Outro With Bees

"How's hope feeling today?
Tired and sick of this place...
Red wine is fast,
At the lip of your glass,
Saying I'm going to ruin
Everything.
Everything...
So its better my sweet,
That we hover like bees...
'Cause there's no sure footing,
No love, I believe."

My Snack Today

is yummy.

Black Anne Vane

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!


it's Talk Like a Pirate Day so you NEED
to get your name now!

Tonight is the Night

for the new season of America's Next Top Model
and I will SO be tuning in... can't wait!

Some Freaky Shit...

REALLY???

What's For Dinner?

for us, we're having an Indian feast, thanks
to Ta Lin Market and the delicious
frozen creations they offer. We'll be having
Aloo Matar(spicy veg dish with peas and
potaotes, i'm adding chicken), Samosas
(pastry with potatoes and spiced veg),
garlic naan and rice. A lot tastier than
fast food and oh so yummy in my tummy.

Craig and I rotate on making dinner, so I
need to prepare this in time for the finale
on Big Brother 8 tonight.

Odd-ur/Otter

we call him this for a reason:

Luau Madness

Such beautiful men and women...
and we got to take photos with them!
Since we met with the sales director earlier
that day, she gave us seats right up front
and Tana got pulled on stage to hula dance...
better her than me! She looked gorgeous though!

I Want This

may be out of my price range though.

Waikiki and Kona

were nice and humid... as they are every year.

These are some photos from my trip, views from
the beautifully cool and chic places I got to stay,
random food and stuff:


























We worked hard and had fun in the evenings, but
I always love coming home!
