i realized that i like watching american idol with my parents. i wouldn't really watch this show by myself, but i really enjoy watching it with my parents. i guess it's all surface enough that we can all weigh in with our opinions without having any issues. and there are a lot of "safe" things to talk about, like what makes someone a good singer, ( Read more... )

i am 31 and just realized that i am stubborn.

i forgot that blogs are for random thoughts. so here's one: i just realized that kea frequently rereads books. i'm talking fun books. like when he wants something to read, he'll just look through our shelves and pick up one of his old irvine welsh books or old fantasy or something. i, on the other hand, rarely reread fun books. this summer i ( Read more... )

dreamt i was in an apartment/dorm/office thing. idk it was some shared space that i was in working on my laptop with some other folks. and it was on campus cuz there were all these people walking around outside, like as if they were going to and from class. this guy kept pointing a gun at the window but it looked fake and i figured he was just ( Read more... )

Yesterday at Barnes Kahala they were totally pushing the Nook. Like we walked in and this dude was by the door holding one and all like "Have you seen the Nook?"

Another is graduating high school this year and the triplets are freshmen in high school. We spent quite a bit of time with one of the triplets over spring break because he's living with K's mom right now. I guess ( Read more... )

went birthday present shopping for my six-year-old niece. really trying to stay away from girly things because as the only girl in a family with six kids, i think all she gets is girly stuff. and not just girly stuff but like Disney princess stuff. i am sure that at a certain point it's nearly impossible to avoid those things, but anyway ( Read more... )

I got in at 9:30 am EST after flying out of Honolulu at 5 pm HST. I got only a couple hours of sleep on the plane--despite having the smallest, least-offensive smelling seatmates ever (a woman about my size and a 12-year-old)! Got home and slept from 11 am-1 pm. Then got up to get work done. My draft of my job application letter is due at noon ( Read more... )
