Is there meant to be a picture here? Or were you just recommending that we visit the museum? *g*

Oh, and that was weird -- when I refreshed the page I got that nasty layout with the serif font you've been complaining of. Then it went away.

*steps away from LJ for a bit*

I see a pic here of nude boys. Hm, and nasty serif font!

Just wanted to say...

I love that painting! Though I can't see the picture, either. Only a wee red cross. :(

*randomly hugs you* :)

Nope. GeoCities sez: The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer *pokes it*

I'll try again later. :)

For once, I see the painting, and lo (semicolon alert!); it is good.

Ah, poor Apollo. Always losing his young lovers.

I fear that after the 'lo' there should have been a colon, or at best, a comma. Or an exclamation mark. I don't think a semi-colon makes sense grammatically there. Or are you now going to quote some arcane semi-colonial rule at me? *hopes for it!*

Ah, I see it now. And lo, it is good.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I am very pleased at the correct punctuation with 'lo' here. (See above comments.)

Aha... I'm now trying to work out whether I read Becca's comment before I wrote that, and subconsciously copied her like a sneaky copy-cat, or whether I'm just incredibly in tune with other slashers.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Uncannily in tune due to uncanny amounts of time online in their company.

Or perverse craving to bombard me with punctuation.
