My family and I went downtown today to see the Roman sculptures from the Louvre before they left (and to go to Pike Place Market) and stumbled on the Seattle Maritime Festival.
The festival basically consisted of a bunch of tugboats on the water (we didn't stick around for the tugboat races), boat building contest, and free harbour cruises (for the first 400 people - which we were not).
There was even a mock Coast Guard rescue.
I wish the weather had been nicer (read: sunnier) but it's Seattle so you take what you can get. Next weekend is the U District Street Fair and I'm hoping not only does the 70-degree weather they're predicting for later in the week actually happen but that it sticks around through Sunday.
In honor of Earth Day, show us something (literally or figuratively) green.
What? It's (partially) green. :-)
It's April 18th (9 days til my birthday) and we have about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. And it's still coming down. In fact, Seattle set a record today for the latest snowfall in a year. The previous record was April 17, 1972.
It's gotten really foggy too. It seriously feels like the middle of December rather than the middle of April. I just hope the snow melts somewhat by tomorrow since I have an interview I need to get to by 3:45 and the latest I could have notified them I wouldn't be able to attend was 4 hours ago.
You know, if I were to ever argue against global warming, today's weather would be a big part of my argument.
Also, don't forget, tomorrow's the next round of the anti-Scientology protests.
Show us what the weekend has in store for you.
The spiky frost starts showing up on the trees.
It's pretty but it certainly makes me think twice before stepping outside. (I wish I had had my actual camera with me walking back from class - I could have taken some really nice pictures.)
Amazingly, even though it traveled from China to Alaska and then to Tennessee, FedEx delivered my Zune this afternoon. It's so shiny and pretty.
Speaking of my music collection, so far the only song I've come across that I'm really sad I lost is "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" by Stephen Colbert. I've got the video clip of it but it was still nice to have it come up on my music player. Oh well, at least I was able to save "Singin' in Korean".
Show us a winter photograph.
I decided to take today off from my seemingly endless amount of homework so after I wandered around the Ware Fair for awhile I went out and took some pictures around campus. The sun ruined one shot I wanted to get so hopefully when I go back on campus on Monday it's cloudy so I can get the shot.
I came back from class this afternoon to see this on the mailboxes for my apartment complex:
It's snowed about 3-4 inches in the last 24 hours and it has yet to stop. While I love all the white that is now surrounding me I wish the slush would go away.
