geojlcyesterday was really fun. I mostly did only what I wanted to. The only real exception was putting my resume in word format for the Geoengineers post I want to apply for. I tried using their online resume builder, but it didn't work. So I just forwarded my resume and cover letter as attachments.
Other than that, I read, sewed, and watched the new movie Jeffrey gave me (the A&E 6 video collection of Pride and Predjudice that I love!). He also gave me a nifty t-shirt that I have been eyeballing for several months. I'll wear it tomorrow... :-)
After I picked up Jeffrey, we drove to Northdage Olive Garden for dinner. Mmmmm.... Chicken Alfredo.... I don't even need a menu anymore. It's my favorite thing on the entire menu. And I have enough for lunch today! Happy Tummy!
After dinner, we drove back to the Science Center and watched "Pulse: a STOMP odyssey." It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. There were only a couple traditional STOMP performances, but they were fun! The movie explored several world traditional music scenes: several in Africa, India, Spain, Native American, England. Because I also really like traditional world music and dance, I still really enjoyed it. The only thing I was kind of sad about was that they ignored most of Europe and all of Australia. In England, they covered one of the big bell towers (I don't remember which one, but appearantly, they are the only ones to use this particular 14 tone tune...). I wanted to see Irish hard shoe dancing, Hungarian slap dances (although some of the African ones were very similar), Digeridoo, and Appalacian hambone (also slap dances). But all in all, it was a very cool show!
While we were walking around the Seattle Center after the movie, we found that they were doing a fountain show. On the first song, one of the many fast paced violin concertos out there, they had the fountain dancing to the music. It was very cool. The other songs were more soothing, and it was nice to sit and listen and watch the moving water. But it was more fun to watch all the kids trying to get as close as possible without getting wet. We decided that the concert was scored for music, water, and screaming/laughing/running children. I really enjoyed that part of the evening.
So all in all, it was a very good day. (And I REALLY like my new skirt now that I tore out the one panel that wasn't quite right and fixed it... :-)

Geoengineers... or GeoEngineers?
on 2003-04-11 11:25 am (UTC)I keep meaning to get off my duff and get together with Kepf to do some skirts like hers and now yours. I would maybe want them a bit longer and with material I could wear to work... be good for spring. But cash poor right now and my house needs organizing before I can do more sewing. ::sigh::
Hope to see you tomorrow :)

on 2003-04-11 01:36 pm (UTC)Sorry to go on, but I am very excited and hopeful. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. I think I am going to cook some cumin chicken (if you are eating again...). There should also be fresh bread (I hope. My dad is in town for a job interview, and we're going to breakfast with him. Hopefully not to disruptive to the bread process... :-)
