niches/shrines on the wall over her crib.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Kat - yes, Gaudi's massive "cathedral" in Barcelona.
No power tools are used in its construction; entirely hand-done. A lot of work was un-done by Franco and his men.
We spent 3 days in Barcelona (the ex and I; he's Spanish/Venezuelan) just to look at the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, La Padrera (or Casa Mila, though no-one calls it that anymore), and Casa Batllo (which has people living in it, besides being a museum).
I so want to go back every 5 or 10 years and track the progress on the Sagrada Familia. This devout OBOD Bard will be attending both Easter and Christmas masses there, once each, after completion.
It'll be a thing.
I think I'm the only one still here at work.
Happy birthday, Frank--I hope you find the sun in Maine, but I read over at Americablog that it's in hiding up there, too.
Happy Birthday Frank!
We went to Park Güell when I was in Barcelona. I remember it as being awesome in the truest sense of the word. I didn't know anything about Gaudi and I just marvelled at the whole thing.
not important enough to say twice.
Casa Batlio, AKA, Can't go inside, Cthulhu will eat me.
Park Guell was very pretty - and almost too big (covered too much ground) to be easily appreciated. I just sort of spun slowly in place, looking around. Alfredo was highly amused.
I want to live in Casa Batllo! The windows...the doors...everything is so different and interesting!
Dana, I think that sucks. Not just because it seems crazy but it also seems like Dinara feels a bit like an imposter. Is she better on hard courts ?
I haven't paid much attention to her, but the match today was clearly nuts. Was it Sharapova who got beat down almost that badly in the French?
