I'm having a considerable amount of difficulty adjusting back to Eastern Standard Time. The six hour difference between Hawaii and North Carolina is really taking it's toll on me. I haven't gone to bed earlier than 3:00 or 3:30 am this week, and I've been waking up around 10-ish in the morning. The first day back I slept until 1:30pm, which has to be some...

I'm in the process of preparing myself for a month's worth of tv watching, which is something that I don't do very often. Why, you ask?
It's World Cup time!
First match--Germany vs. Costa Rica, 11am eastern time tomorrow.
Yee haw! I'm as giggly as a schoolgirl.
Go USA!

Do you think the US has a good chance?
thefox:
Not sure about the US... was disappointed in Sweden... hope to see better in the coming games.
Argentina falls a lot, no? The Ivory Coast should have tied on that one... dude was totally off-sides... not that Argentina isn't a more talented team (they seem to be), but The Ivory Coast played so hard, and relatively honestly... it would have been nice to see them get a point in their first game.
I know why it happens, but it really pisses me off (in any sport) when a team just runs the clock down. It makes for boring spectating. I know you want to win, and that you're tired, but that's no reason to stop playing. Ah, well.
Okay, off to bowling.

Well, I know that I am ready to come home. Hawaii is nice, but my primary indicator has been that the other people participating in the workshop are starting to annoy me. And, as we all know, in any group activity, it only takes one or two to spoil the time for everyone.
There are three colleagues in particular who are driving me nuts.

I guess it be said that some colleagues are like fish and go bad after a few days.
The answer cut them up and make sushi out of them.
Don't let three morons ruin paradise for you.

hehe, hello hello!
hehe, hello hello!Wow, I didn't think I would be so busy in Hawaii. For those of you who think I am sitting on the beach drinking Mai tais every day, think again.
Here's a breakdown of my schedule this week:
Monday-Friday: Japanese language lessons, 8;30-9:30 am
Monday: lectures on domestic Japanese politics, 9:30 am-3:00 pm. Observation of Japanese lantern ceremony on Waikiki (this is work, I promise)...

Snakes on a plane I can handle - sitting in the back of the plane next to the toilets - that's the real nightmare.

So - you're home?
Let me know when you're down for some Warcraft...

Arrived safely in Hawaii yesterday. Everything is going well so far!
The weather is perfect--low 80s, sunny, breezy. Mountains on one side of me, the ocean on the other.
One of the things that I knew to expect in Hawaii, but didn't really realize to what extent until I got here, was the tremendous diversity on the island. There are tons of polynesians, Japanese, and...

Great. It is bloody cold here. You wouldn't know it was summer.
Seriously, hope you're having a great time.

have fun!
Okay. I'm due an update. I figured I'd give everyone an update on the comic book that I am working on. First, and I know a few of you will ask, but RaleighBoy won't be the primary artist on the book. I'm hoping to use him on a later project, but I don't think it's feasible on this one at this point.
So for the...

You know I don't hate you dude. You rule! I'm just a lazy son of a bitch. And also... I have to keep the far and few between creative comments for the ladies! You know how it is, you pimp you. 
Give me a ring next time you're gonna be in the area dude!

Life is good!
It's funny, and it sounds sappy, but I'm going through a very nice and positive period in my life, and there's no reason to think that things are going to change anytime soon.
For one thing, I've got a good job, where I am content and productive. I enjoy my work environment. So many people I know and talk with hate what...

yah...you better be on tonight when my set goes up!
I'm still here...I promise.
To be brief, I'm buried under papers, and hoping to get all of them graded before finals week arrives 2 weeks from now.
I can't believe the lack of even basic English grammar that some students have...it's abyssmal.
But, when I get through the rest of this semester, the countdown to Hawaii begins! WooT!

That Ghana and Czech Republic game was pretty good. I also can't believe the US is still in contention.
Have fun at the world cup. Don't turn into a hooligan.
Nice profile picture.
Thank you about my parenting skills, we are VERY PROUD.
