this weekend is seriously bi-polar. yesterday was the most beautiful day i've seen in six months. the temperature, the smell, the way the sun shined on my shoulders, goodness, it was so perfect. and today, rain. seriously, seattle, again, don't you get tired of this?despite the weather's decision to muck-it-up, i've had a pretty fulfilling string of days. friday after work i spent some quality time with the co-workers following a long week and to properly punctuate the evening aaron and i spent the remainder of the evening with his friends mike and eleanora. we shared delightful conversation, many bottles of wine, delicious food, and songs around a table fit for four. honestly one of the more memorable evenings i've had in quite a while.
saturday i went with megan to david's bridal for a bridesmaid gown fitting. david's bridal is a funny little franchise and it does funny little things to people who are normally of a joyful and positive demeanor. following the fitting, we decided on brunch, i'm glad i recommended megan take the mlk exit off of i-5 north because what we discovered was an entire part of seattle we didn't even know existed. following the lightrail path all the way to alaska junction where we turned right on rainier for a brunch of delicious herbed eggs and perfect cream biscuits at Geraldine's Counter. If you're the brunch type, you'd be a fool not to try this place out. it is perfection, complete with delightful bright fiesta-ware, sunny orange walls and lots of natural light. Yay for Geraldine's!
anne and i are in cahoots along with our cameras to launch a new web project to share our visionary perceptions of the world. we still do not have a theme except that we're not incorporating faces. so, i placed my order for a new cannon digital slr this morning and cannot wait to get started on the project, it's going to be fantastic. the address shall be released shortly. as for this week, i'm going to work incredibly hard on self-motivation during the work day, patient adherence to yoga instruction in the early evenings, and lots of adventurous vegetable cooking after that. I think i'm in the mood for another lentil soup creation. either that or some sort of recipe from my most recent gourmet magazine. also, i'm getting on the grad-school wagon by reaching out to the far reaches of the world for advice. if you have any please let me know!
