today is sunday 01 january 2006.

so i'm thinking of what went on this last year--everything short of nothing. only april, october, and november were pretty calm.

got back from hawaii on thursday. actually ran out of time. next time i go to hawaii i'll eat saimin from shiro's saimin haven. next time i go to hawaii i'll stop by leonard's malasadas and espresso. next time i go to hawaii i'll stop by pearl harbor. next time i'm in hawaii i'll play with orbit more. next time i go to hawaii i'll actually stop at l and l. next time i got to hawaii i'll stop at zippys. next time i go to hawaii i'll stop for some korean food.

sounds like i did nothing--actually taking the charisian presence back to the homeland was a trip. kid her about the pretty trees which she kept taking a pictures of--i laughed because it was just a banana tree.

we did much sight seeing. and it gave me a chance to show off my homeland--this gave me a chance to connect back with my people.

and orbit is still a fat dog. and scared of the charisian presence to boot.

i finally got a new computer. the charisian presence was getting on my case because i spent more time looking for a computer than an engagement ring (and yes the ring did cost more than the computer). she also reminded me that she spent less time looking for a wedding dress for herself . . .

you gotta love getting a new machine and setting it up--actually i hate it. so i got my box of cds friday and i'm off installing and installing and installing.

specs--toshiba m55-3292. pentium m 730, 512 mb mem, 60 gig hd (yeah, i know it's small--but this does have dvd writer). a red cover to boot . . .

yeah and the hard part was finding her a name--meatloaf. i thought if i got a dog tomorrow what her name would be, so meatlof it is!
