August 30, 2009

Blue skies, white clouds, tropical breezes. Win! #
Just about to walk out to the beach. The anticipation! #
I find this acceptable: http://twitpic.com/f0px1 #
Notice how @helava is barely able to hide his inner despair: http://twitpic.com/f0ur3 #
Only 10am and already we've had a fun, full day. Floating in the water took all the pressure off my joints and mind. Wonderful. #
Grabbing burgers at Teddy's Bigger Burgers. #
My waterlogged ear has cleared. Much rejoicing commenced. #
I do believe it's nap o'clock. #
Like Frankie and Annette, it's back to the beach. #
About to head out to friend's family's house for dinner. #
@aaa It's our first time! We are loving it. in reply to aaa #
@so_yun It's really amazing. in reply to so_yun #
@eisfore Being in the water is such a relief. in reply to eisfore #
@bcaudill It's so pretty. And we are staying so close to it. 🙂 in reply to bcaudill #
Friend's family was awesome, homemade dinner was ono, and we'll be seeing them again next Sunday. 🙂 #
Getting ready to watch the new episode of ABDC. Heh. #
Wow. Those two bottom crews really were the best of the night. Really wish they could kick someone else off instead. #abdc #
I wonder what today will bring. 🙂 #
RT @WordAce: RT @precentral: Review: Word Ace http://bit.ly/OS6Oh #palmpre #wordace #
At Boots and Kimo's for breakfast. 🙂 will drive up coast to North Shore afterwards to see some sea turtles and maybe snorkle. 😀 #
Fried rice & macadamia nut pancake were indeed onolicious. http://twitpic.com/f4nja #
2 tips for going to Boots & Kimo's: 1. 8am is early enough to beat the crowds; 8:35 is already too late. 2. Pack a jacket; it's cold inside #
At Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, waiting for it to open. http://twitpic.com/f529x #
RT @helava: Our stuff got stolen from our car at the North Shore. Fun. Camera, phones, my wallet, Kindle, Sony Reader & more. Awesome… 😐 #
@eisfore I miss my 253 girls too… 🙁 in reply to eisfore #
Phones replaced, cards cancelled. Now eating early dinner of musubi, curry katsu, ramen, gyoza: http://twitpic.com/f6okb #
@Ryuhi thanks… It sucks and the loss of $ and our stuff suck really badly, but we're gonna enjoy the rest of the trip if it kills us! 🙂 in reply to Ryuhi #
Back at the condo, watching tv. Skin around shoulders stinging from no sunblock today. Doh! #
Ugh. The thing that bothers me most is that someone else will be using our stuff. That and the $$ required to replace at least the phones. #
Tomorrow is a new day. 🙂 #
Back at Boots and Kimo's to meet friend and her baby. Where is she?? #
Wish I had #wordace on this phone. #
Ready to take a nap, with a ton of aloe lotion slathered onto our backs. #
Waiting for friend & baby to come by to go to the beach. #
@hja @RobZograph As someone who writes software for a living, there is a lot I'd give away for free IF ASKED. If u pirate it, I want to kill in reply to hja #
@hja @RobZograph W @helava in game industry, I know how it hurts indie devs who can't get volume of giants. Plus, y entitled to take? in reply to hja #

@JustPete74 Thanks! The fact we are actually in Hawaii definitely helps us to have a good attitude. 🙂 in reply to JustPete74 #
@hja Thanks for the tip! Tried all credit cards and home insurance for both theft and travel related coverage, but situation not covered. 🙁 in reply to hja #
Today, we'll be heading to the Polynesian Cultural Center, thanks to @scrapper101! 🙂 #

Seated for the Ha show. #
Clarification: seated for Ha: the Breath of Life show to wrap up the day at the PCC. http://twitpic.com/ff4mm #
Fire show was EPIC! #
@SwanL Sounds like a much needed break! I hope you have a good, relaxing time away from work. in reply to SwanL #
@bcaudill quite beautiful! We'll have to make a note to catch the sunrise over here before we leave. in reply to bcaudill #
Ate a curry bun & a spam-egg bun, then went to Lanikai beach. Saw a turtle! #
About to head back to Lanikai with snorkle gear. #
Snorkling while pregnant is awesome because I can do everything an unpregnant version of me can do w/o a 2nd thought, including panic. 😀 #
@abecedary Yes. 🙂 I've often wondered if we would have made faster progress in math as a society if we had 8 fingers instead of 10. in reply to abecedary #
Seppo reenacting his response upon finding out the 'lilikoi' in his lilikoi ice tea is passionfruit. http://twitpic.com/fj7e1 #
I just had a garlic chicken plate and @helava had a kalua pork plate at Uahi Grill that just blew my mind. Best chicken EVAR. in reply to helava #
Getting up to pee several times a night is getting really old. #
At Laniakea Beach. Honu count: 4. http://twitpic.com/fm0kw #
RT @westcoastbill: Word Ace for the Palm Pre is now "Featured" in the app store! congrats! #

@MJ Happy 100-il!!!! Can't wait to see cute pics of Amelia, as well as the cupcakes. 🙂 in reply to MJ #
@AngryChad @Ryuhi LOL! in reply to AngryChad #
Got up, ate a mango, bobbed in the ocean. Spotted another sea turtle very close to us. @helava swam behind it for a bit. All before 10am! 🙂 #
At Hanauma Bay, getting ready to snorkel with @helava. http://twitpic.com/frn8q #
Wow, Waikiki may be someone else's idea of paradise, but for us, it's horrifying. Heh. Glad we are staying in Kailua. 🙂 #
Waiting outside Tokkuri Tei for an early dinner. http://twitpic.com/fsvfj #
Agree with @helava that Tokkuri-Tei was awesome. We need to take Ayyana to Gochi to thank for recommendation. 🙂 in reply to helava #
Hung out with the K's for a bit before checking out the Obon festival. Great andagi (Okinawan donuts) and taiko drumming! Great all around. #
My poor, swollen feet finally get some rest for the first time today. Whew! http://twitpic.com/ftnsg #
@bcaudill LOL! They do look pretty goofy. 🙂 Worth it to take in some taiko drumming though! in reply to bcaudill #
@GearDiarySite http://tinyurl.com/kpjyhp Great review there! Note you don't have to wait until the final countdown to start locking words. in reply to GearDiarySite #
An andagi recipe I will be cooking from when I get back home: http://tinyurl.com/koaaud #

Swinging wildly between full comprehension of state disability and family leave laws and understanding nothing at all. #
Why is it that when I wake up randomly, all my thoughts are highly distressing, keeping me from going back to sleep? #
@aaa Now I want to know how you know so much about @StephDecker's sleeping habits! :O in reply to aaa #
Suddenly famished. Craving some kimchi jigae. Get up and cook or try to fall back asleep for a bit? Or fail at both? That one sounds right. #
Yup. Fail. #

@NBB1 I had no signal there, if you are where we were! in reply to NBB1 #

@groovaloos When are you coming up to the Bay Area?! I'd totally go! in reply to groovaloos #
@SwanL So true. That's 1 of the things I loved about Donyelle: she was sexy but her dancing wasn't about exploiting that. Gr8 season opener! in reply to SwanL #
@eisfore It makes me want to cry! Not in a good way. Thinking about the $$ and headache makes me want to curl up under my desk and hide. in reply to eisfore #
Officially 80% of our way through the pregnacy. Baby is ~4lbs now, based on statistical averages, not on direct measurement. Wacky! #

I know I'm old because when we got the new xbox360 update, 1st thing I watched was a healthcare documentary on netflix. Heh. #

Exhausted after 7.5 hours of brunch-b-que, at least 1.5 of which was spent playing a game on our phones. #
Will be making bacon cheddar scallion corn muffins again. Don't think cinnamon buns will be a repeat though. #
@eisfore Think of a savory corn bread stuffing you might have for thanksgiving, and these were pretty close. 🙂 in reply to eisfore #
The only downside to a large BBQ is not getting to spend as much time with each person as I wanted to. Good times though! #
Coke ribs and fried chicken by @helava today were the best I've ever had. So good that I want more to nom on right now. #
