45 seconds

that's all it took to obliterate my spill of Gatorade on the back porch. that's a bit much don't u think?

i arrived in Tujunga, CA all but two days ago. actually i can't even figure out how long i've been here. i arrived at some ungodly hour when even the raveheads start to dissipate. Red Bull anyone? at any rate, i've been trying to figure out my sleeping pattern for the past day or so. and here it is. WAKE UP SUPER EARLY, local time. but all in all it doesn't make a difference to me because it's really only 3 hours beyond what my real time should be, and that's just right!

just so u know, actual post time is 7:44am local time. not 10:44am EST

the heat is amazing, not as humid as back home. i am yet to figure out how the "plastic" barbie-like dolls that parade around here are surviving. 45 seconds? spilled Gatorade? how do they still have noses attached? lol. it's great being with family here, but i'm starting to miss home. miss queen street. missing colorful money. and gosh darn it i miss my car. *sigh* it's been three days and i miss home. this folks, is why Japan is being postponed.

i'll write more later, perhaps about...Adventures in Food : California Style!

oh! and in a weak attempt to hear from home, is anyone else reading Harry Potter: And the Half-Blood Prince? reading it and going, WHAT THE FUCK!?! man that Rowling lady, super fantastico. super great.

ta na na na

na na na na...BATMAN!

i watched Batman Begins last night. man, THAT my friends is a good movie. i think going with the cutest 22 year old Batman fan i know helped out a bit. it was great seeing B so excited to finally have watched it, like a kid in a candy store. actually, more like a kid after the candy store, all hooped up on chocolate and other consumable sugary goodness. i don't think he slept that night.

it was a good night, with good times! but i need sleep now.

summertime

so this is how summer is going to be now.

me sitting at my desk doing nothing. i guess there's only so much surfing you can do before you get bored. really, how many times can you go to www.thiswebsite.com and www.thatwebsite.ca in a day before it becomes monotonous? actually, i'm not really caring that i have nothing to do and i'm resorting to updating my blog and reading everyone else's blog...it's all in a summer's day work.
