busy weekend of music and gardening...
May. 10th, 2009 08:43 amDaughter's piano recital was fun - she did three duets with her teacher. Unexpected, but I think that's actually more difficult to do than solos, really. Two songs from "Fiddler on the Roof" and one older song. Such a variety from the rest of the students this year - the "Star Wars" theme, Chopin, and a song by Coldplay (just the piano part), and a duet of "chopsticks" that went all full of improvisation.
Got most of the rest of the garden plants at the huge college agricultural sale, and to continue my theater/literature geekiness, I got a salvia from Verona, Italy (for the Shakespeare play) and a variety of snapdragon called "Dulcinea's Heart" (for the character from "Don Quixote").
Ended up watching "Ace of Cakes" on the Food Network last night, as it turned out they were going to Hawaii to do a cake for the cast and crew of "Lost"! Very cool and silly, and the footage of the actors all playing with the little fondant versions of themselves was fun, as was the bit with Josh Holloway pretending to drink the fake Dharma beer and then biting into it.
