saw teatro zinzanni‘s show “dinner & dreams” last week which was fabulous! they have a show in san francisco too…so if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend this show…though here in seattle, it’s sold out for the next 2 months. it was more vaudeville-like than cirque du soleil (although it definitely had its share of acrobats). If anything, it was just a fun evening of laughter, love, and smiles…along with decent yummy food (generic spinach salad, salmon and lemon tart). because i’m a first-year subscriber, phoebe and i had the opportunity to attend a studio rehearsal of the pacific northwest ballet last week. what a change to see…

i love thursday evenings. i usually spend it working on some sort of dish I’ve never prepared and watch the whole thursday night lineup. i think i’m going to take a bath before heading to bed. i haven’t taken one of those in a long time. last weekend was amazing, weather wise. it got so incredibly warm….to the point where you could feel the blanket of heat cover you as you step outside. i was lucky enough to be able to take care of phoebe and ray’s dog over the weekend…so i got to spend a lot of fun time playing ball with the dog and walking her. went rollerblading…

last week, jigna and i went down to boeing to play with a Boeing 767-400 Flight Simulator, courtesy of Shawn. What an amazing experience it was…and how realistic it was also. I had no idea that pilots taxi down the runway only using a little lever on the side….or that they can crank open the windows while taxi-ing to get some fresh air. The simulator was able to reproduce every type of environment–night, day, dawn, dusk–and every type of weather imaginable. i saw the new spider-man movie on friday night which was a lot of fun. i loved tobey mcguire in that role. it’s about time we had a superhero…

work is starting to get stressful again….i haven’t felt this stress in awhile. i’m kind of balancing two jobs right now: my current position as web dev manager and also as program manager…which is a little crazy. i can’t wait til all this madness goes away. but it’s good: I like it when I’m busy as opposed to doing nothing really. it’s such a gorgeous gorgeous day in seattle. i went out last night to REI and finally bought a pair of Salomon inline skates…about time. My last ones were stolen when my car was stolen last September…and State Farm wrote out a nice $200 check for me to buy…
