part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

I went down to help my dad, aunt, and uncle move my grandparents from one apartment to a smaller apartment. They have so much STUFF oh my god, and it's all so amazing... I have so many greek drachmae and evil eye beads now...

On the way back north I stopped and went to the Metropolitan Museum to finally go therough the new Greece/Rome wing, and visited greecemun and her friend! Then my dad and I drove back home in 11 hours flat H-HAHA...

So much cool stuff *o* My grandmother was a classical history teacher (it's definitely her fault that I got into ancient Greece at all) and the two of them used to travel all over the place picking up interesting souvenirs and photos and SLIDES, SO MANY SLIDES... Plus there was a ton of family history-related stuff, really valuable for my mom's family archive plans!

Ohhhh it was amazing, not as extensive as the Egypt wing but hey it meant I could actually manage to get through it in an afternoon, haha. HMMMMmmm what was my favorite... I think it was the little winejug with a pattern of soldiers riding dolphins. I've seen it before and have always been kind of confused about the subject matter, but APPARENTLY you were supposed to float the jug in a krater (large pot) of cold water to cool the wine. The dolphins are at just the right spot so that when the jug is bobbing in the water it looks like the dolphins are leaping in the waves!
