Ran 3 miles in 90-degree heat yesterday = I am awesome. Twitter RSS feed still not updating = Twitter is not awesome.
Adventures in Tikiland

Thursday I am leaving for a two-week road trip through Florida, America’s Vacationland. Halfway through we’re stopping in Fort Lauderdale for The Hukilau.
Posting will be light but I’ll return with tons of photos and stories. In the meantime, I’m satisfying myself with some tiki-riffic links, like this NY Times article, about the treasure trove that lies inside the Trader Vic’s warehouse.

Slipped on the freshly mopped floor this morn, and I think I broke my left big toe. Seriously, it’s surrounded by a large purple bruise.

It hurts badly. And yet, I still went for a 3-miler this evening. Pictures (of the toe, not the run) to be posted to Flickr tomorrow.
Now I’m feelin’ Zombified

I only wish I’d learned this kind of stuff in my motorcycle safety classes.
Oh, I have another video for you too, but it’s in very, very poor taste.

Guess what? I’m turning this site into a tumblelog. As if you haven’t noticed my gradually increasing tendency to post only Twitter updates and YouTube video.
God, this exactly the kind of meta-blogging blog post that I hate. I was ruminating on this last night at Stitch ‘n’ Bitch — why do I always think that everything I make or create has to come out perfect? I have spent so much time on this silly little narcissistic website that I almost take the joy and spontaneity out of it for myself.
Less talk, more rock. That’s what we need. Except Wordpress and I aren’t on good terms right now either. Why can’t you just do what I want you to do, inanimate object?
Point of this post is to tell you that I have been having many adventures, and I want you to hear all about them. I’ll get to them as soon as I can. Patience, my pet.
In the meantime, I’ve updated the Movies page. I’ve seen some real shitters this year.
