I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, dedeleedeedee

This'll be my last post for a while, going to be travelling for the next bit before returning back to school. I'll still be posting all kinds of catch-up stuff from the Hawaii trip.

The title is benign, I do have a lovely bunch, though hard to husk.

I enjoy the asian lingualism on this too. Used to seeing yellow fold-over signs with Spanish below the English.

Saw it a long time ago, but Crash was a decent movie. Had a twisty ending.

Related lyrics, and a good song: Portishead – Nobody Loves Me (ft Massive Attack).

Old People: Now With Funny Stories!

Picture this: An elderly man, hard of hearing, is sitting in the front passenger seat of a car. His elderly wife is sitting in the back seat. The man's coat is draped over the seatback.

She says something to him. He doesn't respond. She says it again. Still no response.

She says, more loudly, "Do you have your hearing aides in?" He doesn't make any move of recognition. She repeats her query, louder yet. He at last responds, with an, "eh?" He doesn't turn around or anything.

She reaches into his coat pocket, and pulls out a little cloth pouch. She prods him on the shoulder a couple times, holding the puch over it. He turns his head and sees his hearing aides. He laughs, "How subtle!"

Umm... yeah, it was more funny at the time. I guess you'd have to be there.

Found this amusing too:

Have to cater to the majority asian population. Just odd seeing it at a place like Jack in the Box.

I'll close with a random question which I knew the answer to, but don't: what race is Yoda?

Liquid Sunshine

This is a very common term used by locals. A lot of the time there's some sort of water falling from the sky, but its not rain unless its really heavy. The sheets of sprinkling have been coined "Liquid Sunshine." On a hot day, it truly is a relief.

The moisture and greenery on parts of the island are still enthalling to me, coming from a desert.

Taken right outside an office.
This picture of low clouds in front of a purple sky really didn't work out. Was driving too fast, shaky.

Just now I heard and saw a music video by She Wants Revenge. They've got at least a decent sound. I'll be looking into more of their music.

Short post. I'll leave you with something on a topic I find greatly amusing: Sluggy Freelance 10/12/98
