Week of March 12th Recap

This week has been really busy. I didn't have time to log on my Mac for a extended period of time. There were ups and there were downs. Anyways, here is a recap of this week's notable events:

Monday -

Went to the French Embassy to watch a modern contemporary piano and saxophone performance. I was expecting a very melodic and up-beat performance, but I only got up-beat. The style of the music played was none that I have ever heard before and unfortunately that is not a good thing. I could not understand the music played. The notes were played were all over the place. Sometimes I pondered if the guy is actually playing the saxophone for real, or if the whole show just a trick to see if the audience could tell if they were legit players or not. The only piece they played that I enjoyed was their final piece that was composed by a Russian composer. It wast he only uncrack-like performance of the night. Even though, the music I heard that night was not my cup of tea, I was appreciative that I could experience that type of music.

Tuesday -

Work was not bad. My boss took the team to a nice lunch. We had a great talk and a good time. For dinner, I went to Busara in Tysons Corner (Thai restaurant) and caught up with an old friend that I have not seen in such a long time. It was a good chill evening.

Wednesday -

A couple of friends and I went to "Medieval Times" in MD after work. Medieval Times is a live dinner show where you are served a medieval style dinner while watching knights battle it out in various competitions. This was my first experience to something like this. I am glad that I finally got to experience this because ever since I watched the Cable Guy, I wanted to go to one. Some of the tricks they performed was amazing, and the fighting was very comical. Our designated knight seemed like a newbie so he did everything twice as slow as the others. Fortunately, he won a couple of competitions, so all of our cheering was not in vain.

Thursday -

March Madness begins. I didn't watch many of the games because I did not have the luxury of skipping out of work. I am happy VCU, MD, and Georgetown won their games. Later that night, I attended the weekly Japanese class. I hope my level of Japanese is improving.

Today, Friday -

Ahh.. the last day of the work week and i don't have the pager. I should be happy, but I have to go to work tomorrow starting from 10:30PM to 5:00AM the next morning. Well, at least I get Sunday off..... Well, its gonna be worse next week. I will have to work all 7 days and I will work night time on 4 of those. Life is going to SUCK.
