Very Rainy

I so wish that weekends and workdays could be switched around...so that we had two days of work and five days of relaxation. As you can probably guess by now...I do not like being in the office.
The weekend was fantastic even though it rained off and on. During the days it was mostly sunny and warm and looked so clear out....but then you would get the grey cover and pouring rain.
Saturday night we got the chance to go and check out the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. I was hoping to get some outside pics of it, but it was pouring when we arrived. This was our vantage point in the hall:They were performing a "War Requiem" that was composed in dedication to a church that was bombed in WWII by the Germans and then rebuilt after the war. The Philharmonic played with the LA Children's Choir and the LA Choir. It was quite heavy being a war requiem and the lyrics were not really my fave. I felt for the singers because if I was singing this I would think...What the....... It was a lot of "blood on my chariot wheels", death and dying.
Just what one wants to listen to on a Saturday evening.
The background singing was done in latin I believe and the main soloists sang in English. The building by far was my favorite part of the whole evening. The place is unbelievable and the amount of beautiful wood grains in the building is massive. The centerpiece is this large organ that takes up one whole wall of the hall. The choir was coming in to fill those seats while we took this photo.
The entire score was one hour and 25 minutes and I am so glad I did not need a bathroom break because you are not allowed back in the hall due to the acoustics. So, once you are out- you are out. No intermissions in this one. After the event, Acura (the car company) hosted a reception with coffee and pastries. Yummy! I do hope that I can go back again and see another piece. It is such a beautiful place and there are no bad seats.
The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning and working out at the gym. Love the aqua class on Sunday's and it was pouring yesterday morning while in the class and so I decided not to change and walk to my car in my swimsuit and towel.....I mean might as well since I forgot my umbrella.
Now I am back in the office with absolutely no motivation to do anything. I must push myself to complete something.....I want to get at least one thing on my to-do list done.
P.S. We also watched two movies this weekend, Transformers and Stardust. I was soooo confused in Transformers....half the time I could not figure out what was going on or which monster truck was either good or bad. Stardust...such a cute movie...a definite chick flick, fairy tale story.
