Tsunami Watch

[sainteve]

Hangin' around, waiting for the tsunami.  It's not for a few hours.  Got the call from the landlady and the siren at the same time.  Packed some yummy snacks and headed for Gecko's boyfriend's ranch, way upland (1000 feet) but with a great view of the ocean.  Gecko made some strong coffee after the deli coffee we picked up along the way seemed too weak.  The sandwiches were warm and gooey but we got to the ranch before we had time to eat them in an evacuation style haste.  Now we'll have to eat them calmly while we update our Facebook pages.  I called Mom and Nicole who seemed concerned to say the least - Nicole (several texts) more than Mom, though Mom did manage to use her googlevoice account to reach me, so she must have been a little freaked.  The worst that would happen is that the airport gets smashed and we're stuck here picking mangoes out of trees and slathering ourselves with papaya bodyscrubs... forever.  I feel guilty about not finishing Jared's edit, but I brought my drive with me.  if we don't go hiking later, I'm hoping to finish it.

We are expecting a series of big waves rather than one big wall, so I'm hoping I can get some good pictures, since we are overlooking Hilo Bay - the bulls-eye of the waves.

Here was my horoscope today:

For the duration of the day you may be driven to look for exciting and stimulating activities and experiences. The ordinary experiences within relationships will not satisfy you. Whatever you do today for fun will be intended to provide a break from the norm. Therefore, look for something exciting, meet new people and have new adventures. These will be upsetting only if you are afraid of and resistant to new experiences.
