We met some people for Korean Language at a Korean restaurant.  It was my first time at this particular location, and met a few new people.  Afterwards we went to the market next door and did some shopping, bought dessert 🙂

My dad had his MRI appointment followup.  They saw a small something that they want to get rid of that was new growth in his brain, and they want to get it before it gets bigger, so we have an appointment for another cyber knife consult and then the cyber knife coming up.  But overall everything looked good.

The doctor we spoke to showed us the MRI scans (before with the tumors, and the new one), which we don’t get to see every time he gets an MRI scan.  It was really interesting seeing the before and after tumor images.  The one major one has gone away completely, and the second major one is less than half the original size.

We picked up our finished ceramics! Here is what mine looked like before and after 🙂 I really liked how it came out, though I had a spot that I messed up and couldn’t cover very well so I’ll have to face that to the back when I display it. I want to try another free hand piece like a pot or dish next time.

So, my friends Adrienne and Lindsay and I met up last week to hang out and do some shopping.

We were on our way to the gas station up the hill and the car ran out.

Luckily the gas station was only 10 or 15 minutes walking time up the road . . . unfortunately it was a bit humid out, but not bad as it has been this week.

It was just kind of funny (and it was only funny because I knew where I was, it was in a good area, and I knew there was a gas station not far. Otherwise we would have for sure called AAA).

We did a bit of shopping, had dinner at a Thai place, and then watched some TV.

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, where you go to one of those places, pick out a piece of white pottery and paint it with whatever.

I had a coupon for a free studio session (cost of paints and such), so we went with my parents to a place not far from them.

Gary picked out a mug and painted it blue. All blue. My mom painted a tile with a pink seashell on it, and my dad painted a seashell votive with shades of blues, pinks, and greens.

This was my piece, a vase that I painted all light pink, thought it is hard to see it in the picture. I started painting green vines, and decided I wanted to go with brown, so I started painting over the green and found out I liked the layering, so I did that technique with all the vines.

I picked what I thought were a shade of maroon for the flowers, but they look more pink right now. When they glaze and fire the pieces, the colours should be a bit darker.

Everything should be ready by Thursday, so I’ll post a photo of the finished pieces ^^

Yesterday, I went to Korean school in the morning, followed by a field trip to a Korean Buddhist temple. Afterwards I went to my dance teachers piano recital, and after that a party at her house.

I took a video of the recital, but made it private since I don’t know if she would want it available to the public, so if you know me, e-mail me and I can send you the link 🙂

The other night, I took my parents to the ballet, first time going to the performing arts center downtown.

We saw ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Beethoven’s 9th’; 4 parts.

I liked both performances, but I really liked how well Beethoven’s 9th was performed and choreographed.
