This and that

It's no secret that this cast loves to play boardgames. This is me after winning the game of LIFE. It was my first time playing. I guess I'm just better at life than Brett, Jeff, and Jeannie.


Looks complicated


I walk by this boat every Saturday in Honolulu. I think it's a good looking boat.


My first sewing kit.

Where we do our laundry. Keep in mind that this is the "Officer's Laundry" so it's much nicer than crumby "Crew Laundry".


Thought this might be of interest. This is what all of the hallways on board look like.


Cruise ships.


My apple intake average (aia): 5 a day.


Nothing really to see here, just me winning again. Oh and do I look tired? It's because it's 1am and we had been playing for over two hours!!


If I wrote a sketch about a man spraying his body with what he thinks is sunblock but is actually NAIR, people would say it was too far fetched.


I think I just love that somebody buys this and is inspired by it.


A picture of the future. (Lauren and I)

These are some pictures and thoughts that don't really fit into any other blog posts.

First time tennis

Brett in the background. He's pretty good!


Brett in the background. He's ruining my trading card pose.


I played tennis for the first time yesterday at an awesome court site in Maui. It was craaaaazy hot outside! I was awful. I'll definitely do it again.

Running in Honolulu

Diamond Head in the distance.


This was cute to see. All of these people painting the same area of the beach.




This was their view.


Just a couple of big-ass dragon boats. You know, Hawaii stuff.


I thought this was adorable.

I went for a run Saturday morning along the Honolulu coast. So many beautiful sights.

The Luau- Kauai

Old Man Hawaii


The performers were excellent!


Warriors.


Enjoying the show.


This image really harnesses the Hawaiian spirit. And an X-Men spirit.

Fire Spinner

Watch this video! This guy is ridiculously talented.


I had to. Shaka.


Aww...


After the Luau, Brett and I went to my least favorite place, the tavern in Kauai. Those two jerks to the left are locals doing what all locals in this tavern do, ruin everyone's time. Please keep in mind that I am only against the locals in this particular tavern. They're just drunken trouble.


On the walk back to the ship we decided to try and take an "all-jumping" photo. It turned out to be much harder than you would think. Pictured here: Brett not off the ground.


Also on the way back to the ship I saw two people leaving the ship to go on a run. It was about 2am and I totally wanted to go! I met up with some other dude who was going, ran to the ship, changed, and then met up with the other runners. It was awesome! We ran for 45min in the starry skied Kauai night.


We went to a gigantic luau!! The luau was presented for the ship's crew only and I think everyone had a great time. Food wise I had pork, rice, mahi mahi, chicken, a coconut dessert, rice pudding, and 4 squares of guava cheesecake. All delicious.

Snorkeltown USA

We went on a crew-only snorkel excursion!


Home.


Some of the crew as we approached our snorkel spot.


The spot. Doesn't look like much from above but there is a gigantic colorful coral reef under there. Also under there: beautiful fish, sea turtles, and even a white-finned shark which both Brett and Jeff got to see!! I went back in looking for it but had no luck.



Lunch time!


Heading back after a fun day. (Oh yeah, my crappy snorkel gear broke because it's crappy and broken)

Snorkeling in Hilo 5-26-09

Brett and Mark walking on lava which makes up most of the coast line in Hilo and makes for beautiful black sand beaches.





Apparently I have red hair.


I saw a freaking sea turtle!!


Snorkel for life!!


Snorkeling. This last week has been all about snorkeling for me. It started with a breakfast conversation Brett and I had with some of the musicians last week. They told us about the snorkel hot spots on some of the islands and even where to buy decent snorkeling gear at a good price (Wal-Mart). Me, Brett, and Mark went to the black sand beaches of Hilo (on the big island) where I snorkeled for my second time. The first time I snorkeled was in Kona immediately after Brett and I bought our snorkel gear from Wal-Mart. The THIRD time I went snorkeling was yesterday, also in Kona, with most of the cast and a lot of the ship's crew. My snorkel mask ripped. Maybe Wal-Mart isn't the best place for snorkel equipment.
Anyway, I really like snorkeling!!
(Snorkel or Snorkeling was said 17 times in this post. 19 times.)

Oh crap

Terminator Booger Knife

It really is a cute little theatre.


Bottom right corner.


I know, too much.


The plan was to save one pack for the ship.


I ate both freaking packs of the Sixlets!!!!


I was sooo scared to take this picture. I knew I was committing a Federal crime.


Last night we went to the same theatre where we saw Star Trek a couple weeks backs. You remember, the place that hasn't been remodeled since 1989? Yeah, it's a great place. We saw the new Terminator movie, a movie (like the other ones we've seen) I wouldn't normally see in "real" life. Jeannie made the same point saying that we live such surreal lives on the ship and all that it makes sense to see any (crumby) movie we want.
My review: If you like metal and fire, you'll love this flick!
The title of this blog "Terminator Booger Knife," comes from a saying my friend Neil Sung's little brother used to run around screaming. Neil and his family are Korean (Yobosayo!) and his little brother Steve was super cute. Imagine a little Korean boy running around screaming, "Terminator booger knife!!". Well, my friends and I used to love it.
