I won't be around for a while...
Jul. 15th, 2005 08:59 amHey everyone. This is just a heads up - I won't be on LJ for a while, so all those witty responses to your posts that you look forward to will have to wait. I just started my summer classes and I'm getting slammed with homework. They are stuffing a semester's worth of classes into six weeks. As some of you may know, one of the classes is that Mathematics for Economics course that I was attempting to self-study this summer (that didn't work out too well) and then I discovered that I could find a way to attend the summer session of the course. YAY!
I want to apologize for ruining someone's vacation - you know who you are - I didn't mean for these classes to upset the apple cart. Keep that ever-approaching GRADUATION date in mind. Next vaca will be better, much better.
Now, on to the picture show... Went to Putnam/Pomfret this past Sunday. Just tooling around the Quiet Corner of CT while waiting for the right time to drop into The Vanilla Bean in Pomfret. TVB was having a really good live music set that night, someone I'd never heard of Garnet Rogers and the plan was to get there early enough to have dinner so that we'd get our seats locked in for when the music started. WOW they have good food! I had a mozzarella-basil ravioli in a tomato cream sauce with a couple of wedges of grilled asiago bread. And I had a cup of ginger-lemonade with it. Unknown to me, there ended up being an opening act. Her name is Natalia Zukerman and I highly reccomend that you all go out and get her music now. Seriously, at the break I went and bought the two CD's she's made, she's going to hit the big time soon. She's still in that stage that signing her autograph on one of the CD's made her blush a bit and break out into a big smile. Needless to say, they ended up on my iPod the next day.
Backtrack... the picture show. While wandering about before the show, we found this little town with what seemed like a half-dozen antique shops. It being Sunday, only a couple of them were open. Has anyone seen![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crabbyolbastard's pictures of the painted whale statue in Mystic? There are supposed to be a bunch of them, painted with different images, all over the town. The town that we were in had a bunch of cows set up everywhere, in front of the businesses that had sponsored them. I took pictures of my favorites. They weren't as fantastic as that whale, but they were nice enough in and of themselves.
( here's the peektures, no that wasn't a mispelling... Heh. )
