Weekend Update

I haven't posted anything for a while (I'm sure you've all missed that!), so I decided to just throw up a quick Hey! to everyone. Not too much going on, same ol' same ol': work sucks, people suck (well, work people at the moment only), & the weather has FINALLY turned for the better *fingers crossed*. I even *GASP* broke out the shorts today. I'm hoping that it will get the weather to stay nice. Because maybe the Sun will take pity on my poor, ghostly-white ass. =)

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Here's some fun stuff:

This was MY pizza:

What Your Pizza Reveals

You fit in best in the Northeast part of the US. You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices. You are cultured and intellectual. You should consider traveling to Vienna. The stereotype that best fits you is geek. You're the type most likely to order pizza to avoid leaving your computer.

And here's the Hubby's (LOL!):

What Does Your Pizza Say About You?

And some other random silliness:

You Are A Blue Girl

Relationships and feelings are the most important things to you. You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict. If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well. You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart.

What Color Girl Are You?

You Are Olive Green

You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself. For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself. You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you. People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.

What Color Green Are You?

Wow!

As promised, here's my follow-up on the Pompeii exhibit - WOW! We started off in the Omnitheater, where we saw a film on Greece. That was truly amazing. The view was stunning, especially the segments on Santorini. I REALLY would love to visit there. The only downside was the seats - we got there right as the film was starting, & we were stuck in the front row. That wouldn't have been bad, except for the fact our knees were crammed into the railing! Luckily the film was only an hour so we could get the feeling back in our legs!

Then it was off to the Pompeii exhibit. There were TONS of people there. I heard on the news that night that over 300,000 people visited the exhibit in the 6 months it was in Minneapolis, & that this was only the 4th US city to host the exhibit. They had all kinds of artifacts, from bronze & glass jewelry to copper scales & marble statues. They also had some frescoes that the archaeologists had pieced back together, as they were shattered in the pyroclastic flows from the volcano. The last piece of the exhibit was the most fascinating though - the plaster casts of the victims of Pompeii. When the archaeologists began excavating the city, they would find these mysterious voids. So the lead archaeologist began filling them with plaster & making molds. What he found was that these voids were actually where the bodies had been frozen in the ash. Some of these molds were on display - they had a man who was crouched against a wall, his mouth covered with a cloth. There was a man & woman found together, who they assumed were husband & wife. They even had a pig & a dog, testament that it wasn't just people caught in the disaster. It was very haunting, yet fascinating at the same time.

All in all, it was a very good time at the Science Museum, & I was very glad I got to go!

Yay! I'm off to see Pompeii!

Or, at least the exhibit on Pompeii at the Science Museum of MN. I've been wanting to see this for months, & now I'm going to. There's also an Omnitheater movie on Greece before, which should be great too. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology. The stories are terrific, & I've even read the Odyssey & the Iliad (the translations of course). (See, I do read something without "heaving bosoms" occasionally). =)

I'll probably do a follow-up post later to tell you how it was. bounce I'm quite excited!
