festival of colors!

This weekend was my first time going to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork. It's this huge Hindu celebration that welcomes springtime where people throw colored corn starch at each other and into the air at specified intervals throughout the day. On Saturday, over 40,000 people went to the festival, where 85,000 bags of colors (priced at $2 per bag) were sold. Sunday didn't have as many people but it was still a blast to experience and join in on. Click on the pictures to make them bigger.

Early throwings; you can tell the time by the whiteness of Zack's shirt.

Zack... This picture is seriously terrifying.

I'll definitely be going back next year.

Saturday was the first day of Spring Break. Paul and I are basically the only people still at the dorms and its so boring. First we had lunch at Sizzler; it was a first for both of us. Next we hit up multiple Asian supermarkets in search of mochi and ramen. Then Paul went to practice and I laid in bed for four hours watching LOST. For dinner we had a full-on Korean meal: ramen, rice and seaweed, and lots of Korean cracker-type foods. Click here to see my side of the table.

I spent the majority of Sunday watching LOST. Paul and I had dinner at Café Rio in Park City because we missed Stuart. We also watched Battle: Los Angeles. Ummm, I really can't remember what we did on Monday.. Paul and I watched Due Date, which wasn't as good as expected. I also made Paul rent Ratatouille. We're going to watch it tomorrow night while we celebrate Wasted Wednesday with Mitch. Ha. Paul and I had dinner tonight at Stuart's house. It was my first time meeting his parents. They're so cute. Stuart also has two super cute cats - one is fluffy and beautiful, the other is fat and loved me more than Paul - and all I wanted to do when they were near me was lay on them and cuddle them to death. I want a cat more than anything. Only 45 more days until I'm back in Missouri with all of my kitties. ^_^

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I'm getting close to 2,000 viewers. Sweet!
