Oh darling, I know what you're going through.

Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

Last Supper

Met up with my brother for one last dinner at his workplace. Once again, he took care of the ordering. My taste buds are officially spoiled. Am extremely sad to say bye. So proud.



One more day, so much left to explore.

May I live here?

Think TSA would mind a wooden end table sticking out from my suitcase? Hello framed Cubeecraft templates! They even provide string, how thoughtful. If IKEA shipped to Hawaii, my wallet would die. Srsly.

Totally overheard Motion City's acoustic "Fell in Love Without You" while walking around the store. iMiss.

Dinner & a Sony

Dinner with my brother at Ducca was pure awesome. Left the ordering up to him, which was a wise choice. Just about died as the Gnocchi with Braised Oxtail Ragu hit my tongue.

Haven't realized how much I missed him till I was in his presence again. We hung out at the Metreon after dinner and wasted time fooling around with the newest Sony gadgets. Also strolled the Yerba Buena Gardens, which was a terrific way to unwind. There were no clouds in the sky, an occasional chilly breeze, and the moon shone so bright. Goodness, I'm hearting this city.

5 day home

The Mosser is a neat little hotel. Room is small, but it'll serve it's sleeping habitat purpose. Not too sure about the whole shared bathroom & shower thing though. It's like dorms, but cleaner. Hooray for cable!

Adult Swim on the TV, take-out Pad Thai in my mouth, wondering about what to do tomorrow. Sleepy winks, cometh.

As our plane was being taxi'd out of the gate, the mechanics noticed hydraulic fluid leaking from the nose. Taxi'd back in, and after a quick diagnostic, something about a small leak with having to replace the O-ring (which coincidentally was the same part that needed to be replaced at the start of the July trip with US Airways). Hawaiian Air did a really nice job with updates every 15 minutes, while accommodating those who would have a later connecting flight at SFO. Wasn't really bothered by the hour half wait. You know, the whole "arrive alive" thing.

Pleasantly surprised at Orbitz ringing the cel to say they noticed the flight was delayed, and subsequently called my hotel to let them know of my later arrival. Customer service, thumbs up!

Thinking I'm either really lucky or SOL when it comes to airplanes. Whatever the case, glad to not have landed belly down.

Currently waiting for my ride, and kind of falling in hearts with this cozy chilly weather as I curb hang. I thrive in this type of weather. Hello SF, let's have some fun.

How to find airport lot parking in 5 minutes -> Offer a ride to the guy searching for his auto via car alarm button. Works every time.

Currently watching people slowly shift themselves away from this guy singing to himself. Homeboy is just really enjoying his music. Thinking I'll go ask what he's listening to, sounds pretty nice.

It's fine.

The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws,
if you look toward the sky even on your grayest night.

Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair,
your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?
