Just got dropped off by Julie, who has been moping about how her life in Seattle is awful and nobody loves her.
She may move back to Alaska, someday. Is it a statistic that people tend to live in their hometown? They start off in
Xtown, grow up, move away to 'live' a little, get sick of 'live'ing and then move back to Xtown, get married and spend the rest of their life there.
The people I've seen move away from Hawaii seem to be leaking back to where they used to live. The band is held in place by our mutual
interest in each other staying where we are, and the fact that there's not a lot to miss in Hawaii for some of us. Even Michelle, who I thought was
bound to be living in Europe somewhere by now is living and working in Hawaii. It's a trap!
Even now, days after returning, I don't feel homesick at all. There was nothing for me there. I don't like the weather much. The music scene was
this mostly homogenous, stagnanting glob of gunk. My very best friend moved to Seattle when I moved. (That's Kris.) What is there? Well, okay,
there are still a few cool people there. mm, and I wish there were a better approximation of Zippy's than Denny's here. Another thing, everything is
so unrealistically expensive in Hawaii. Gahh. Well, I guess I know why I'm not homesick.

I've been eating these Doritos "3Ds" things for a couple of days now. I am heartily amused by the name. Are they trying to appeal to
the video game players, who have been enjoying an explosion in the field of 3D technology? I, personally, am quite taken with the
idea of eating 3-D food. On the back of the big package of "3Ds", the summary (or whatever it is you'd call that gushing description on the back
of most snack food bags) repeatedly urges you to stop reading and experience the rush of eating a 3D. The little bag just says "THE LOUDEST TASTE ON EARTH".
Oo. Extreme food. I bet these would go well with SURRRRRGE! Part of this complete-ly EXTREME FOOD NIGHTMARE! YEAAAGH! EAT 'EM WHILE ROLLERBLADING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOOVER DAM!
Doritos 3Ds brand extreme snack food comes in two extreme flavors. "Nacho Cheesier" and "Cooler Ranch". More flavors probably
forthcoming when they figure out how to make "barbeque" into an infinitive.
Oh, they're "3D" because instead of having line shaped cross sections, they're inflated into mini-zeppelins of corn meal.
Three good examples of extremity: SHOCK brand extreme coffee, Extreme activities with Space Moose, and
Extreme Flower Picking.
Actually, that coffee is sort of interesting. Espresso made using SHOCK coffee beans could be some kind of health hazard. (mm, how extreme.)
(Ha ha, insert some random joke about something incongruously extreme. Move on.)
