So, I need to be awake in *squint* five hours, but I wanted to tell y'all about my illicit volcano adventure I had on Friday night when look_alive was visiting ( Read more... )

So I had an awesome time in Lupea. This place, I can't even express, to a person like me it's like Candyland. See, it's extremely remote, and on private property, only accessible by passing through several other large parcels of private property, so it's not really a place very many people get to see.

Gearing up for four-day trip to Lupea next week. Lupea being a remote, montane, dry forest area in Kona that I've been hearing about, that I've never been to and not a lot of people get to visit.

But I think I can manage a quick post about my archaeology weekend ( Read more... )

Yeah, so I really really don't have time to see Avengers again this weekend, BUT I AM GOING TO SEE IT TONIGHT ANYWAY. WITH MY ETERNAL BRO ERIC. AGAIN. LIKE A BOSS ( Read more... )

Let's make a list again, I like lists ( Read more... )

-Oh my god you guys, I love the people I live with. Thursday night was sushi night and everyone from the RM house and the other USGS house came over and we had a massive pile of sushi and miso soup and tofu-mushroom wontons and this beautiful monstrosity Brent invented that he called "redneck sushi", which involved bacon wrapped around cornbread ( Read more... )
