Virginia Beach Sakura Festival 2009
For a student of Japanese at ODU, the Virginia Beach Cherry Blossom Festival is sort of an annual requirement lest one get scowels on the following Monday. I had much to do today between work, family matters and studying but I was able to make it out to Red Wing Park in time to make the last hour or so.
For the first time In my experience, the festival was held on a day that was warm and rain free.
Not only that, but the Cherry Blossoms were actually in bloom during the festival for the first time ever in the 5 years they've been holding it.
Sadly the koi ponds are koi free....
...and there are no fireworks.
I must say that the attendance was surprisingly large. (These pics were taken as the festival was disbanding). Despite the mud (It's rained here for 5 days straight) the enthusiasm was high and many people decided to dress up for the festival in culturally appropriate attire...
...of various flavors.

Gaah! Mirelurks!
Between Mirelurks, Yao Guai and Deathclaws the post-Apocalypse DC area is even scarier than the real thing!

Not to mention the odd supermutant.
Oh, wait, you said "scarier than the real thing."

Amazing! Good stuff!
Does an education in oceanography represent an asset to the CG? I would assume it does, but I'm not certain.
Are you thinking of joining the CG full-time once you're out of school?

Pardon the oceanography pun, but "Holy Mackerel!"
Congrats, pal!

Exams Upon Me
Posting has been light due to 17 credits worth of midterms and papers. Tomorrow is a cram day. The rest of the week is exams. Light posting will continue, so here is a pic of Yuki Nagato as compensation.
