0 Days / Day 1: Aloha!

Aug. 14th, 2007 | 09:31 am

Well, not quite yet. We're waiting at gate 25 in LAX for our flight. We were up all night stealthily moving stuff out to the curb, packing things, fighting, trying to avoid mental breakdown.

In the end, we had to give up. We left a TON of stuff at the apartment, some of it quite valuable. That Ikea TV stand, a 13" TV, a couple DVD players, a mess of CDs...

Really, I vastly underestimated both the amount of *stuff* we had and how long it would take to sell/get rid of it all.

In other news, this livejournal is of now officially dead. I'm going forward under a new LJ handle. Y'all should know or easily guess what that new handle is. See you on the other side.

3 DAYS: Just great...

Flossie upped to Cat 3, heads for isles
Hurricane Flossie had 115 mph maximum sustained winds and 132 mph gusts early this morning
Star-Bulletin staff / cityeditors@starbulletin.com

Forecasters warn Hawaii residents to be prepared for what is expected to be the first hurricane to enter the Central Pacific region this season.

While the storm is supposed to weaken and pass south of the islands, forecasters say it makes sense to be ready if Hurricane Flossie takes a different tack. "Anybody in the Hawaiian Islands should be watching this thing," said Sam Houston, lead forecaster for the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Flossie was moving west at 13 mph yesterday about 1,400 miles east-southeast of Hilo. Early today it was expected to pass 140 W latitude, the boundary for the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's region. Last month, Hurricane Cosme became a tropical depression before crossing into the Central Pacific...

4 DAYS: Anyone want my pet fish?

Aug. 10th, 2007 | 02:38 am

I'm hoping to get a positive response from one of my friends in L.A. before I post this to the LA livejournal community, and before I post to Craigslist.

I have a 30-gallon fish tank with lighted lid, plants, filter, air pump, gravel, and plants, which is home to two goldfish, an algae eater, two zippy fish (I don't know what they're called ciclids or something, maybe. They're like guppies.), and a dwarf African frog.


Girl not included in offer.

Does anyone want to take over caring for my fish? I'll give it all to you for nothing. One of the goldfish is big, probably about six inches long, and is about two or three years old. I'd rather give it to someone I know, than take my chances with a stranger who may flush the fish down the toilet and use the tank to keep his pet iguana or something.

5 DAYS: "God Only Knows"

Aug. 9th, 2007 | 05:07 pm

Brian Wilson originally intended to sing lead vocal on 'God Only Knows' but in the end he sacrificed the lead vocal to his brother Carl: "Well, I thought I was gonna do it. As the song progressed, I said, 'Hey, I feel kind of natural doing this.' But when we completed creating the song, I said my brother Carl will probably be able to impart the message better than I could, so I sacrificed that one. But he had a good time singing it."
