Strangely, i've been somewhat productive today. Even after putzing around on the internet all morning and taking a super long lunch. But i don't feel like i've done anything, and i can't wait to get out of here. i'm such a total clock-watcher.

i don't know why i feel so lethargic. Maybe it's that i'm just coming off the flu. Maybe it's that i think i should really be in Hawaii right now, lazily floating on my back in the water of Kaneohe Bay. Paddling just enough to keep the tropical sun on my face. Looking out at that cute little island called Fisherman's Hat. Vaguely paranoid about the jellyfish and stingrays. Looking forward to some roast Kailua pig or maybe just a bowl of Zippy's chili rice. Playing ultimate frisbee with the friendly locals at the park, or dancing at one of them touristy dives in Waikiki. A Mai Tai or a Blue Hawaii in my hand. Going shopping at the Ala Moana in a bikini top and shorts. Eating fresh pineapple and mango and lychee and mountain apples. Seeing two or three rainbows every day. etc. etc.

. . .

Fuck, i'm still here.

2 Good gravy, is Ala Moana still there? Stay away from Waikiki--hook up with someone in the military and hit the beach at Hickam Field. We used to go there every Sunday when I was a kid, although every now and then the beach would be covered w/ Portuguese Men o' War, which sucked. But we were kids...we could have fun doing anything...

3 Hey, am I a Portuguese Man o' War? I don't know about Hickam Field and wasn't in the military, but Kaua'i is nice and peaceful. Pineapples, mangos, rainbows, waterfalls, white sand and bikinis... yummy. About 1000 miles due south of Hawaii are the Cook Islands which are gorgeous except that you really have to be careful to not step on stone fish.

4 Regarding work: it's too bad you can't do something I like to do up here at UC Davis: "partial attendance".
