  • Ghosts of Friends

    What happened to all those people I used to be friends with? Matt, Forest, Susan, Guy, Cory, Elise, Alley, Lindsay, Chapin, LJ, Matt, Ricki, and countless others from my life in Hawaii. Ryan, Dalton, Andy, Steve, Jenn, Kelly, Bridget, Michelle, Mike, Nate, Rob, and so many others I met in college. Rae, Contessa, JenX, Michaela,…

  • 1000 Oceans & 1 Misunderstanding

    “Later, this (really hot) girl came in to print another poster (she is running for [ASEWU] office), and as I was helping her, the Tori Amos song “1000 oceans” came on. She whips her head around and says, “this is my sister’s favorite song in the whole world, but she can never find it!” I…

  • She’s Back

    She invaded my dreams last night. It’s been a while. I dreamed I was back in Hawaii and She was yelling at me. The dream was so unsettling that I woke up. It was 1:01 in the morning. I lay in bed for about five minutes before going to the bathroom and getting a drink…

  • But Will Anybody Listen?

    I counted no less than a dozen channels that featured the president’s speech. $87 billion? I’ll tell him what he can do with his war…

  • Gang Warily

    In the Cornwall region of Southern England, in a little old farmhouse built in the mid 1700’s that has now been converted to a bed and breakfast, sits a lonely little man who types furiously on a keyboard. That man is me. It’s been a while since I last wrote because of the lack (or…

  • To Pee Or Not To Pee (The Coach Loo Is Disgusting)

    Today was nuts! We went to Stratford-upon-Avon and saw Shakespeare’s birthplace and his wife’s family’s house. We also went to Oxford and checked out Brasenose college. And that’s it. We were stuck in traffic for most of the day (on a coach (a bus in the states)), so there was little else to do. Mom…

  • Brings New Meaning To ‘Side Of Beef’

    Jamie Olvier’s restaurant in London called Fifteen is somewhere I’ve been wanting to go ever since I found out about it. We called today to make reservations for tonight. The voice on the other end of the line informed us that they were, in fact, taking reservations. For November. We also went to Harrod’s today.…

  • And Boy Are My Feet Tired

    Today we went to Buckingham Palace. It was big. Very big. Stunningly so. That’s really about it, though. I saw some famous Rembrandt (leave it to me not to know). I’m really annoyed that you’re not allowed to take pictures inside any of these places. There was this really hot chick working at the palace…

  • Where The Banshees Live And They Do Live Well

    So yeah, we saw Stonehenge today. I did a few Eddie Izzard routines, but no one in my family has any idea what I’m talking about. I didn’t know that you couldn’t walk right up to the stones. Mum says you used to be able to, but I guess they had a big problem with…

  • Hottest Day So Far

    Windsor Palace today. And this really lame ride down the Thames that was, in my opinion, not worth the £4.40 per person. It was also hot today. Possibly hotter, but past a certain point I can’t tell anymore. I couldn’t find a loo to fill up my water bottle right before we got on the…
