Quotable Quotes
I don’t know where this came from, but I think it’s hilarious.

Vog
The last couple of day have been hellish in Honolulu. We have been bombarded by Vog from the Big Island. Vog is basically like smog, except that the particles in the air come from volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide from the volcano on the Big Island. Today has been especially bad because the winds have died down and it’s humid as heck. Uggghh.
I think this is what global warming is going to be like in different parts of the world when it gets worse later on. Of course I don’t think the majority of people are going to realize that the conditions now are probably going to be the reality in a few years – simply because the vog should be going away in a day or so and people will forget about it.
I actually started working out again earlier this week. I was going to workout again last night, but decided against it simply because of all of the pollution in the air.
Ooof, I had a lot of things planned today, but I just feel so icky, I don’t even want to leave the house until the sun sets.

Lyon Arboretum
We had our end of session lunch at Hanaki in the Manoa Marketplace today. It was okay. My digestive system was still a little upset and just the smell of grease was making me sick. I was so nervous to go to this thing today. I have no idea why, it was weird.
I was going to do a little shopping there, but after lunch, I just didn’t feel like it, so I headed out to the Lyon Arboretum in Manoa Valley afterwards instead. I kept meaning to go there after I returned here from the mainland, but never did. Man, I love that place. It’s just so peaceful and lovely. I really need to get back there more often.
I just wandered around there for about half an hour. Yea, I know, not that long, but I wasn’t wearing proper footwear, and there were a ton of mosquitoes out. But, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this statue of the Buddha. I had forgotten it was there. It was just what I needed to end my time there though.
I think I am going to be taking another trip back there fairly soon. I really do need to figure out how to work my camera better though.

What A Relaxing Saturday
Seriously, I had one of the most relaxing Saturdays ever yesterday. I literally spent most of the day web surfing from my bed, it was awesome.
I did my typical Friday thing the nightt before – you know, get home and then pass out around 7 or 8pm and then sleep for 12 to 14 hours. Yippy! My life is exciting!
I really needed this time to just veg though. I was dragging this whole week and needed some time to unwind/get caught up on some much needed rest.
There was a little excitement in the neighborhood though.

Some dufus hit a fire hydrant on the street below mine and well, you can see what happened.
It only gushed like that for about 5 or 10 minutes before the fire department showed up and shut it off. Oh well.
So, I was a little bored tonight and so now, ugh, now I am thinking about getting a new camera again. I think I might go to Best Buy tomorrow and just check out a couple of those new fangled Canon’s – particularly the S5 and the SX100. They are both pretty similar, but the S5 has a few more features and is therefore more expensive. But, they both include manual controls over shutter or aperture, which is what I really want in a camera now.
Ooof, I’ll see. If anything I will head down to Best Buy to see if they have any Wii’s in stock. I doubt they will by the time I get there, but who knows.
