I stayed home on Mardi Gras - used the day to do the FAFSA - fun fun.
I've done it so much that its not that big a deal anymore. My mom and I kept seeing the parades on TV and kept saying "c'mon, if we hurry, we can catch the end of zulu/beginning of rex/krewe of america" bu we resisted and used the day for rest.
I did watch the Rex Ball in its entirety last night - that is a beautiful sight to see. The meeting of the courts is such a beautiful, wonderful, yet sad event, because it signifies the end of Carnival.
Btw, aopirose, h2oot, and anyone else who may have watched that - did you n otice that the ball ended at 11? I always thought it ended at the stroke of midnight. Maybe its something new?
