A touch of autumn
Because flowers offer the only change in color from the vibrant green foliage and brilliant blue sky:
Tis one of the many potted plants on our tiny unused balcony.
Events and conversations transpired quickly and it appears I will not be drinking alone tomorrow night. Or drinking at all perhaps, seeing as driving is involved. I have a date with a sweet, slightly homesick ex-Navy man who knows the island about as well as I do. So tomorrow after work, given my knowledge of the one way streets and his knowledge of Downtown Honolulu we will most likely end up terribly lost, but still find some eatery, bar or coffee shop tucked away like a little gem. He had a good point about food in Hawaii...it's unique. It's good. It's healthy. It's mostly rice and fish and it makes you really crave a normal burger or big slice of cow. Or something deed fried. In the words of a Sherwin known to many Pointer alumni: I'd eat a boot if it were deep fried. And it'll be nice be with someone not associated with work for a change. Someone who shares my desire to get some serious hiking done in the next months.
And Saturday after meeting with the two high schoolers I'm mentoring (as part of the Tempest) it's off to Wakiki for an evening of socializing and light drinking. And attempt to not look too much like a tourist.
And Sunday...shopping with someone I agreed to make a Halloween costume for. I get to knit a hat! It's knit two, purl two right?
Fairly tame, but out and about nonetheless. Not tethered to the TV or the computer screen. I'm saving the debauchery for the following weekend. I've succeeded in making a few male acquaintances outside of work to spend some time with. Next Friday night I'm going to see about a girl...and some apparel of the Gothic persuasion too warm and constricting to wear in the tropical daylight. I think I brought my dog collar with me...
yet another reason to consider a more private journal
;P
oh and THREE WEEKS CLEAN!!!
I'm no longer a smoker!
