orchestra at the kimmel center

Thurs 10/29- Got tickets from Veronica for the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Kimmel Center. It was amazing. The score was Stravinsky, Scherzo fantastique; Tchaikovsky, Violin Concerto; Prokofiev, Symphony No. 4. The solo violinist for the concerto was Sergey Khachatryan, a 24 year old from Armenia who played his instrument with more life and fire than anything else I have ever had the pleasure to witness. Enough said.

Verizon Hall at the Kimmel.

Homecoming 10/24/2009 @ the TLA-

it was a 3-day weekend

10/17-10/19/2009- The weekend that almost never was............. we got sidetracked on our original anniversary Labor Day weekend, and had been trying to find a weekend that wasn't completely booked up to just laze around. The chili-cook-off got rained out, and the "3-day weekend" was finally here............ I baked a cheesecake, drank Belvedere and ate parano, learned some guitar chords, watched Thrashin', cleaned the apartment, went to dinner at Honey's, took a bubble bath, drank whiskey, watched the Flaming Lips: Fearless Freaks, wrote the 1-year plan, cooked a whole chicken, went to the Ritz to see A Serious Man, and ended on a Sunday night as happy as can be...

Where else but in West Philly can you just walk into someone's house that you know from a friend of a friend, be completely welcomed, given a Sierra Nevada, listen to Philip Glass, meet a girl studying music history from Italy, and find out that the owner of the house is a massage therapist who gives special prices for friends and neighbors? No place else but West Philly. I love home:) Oh and we jammed on their piano too.

clean up your trash

I can't believe I just heard about this.............and it blew my mind. Not in a good way. There is a patch of plastic in the ocean roughly twice the size of Texas. The North Pacific Gyre is an area between the US and Japan where ocean currents act as a vortex, accumulating garbage from Japan, China, Alaska, Canada and the U.S which all concentrate into a specific zone of plastic trash the Northern Pacific Ocean.

The blue swirls are all the trash.

Consequently, I am thinking about trying to use less plastic...which is much easier said than done. Not using plastic bags is a great start, but I have come to realize that plastic lurks in places you wouldn't even think; aluminum cans have plastic liners, most food items that are packaged in "paper" like OJ containers are actually coated in plastic as well, not to mention things like toothbrushes and shampoo bottles......This girl from Chicago has got some good ideas, though.
