I’m going to Hawaii in A mere *two days*. Wicked. I should start packing.
People keep asking me which Island we’re going to. Truth is, I don’t know. I think it’s the big one. I really haven’t spent much time thinking about the vacation actually. I mean, I *really* haven’t. It’ll be my first travel-vacation-trip on my own…with 23 good friends along for the ride. I just have to see how it turns out. You have to mess something up before you know to fix it.
And, in a strange twist of scheduling conflicts, a deadline at work! I believe this is the first deadline I’ve *ever* received from Trung. And, wouldn’t you know it, I’ll be gone for most of the time. Course it’s a project for the whole group, really, and he’s known about this for months. And part of the reason that the deadline is so early is because *he’s* going on vacation too. So I do what I can for the first couple days of the week, and then take off. We’re trying to demonstrate some code for people on September 7th. I’ll be back September 8th. I’m holding up my little corner of the project, though. So I don’t think my departure will be the cause of too much undue suffering. Not to say there won’t be suffering, because we’re trying to turn out a demo in about a week, and it’s not an easy task (Trung said he could do it in two hours. He is *lying*.) I just won’t be here for it. Lucky, unlucky? Time will tell.
Mmm…gotta shave again too.
Here’s my shopping list for Hawaii.
Goggles.
Sunscreen.
That’s it, really. But believe you me, I’m going to be *piling* on the sunscreen. If I manage to escape Hawaii unscathed, it will be a miracle of near-biblical proportions. Anyone have any spare melanin I could borrow?
I think I’m going to wait until I get back to shave my head again. There’s something to be said for exposing a soon-to-be-bald head to some sun, building up the tan up there, but I don’t think Hawaii is the place to start. I’ve only got a touch o’ hair up there, but it should be enough to keep me mostly un-charred. I hope.
I didn’t do anything interesting this weeked. Well, that’s a lie. I did go out and play some beach volleyball with work friends on Friday. But other than that, this was a video-game intensive weekend. I got Knights of the Old Republic, an excellent RPG, and a PS2 Game called ‘Viewtiful Joe’ that is 25 shades of *ridiculously awesome*. Serious. Some may consider a weekend so dense with video games to be downright lame. I, on the other hand do not. I had a great time.
Course, I forgot to go to church. Eep! It’s a habit I have to get into. Sunday, church, Sunday, church. Pattern.
Mmm…nothing else. TKD, classes, everything moves swiftly along.
Boil the hamburger,
