I Want a Man Named Mac

I want a Mac for my very own. I want to have a little Mac to play with on a daily business. I like my PC and it is wonderful for stuff, but I really want a Mac to take up permanent redsidence. I was thinking either an eMac or a Mac Mini. I think I would have to wait until I get to where I'm going to be for a while, whether it be a new school or a new apartment with a new roommate (that's in the cooker as we speak). Finacial and logistical reasons of course. If I do stay here, I also want to get a crappy car, moped, or a crotch rocket. Unless somebody wants to drive my car to California. Hmmm...

Homecoming

This weekend was very odd. On Thursday my friends started coming home from Iraq. If you will recall, the left last January and have been gone for 13 months. These are the pictures before they left, I'll post up new pictures of them back once I get them. I am so glad they came home and wanted to spend every minute this weekend with them. I did for the most part except when I had to work and when I was studying for my huge endocrine exam that I had today. I barely got any sleep and just sat up with them most the night because none of them really slept. I went along with everything they wanted to do from strip clubs to beach time, and tried my hardest to find them chicks. It was weird because A. They were home and B. They would tell me things about when they were gone and what they did that tore me apart. They were so terrible. I didn't not wish for a moment I could erase everything and make like it never happened to them. It was really weird looking at them enjoying everything I take for granted living here like they had never encountered it before. It made me wonder if I should really transfer in the fall or not. I think one of the reasons I was so depressed in the first place about living here is all my friends were leaving and being deployed. That and I hate where I live apartment wise. Since people are starting to come back, I don't if I even really want to go. I don't know if I want to make up my mind now. I mean, the university and my living situation suck huge giant donkey dong, but the life I have right now with my job and my friends and the culture is actually not that bad. I don't know. I just don't know.

Cell Phone Blues

The screen on my cell phone is getting darker. It isn't a leak because I can see my screen saver just fine. There are also these fuzzy lines on it. I wonder if I will just wait until my phone goes completely black before I call warranty. Let's see how long I can procrastinate...
I smell cake. Cheap store bought cake with that yummy sugar/lard icing that is so good, yet so bad. mmmmmm...

Hookahs and Belly Dancers

Friday nights I went to a hookah lounge very similar to This one. The lounge it a new addition to my favorite Egyptian restaurant in Honolulu. The cost was $10 per person for the first bit and $5 per person for each refil. The experience was like nothing else because you can actually taste the flavors of the tobaccos you are smoking. Thsi is because most of the nasty crap is filtered out through the 3 foot long tube and the 9 inches of water. It is like breathing cold, nicotinated flavored air. Even with all these people smoking, there was no haze in the room and you didn't smell like smoke when you got home. To top it off there was a FABULOUS belly dancer there and yummy vittles like falafel, a tray of dips and pita, and rose/champagne sorbet. Further more, the owner's nephew is one of my friends so add that to the 10% discount UH students get and I was set. It still was expensive as crap because my friend and I smoked five hookahs (but one was free) and were there for four hours.

It seems like a place sister-dear would enjoy if she would just fly out.

Fiber and Calcium

The nutrition people on the same floor as me fillay broke my will to eat junk food all the time. Those damn "Overweight? Try Fiber!" and "Osteoperosis kills!" signs (maybe I'm exaggerating) finally convinced me to buy and abundance of vegetables and yogurt. This in turn made me want to do yoga before school for some unimaginable reason. I've even started buying organic products eventhough they are more expensive and I have no money. It's those damn hippies wanna-bes with those dreadlocks and wierd west-south-central-African horn tube instuments with buttons and strings and bongos smoking weed all the time. Is it possible I've gotten a contact buzz from living in this state?

I've started buying foods my roommate doesn't like to try and train her to not eat my food. My cabinet is now littered with tofu, pre-packaged Indian food, Mediterranean food, and tuna. Every thing else I like and I know she will eat I stuck in my closet. Here is my problem...veggies. They are in a common area. I need recipes on how to prepare veggies so that she is turned off by MY veggies. I could eat Greek salad all the time, but I don't think I could take feta for that long. I really hate that I have to do this, but it's time for her to learn not to eat my foodies. I was just wondering if any of you have favorite recipes involving exotic spices, tofu, tuna, feta or goat cheese, or something of strange color and texture. Any suggestions?

HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!!!

I hope everyone had or is going to have a happy Fat Tuesday. This is also known as Mardis Gras. Today I plan on going to Waikiki to walk around and look at evrybody getting toasted. And wear beads. And have people ask me if I will show my boobs for some more to which I will reply "$%#^ NO". I missed last year, but not this year. I'm excited. How did you spend yours? Passed out in a gutter? Naked on a pool table? Or how about just being a glutton? Have you decided what you are sacrificing for Lent (if you do that thing)? Did you use a designated driver? Did you get many strands of beads? Did you do anything at all?

DOUBLE YOUR HOLIDAY FUN!!!
Tomorrow (Feb. 9, 2005) is the official Chinese New Year. Hawaii has such a large Chinese population, you can bet it will be a party. We've had parties for this for the past two weeks. Exciting, huh?

Gmail

I finally remembered my G-mail account information. I signed on and discovered I had 50 invites! I sent one to myself because I want it again so now I have 49. The problem is, I don't know that many people. What do you think I should do with them? Make people suck up to me? Sell them? MAke people apply for it like a scholarship with an essay and stuff? Any suggestions? Anybody want an invite?
