It is 8 am, and this is a placeholder until i complete shower and breakfast.

Sorry. Anyway, I spent a few hours just now calling Hawaii and figuring out who to get tickets from. I'm not going to use Travel Web because the tickets all seem to be about a thousand bucks each way. Cousin Diana is in travel. She'll help me.

After talking to my little brother for five minutes, I spent two hours playing total annihilation. I'm now going through the game on the "Impossible" setting. It's different. you have to play carefully, or you die. weird.

My old school online friend Olana (doesn't she look like a pumpkin?) related a dream to me about an odd mutant shark with lampray like features. It made me think of one of the ultimate bad things that Kris and I thought up. Vampire Sharks. Yeek. Sharks have multiple rows of teeth, and these would have big ass sawblade fangs, too. They'd bite a huge hole in you. It wouldn't take very long to suck most of your blood out. Well, now I've got to thinking about weird vampire shark/leeches, so I think it's time to find something else to do.

It's not hard to describe things in a literal way. Getting vague and symbolic is self indulgent, but I find myself doing it sometimes anyway. In some ways, it's sort of like a lie because you are being difficult to interpret on purpose, maybe even hoping to be misunderstood. Then again, I've spent most of my life being difficult to interpret on purpose.

If I ever get to name a color, I am going to name it "Snut".
