That's interesting about the semi colon.

If you are going to use a semicolon to connect two clauses, it is very important that the two clauses are both independent. That means that each clause has to be able to stand alone and make complete sense without the other. If either one cannot stand alone, a semi-colon cannot be used.

Ref: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/arts/exerci...al/page_05.htm

They do probably stand alone. I never use a semi colon in a sentence, only for lists and I'm too old to start now.
