I did a little boozing with Heaves on Friday evening. Saturday, I had the aforementioned digging in the heat at Hafer's. Although it was still balls hot, I decided to go to the National Symphony Orchestra's outdoor concert at Wolf Trap on Saturday evening. People were definitely melting and there were old people dropping like flies due to the heat, but I think that I was acclimated to it thanks to the afternoon in the sun. I had been on the fence about going, but I'm glad that I manned up and went because it was an awesome show. They played the music of John Williams, here was the playlist:

- Olympic Fanfare (didn't realize that he wrote this)
- Theme from Jaws
- Theme from Jurassic Park
- a ballad from Memoirs of a Geisha. It featured a cello performance (written for Yo Yo Ma for the movie). Very nice piece.
- ET from when the bicycles fly
- Theme from Close Encounters
- Theme from Schindler's List featuring a violin performance. Definitely a sad piece of music.
- Superman, which was awesome. I love the Superman music.
- Theme of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics - I wasn't familiar with this piece, but it was really good
- Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan
- Some Harry Potter stuff
- Finished with a ton of Star Wars, which was amazing.

I was a little disappointed not to hear the Indiana Jones theme, but otherwise it was a spectacular show. Wolf Trap is a really cool venue - not sure why I have never been before. You can bring in your own booze/food.

I had a day inspired by Office Space on Sunday and remained in my air conditioned apartment all day doing absolutely nothing.
