Holidays and Laziness (in Writing) Make For Very Long Periods In Between Posts

No excuses anymore! This isn't funny! At the very least I should have posted all the pages that I wrote in my travel diary that I took on my recent vacations to New York and Hawaii. (Note to self: figure out how to add the pdf images to this site).

Interesting things I've seen in the last few weeks:

  • Sea Turtles!
  • 30 Rockefeller Bldg. ( I kept hoping for Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin to walk out randomly.)
  • Two Waterfalls. (Tamar, Jim and I umped off of the rocks near one.)
  • A Small Superman sign glowing in a 7th floor window as the only confirmed indication that those were in fact DC Comics' corporate offices.
  • A bulldog making his great escape from his poor owner who turned into a track star in order to get said bulldog back.
  • Adults rolling around stage in fish costumes and wheelies singing 'Under The Sea' (Surreal!).
  • Conga line at a wedding!
  • The Winnie The Pooh toys of the real Christopher Robin.
  • Samoan man spinning and tossing a massive stick of fire.
  • Schools of tropical fish. (Think Finding Nemo but waaayyyy better!)
  • Lauren Graham singing in scantily-clad lingerie.
  • Black squirrel!!!! ( I haven't seen one in about 9 years or so!)
  • Drum circle. (Sarah and I walked into an ongoing session with about a dozen interchanging players. The beat went on and on and on.....)
  • Aquamarine seas and cobalt blue drop off points.
  • Hundreds of people crossing the street whilst cars were coming toward them and the 'Do Not Walk' sign was in amber glowing.
  • No crazy incidents on the subways.
  • Queens in the pouring rain.
  • Dunkin Donuts on every other corner.
  • A box of 3 lbs of flower petals. Said petals strewn all over a honeymoon suite.
  • Antique luggage of immigrants past on Ellis Island.
  • A bldg devoted to pineapple memorabilia at the Dole Plantation.
  • Tiny lizards and escaping crabs on pumice stone rocks.
  • Another beautiful sunset at Paradise Cove Resort on the west side of Oahu.
  • Pam and Jeremy lighting their Unity candle at their wedding!
I know there was even more stuff but these are the things that stood out most in my mind.

Comic-Con is in less than three weeks so I'll have more to post then! I promise!

P.S. Dear God, please let there be a True Blood panel! And let Alexander Skarsgard be in attendance! Eric Northman in HOT!!!
