catscradle Jun. 30th, 2003 08:40 am)This weekend turned out to be productive. Saturday: Got my move date settled to August 23rd, after I get back from vacation with the folks (God help me). So I took a stroll around the area to get a feel for it. Apparently I've ended up in little Moscow. There are no less than three Russian restaurants in a 1 mile radius. I don't think I've ever seen a Russian restaurant before. Now there are three right by me. Got a sushi bar a short walk away and a couple of international markets. There are several banks, two parks, a community center where you can work out or sign up for arts and crafts stuff. And, as usually, there are about 3 little strip malls nearby.
Went to a Thai restaurant for dinner and found it had been rennovated to include a sushi bar. Surprisingly very good shushi for a Thai restaurant. . .
Sunday: Went downtown to the Cherry Blossom Festival at Sakura Square. Found lots of pretty things I couldn't afford. Watched the drummers for about 20 minutes - they were incredible! Went inside the Buddhist temple and looked at the flower arrangements and bonsai tree display. Then I bought some groceries at the asian market. Completely forgot that I needed a new bambo steamer because mine old one is about ready to fall apart. Thought of it on the way home =P
I completed another rosary - I think this is my favorite to date. It's an aqua millifori Indian glass, sterling silver chain:
I've done some research and found rosaries and meditation beads in just about every religion - Pagan, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu - so I think I'm going to make them for every religion I can find and try to open up a little online shop. Most places I've found them for sale charge astronomical prices - I can cut them by half and still make a modest profit off of it. Provided people buy them, that is ;)
