Been a bit over two weeks since my last update. Whoops. Last weekend I went and saw The Host. I liked it. I enjoyed the subtle commentary on Americans and a fun monster that wasn’t bogged down in the “over-scienceing” that many recent movie monsters are subject to. Yesterday was a bit disappointing. I went [...]

Saw 300 at the 12:15 showing last night. All I have to say is that it was an awesome movie. I’ll certainly be seeing it again in the theaters and despite getting to bed at 3 and up at 8:30, it was worth it. Get there when you can.

I wanted to write up a bit of a vacation rundown – as much for me as for anyone else. Thursday 2/22: We got in a bit before 6:00p and didn’t do much. We got our snorkel gear and other odds and ends before heading to dinner. Friday 2/23: Friday was a slow day. We [...]

We got back a bit earlier today. I uploaded 248 images to my page. You can see them starting here. I’ll give a rundown on the week’s festivities later… maybe. It was a great time all around though. Enjoy the pics!

Here’s another pic from today’s dive, which was the last of 3 dives we did over yesterday and today. I’ll be posting quite a few pictures once we’re back next week.

Here’s a fun story. On Saturday & Sunday we went over to Lanai and camped for a day. While waiting for the return ferry, there was a guy sitting down with a major amount of tattoo coverage, including some facial work. We just stood by and listed to some of the tourists ask him questions. [...]

Here’s a brief 1,000 word essay on why where I am is better than where you are.

It’s 5:25 and we’re out the door in 20. Getting up at 5 isn’t fun, but it’s worth it. Now just to make it through the horrible flight.

I did all my packing and I’m all set. Got both bags (stow-away and carry-on) all set aside from some minor toiletries and other things to pack in the AM. Just threw some food on for dinner and then going to relax for the rest of the evening. Hawaii, here I come!

Got the day off today – which is nice. I think I’m going to bum around for a while, get some pizza and just chill. I even had a dream about getting pizza… so it’s definitely on the mind. Saturday was good in that we did some shopping and I got some shorts and tshirts [...]
