current song: Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO

last night... watching replay... fell asleep. UH got swept.

tonight's rematch much more entertaining. started watching the 3rd set w/ match tied 1 set apiece. BYU looked good. seemed like BYU service errors kept Hawaii in the match. last service stat I remember flashing on air... BYU had 23 and Hawaii had 18... service errors. BYU practically gave Hawaii a set. in 3rd set... for instance... lead switched several times. set ended w/ BYU service error. Hawaii up 2 sets to 1.

in 4th and 5th sets BYU cleaned up its service game. Hawaii could have won any of those sets... and the match... but lost. disappointing loss.

Hawaii 1-dimensional in its offense. lots of sets went to Umlauft. box score showed Umlauft receiving 60 sets... almost twice as much as the next attacker. BYU more varied in its attack.

no drifting vessels for me to use as markers. did see tug boat pulling tourist submarine back to port.

friend Althea didn't come to glorious downtown Honolulu today for lunch. still jet lagged from her Asia trip. she wanted to go out to dinner instead.

thank you Cake Couture for opening up downtown location. since Althea's birthday few solar days ago... bought her 2 cupcakes... red velvet and turtle... for her after dinner dessert. I bought 2 cupcakes for myself... orange creamsicle and turtle... for immediate consumption. cupcakes moist... but for me... all about the frosting. orange creamsicle frosting not so creamy. similar to vanilla cupcake. okay... but wouldn't purchase it again. now... turtle cupcake kicked ass. moist chocolate cupcake w/ ganache frosting sprinkled w/ nuts and drizzled w/ caramel. frellin' mmmmm. would purchase turtle cupcake again.

pigged out at So Gong Dong... a Korean restaurant... for dinner. must have had about 8 different side dishes. tried them all... but pigged out on kimchi and seaweed. friend of ours couldn't eat all her rice. too bad she didn't give me her bowl earlier in the evening. I could've made my own bibimbap w/ all the side dishes.

ordered a lot. fried mandoo = onolicious. kalbi = onolicious... ate every piece of meat off the bones... only leaving bones. meat jun = onolicious... very tender. oyster jun = onolicious. bulgogi = onolicious. soondubu looked onolicious. stir fried rice cake in hot sauce = onolicious. no KDrama celebs in da house.

afterwards Althea wanted to go to Ala Moana to shop for gifts to bring back home to San Francisco. walked off the calories. fought diabetes onslaught. she treated me to a Cinnabon. mmmmm... onolicious.

3.999 per gallon for unleaded gas at Costco.

malasadas plug. will Leonard's see an increase in sales? hopefully. need people to spend currency to boost GSP.

comic conventions filmed at convention center. how much did these extras get paid for dressing up in costumes? hopefully they spend the extra currency to boost GSP.

at convention... boys asking people help to locate girl to question. Danno calls black dude in Star Trek uniform captain Kirk. black dude's like: any see any brutha's on Star Trek? white boys: there's Uhura. black dude: she ain't no brutha... she just answered the phones... I'm from Deep Space 9. still waiting to see how liberal liberal Hollywood is. will show ever use the word popolo as frequently as haole? I doubt it.

boys have a lead. head to Kailua beach. last went there w/ friend Sheila. heard of monk seal sighting. she picked me up... drove there... no monk seal sighting. we did see a Portuguese man-of-war on shore. pretty cool.

bridge where McGarrett got intel on CIA hottie located in Chinatown.

surprised show didn't change name of Club Femme Nu. hopefully that place gets more business too. pump currency into GSP.

Mark Dacascos makes an appearance. he does have a sweet job on Iron Chef America. all he does is eat.

I actually enjoyed this ep.

for the 4th consecutive Monday... humpback activity to start the work week.

along wall facing Aloha Tower... noticed few people looking out to sea. saw several spouts. cool... at least 1 whale in area. after couple minutes... 2 whales simultaneously surfaced. cool. this happened in 1st 4 minutes chillaxin' on wall. that was it. they must have took one deep breath... deep dive.

for the next 5 minutes... far far in the distance... 3 simultaneous spouts. at least they looked like spouts. then again could have been from the waves... but Pacific calm this afternoon. as I walked away... I thought I saw a huge splash from a breach. then again... that could have been a wave too. anyway... got to see 2 whales surface once simultaneously.

when I went to Waikiki side... as I got closer... noticed 2 of the 3 non-leans who witnessed heat run last Monday. good for them... walking the diabetes away. perhaps one solar day I'll see them running.

chillaxed for 5 minutes. nothing. noticed dozens of surfers waiting for waves. again... Pacific calm. they looked like seals in the water.

Umami Cafe

friend Althea in town again until Thursday. the last time she came... we planned to go to pick up plate lunches... drive to Laniakea... watch na honu... and drive back to town along the west coast... hopefully see some humpbacks. supposed to have done that yesterday. what happened? she still jet lagged from her Asia trip... passed out until 12:00. myself? got up frellin' early... took a nap... more like a sleep... and got up at 16:00.

anyway for my lunch break I went to Umami Cafe. bought 2 bentos... 1) shoyu chicken and 2) chicken katsu don... each at $4.99. I planned to eat one for lunch and the other as a snack after I got my swam and ran on at the beach.

when I got back to the office Althea called sayin' that she'd drop by. I asked her what she would rather eat and she wanted the katsu. so of course I ate the shoyu chicken. bento came w/ 2 chicken thighs. kinda tough... didn't really taste like shoyu chicken... chicken kinda bloody . okay rice portion. kimchi kinda too sweet for my taste. I ate the whole bento anyway.

when she came to the office... we went back to Umami Cafe to see if she wanted something else. she was fine w/ the katsu don. since it was her birthday a few solar days ago I bought couple slices of red velvet cake. I also bought her Thai iced tea. she seemed to like it.

the red velvet cake was so so. so used to eating red velvet cupcakes that the cake's frosting didn't seem rich in comparison. cake also not as moist as a cupcake.

Althea plans to come to the office for lunch tomorrow. think we may go to Umami again. I'll just go down the menu and try something else. perhaps I'll eat the katsu don.

friend Aria called... wanted to get her exercise on. told her that I already went in the morning. she said that she would pick me up and so I went again. she kicks ass. she knows about my Battle of the Bulge... about counting and earning dranks... about not buying dranks to store in my car cooler during Lent. what did she do? she bought me a huge drank from McDonald's.

after we got our swam on... chillaxed, relaxed, and talked story on Magic Island wall facing Aloha Tower. sun already set. thought I saw spout. then nothing for a while. then we saw huge spout. huge humpback in area. then nothing for a while. noticed huge brown tourist vessel drifting. noticed camera flashes going off. finally... after some time... spout and whale surface sighting.

brown vessel still drifting. camera flashes still going off. whale may have been behind vessel for we saw nothing. huge white vessel returning to port. white vessel drifting as well. camera flashes going off too. yet saw nothing. at least we got to see 1 surface sighting.

post label includes 'Spring Begins' since that's what's on my 1st Hawaiian Bank calendar. thought about putting 'Equinox' in the title... but I need to be consistent w/ the calendar.

speaking of whales... none seen. went to Waikiki side. chillaxed for bit. nothing there too.

current song: C'mon by Tiesto vs Diplo

NCAA championships basically a Pac-10 meet. 4 out of the top 5 schools from the conference. all 4 also AAU members. frellin' awesome. Cal won its 2nd national title. USC #3, Pac-10 conference champion Stanford #4, and Arizona #5.

out of 21 events... the Pac-10 won 8. since I have the estate to myself... stayed in. bored... wondered if this were the Olympics... how much medals the Pac-10 would have won? looking up final results... Pac-10 would have won 30 medals... 8 golds, 8 silver, and 14 bronze... by far the most of any conference.

NCAA championship inspired me to actually swim again. since the holidays... for the past few months... I've been using my TYR kickboard. I've actualy started to get my swam on. I remember last season... or perhaps the season before... the Pac-10 and NCAA championships inspired me to swim 1.50 miles. men's swimming and diving championships this week. perhaps I'll be inspired to swim that distance again.

w/ Cal's aquatic title... the Pac-10 has won 3 NCAA championships this academic season. so far 2 for 2 in the aquatic events.

universe entranced
an Admiral solar day
bathe, dance in my light

positive morning. as I drove to Ala Moana Beach... saw New Hope saints (they call themselves that) doing community service... cleaning up Farrington High School. may go to service later on... take notes on verse... interpret them via Ancient Alien theory.

got my ran on 1st. exercise for the solar day will be posted later. decided to run 1st and beat the solar heat. speaking of heat... hoped to witness humpback heat run. ran towards wall facing Aloha Tower. lots of vessels out and about. noticed 2 tourists subs each being pulled by tug boats. saw couple commercial ships making its way to port. watched for 6 minutes. nothing.

as I ran towards Waikiki side... noticed Christians being baptized. good for them... starting new life. watched out for whales another 6 minutes. nothing. saw couple rainbows.

continued my run. decided to run Cylon direction... change things up. noticed non-lean in Nazi colored clothes running. good for him. fight the diabetes bro.

then it started to rain. good luck. I will win the Mega Millions. I will shower myself in currency.

got my swam on. inspired to swim rather than kick. Pac-10 women's teams kickin' ass at NCAA swimming & diving championships. as of this post... Cal in 1st, followed by Georgia. 3 other Pac-10 schools round out the top 5.

anyway... since didn't see any humpbacks... hoped to at least see a honu. nope. when I finished my swam and headed to showers... noticed non-lean Nazi colored clothed diabetes fighter finishing up his run. good for him.

on drive back to the establishment... State of Trance 500 on air. awesome. New Hope saints still cleanin' up school.

finally got to Magic Island parking lot. trailers parked in 1st 3 rows. no celeb sighting.

waiting for Simon Cowell's X Factor to premiere in US. never planned on watching American Idol this season... but while channel surfing... caught last few minutes showing numbers to call for contestants.

I only liked Casey Abrams. I hope he wins. why? he's the only one who didn't perform a ballad while everyone else did. all the other contestants think they can sing... when they really suck ass. they all sound generic... they all sing over the top... they all lack blue-eyed soul.

1st humpback sighting in 6 solar days. friend Aria and I talked story and relaxed along Magic Island wall facing Aloha Tower. sun already set... little light out.

drifting vessel and buoy our marks. we each saw spouts in different areas in relation to vessel and buoy. 2 whales in area. saw them surface couple times. few spouts.

since we're wanna be marine biologists... paid attention to camera flashes from drifting tourist vessel. sure enough... spouts.

now gotta look forward to my St. Patrick's humpback sighting.

talked story w/ Begone yesterday. talked about how no dead animals found in aftermath of Indonesian tsunami. she mentioned that perhaps animals could sense vibrations w/ feet... so they ran for the hills. got me thinkin'. if we didn't have footwear... would humans have more sensitive feet? would we too be able to detect vibrations?

Japan post-earthquake
destruction... and destruction...
and more destruction...

went to Ala Moana beach yesterday afternoon. as I drove through park behind very slow driver... looked at Pacific. seriously low tide, water looked calm and extremely clean... perhaps from tsunami effects.

after an hour following the slow driver... finally made it to the parking lot. that's when I noticed lots of peacekeeper vessels. must have gone out to sea to ride out the waves. awesome fleet of ships. several destroyers returning to port.

kicked for 15 minutes. water seriously calm and clean. awesome. I should have chilled and just watch peacekeeper vessels pass by.

anyway... got my walk on. went to wall facing Aloha Tower. no humpback activity. lots of vessels drifting... but no whales. walked to Waikiki side. several more vessels drifting... but no whales. went back to wall facing Aloha Tower. no whales... but I did see a huge fish jump out of the water. fish looked like propeller. also kept looking towards drifting vessels near Waikiki. splashing near 1 tourist boat. couple huge splashes. no spout seen. as I walked back to parking lot... thought perhaps splashes from tourists jumping off boat. then again... as I write this... why would they want to swim out there? what the frell were those 2 huge splashes?

plan to go to beach in a few minutes. 3 afternoons whale hunting and no activity.

no Ash Wednesday humpback. disappointed.

ran to wall facing Aloha Tower. hunted for 3 minutes. if I had seen any activity... I would have chillaxed for another 3 minutes.

ran to Waikiki side. spotted rare sight... Catholic w/ cross on forehead. hunted for another 3 minutes. again... if I had seen any activity... I would have chillaxed for another 3 minutes.

completed run. like the other afternoon... still early. decided to earn another drank. no activity.

I should say no definite activity. I may have seen a breach. near jungle gym / exercise bars... I thought I saw several huge splashes. thought about running towards wall facing Aloha Tower... get closer look... but too beat.

while relaxing in parking lot... kept eyes out towards horizon. nothing.

under 28 minutes for -athlon running path. misleading. run not constant.

whale watched for 8 minutes along wall facing Aloha Tower. spotted 1 whale spout 2x and surface once near a drifting vessel.

ran to Waikiki side. immediately spotted 3 simultaneous spouts. coolness. 3 whales in area. watched them for 8 minutes. judging from positions of drifting vessels... perhaps whale I saw sitting on wall probably one of these 3 beasts. appeared to be 2 whales in pursuit of another. multiple spouts and surface sightings.

completed -athlon path. decided to earn another drank. ran for 14+ minutes. as I walked along wall... nothing. ran towards Waikiki side. whale hunted for 4 minutes. nothing.

relaxed in parking lot. spotted vessels drifting. too far to see any spouts or surface sightings. hoped to see breach. nothing.

so far this month... went to beach 4x... whale activity 3x. not bad.

hope to see an Ash Wednesday humpback heat run or breach.

current song: When Love Takes Over by David Guetta

single released in 2009. UK #1 2 cycles ago... My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson.

terrible whale hunting conditions. gray skies... windy... Pacific choppy. surprised canary Cylon hardcore triathletes not seen at beach gettin' their exercise on. then again... since they determine whether I go into Pacific or not... perhaps my canaries knew of a brown water advisory. beach totally empty. if I braved the Pacific... I would have had her all to myself.

friend and I decided to walk 1 lap around Magic Island. along wall facing Aloha Tower... waves played tricks on us. nothing. walked towards Waikiki. nothing.

as we headed back to parking lot... thought we saw honu surface for air. nope. just debris floating around.

hopefully if I go to beach on Sunday... will see horny humpback heat run.

so far... went to Ala Moana Beach 2x this month. whale activity on those afternoons.

as I wrote in previous post... difficult to get into running rhythm when I want to whale hunt. as I walked along wall facing Aloha Tower... spotted 2 simultaneous spouts. for 7 minutes... watched multiple spouts and surface sightings.

ran towards Waikiki side. spotted 3rd whale. for another 7 minutes... watched whale spout 2x... surface 2x.

after completed run... friend Aria called... wanted to go walking and whale hunting. talked story on wall facing Aloha Tower. nothing. walked towards Waikiki. talked story. nothing.

plan to go to beach again this Sunday. hopefully will get to see whale breach. better yet... a horny humpback heat run.

$3.559 per gallon for unleaded gas at Costco.

unearned dranks outta control. plan of attack for March... stop buying frelling dranks. I do so much frellin' -athlons... so much cardio... yet unearned dranks keep going up and up and up... similar to federal deficit.

republicans have the right idea... cut spending. democrats want to freeze spending levels. gimme a break. don't know exact numbers... but if from 2008... federal spending increased by $1 trillion each fiscal cycle until 2010... which means a total $2 trillion increase... a freeze in federal spending won't make sense becuase it increased by $2 trillion. has revenue increased to match increase in spending? frell no.

so... like the GOP plan of attack to cut spending... I will stop buying dranks. there's only so much -athlons and cardio I can do to earn these dranks.

got my ran on. as I approached the wall facing Aloha Tower... immediately saw spouts. coolness. walked towards end of wall. couple parasailers in area. surprised to see whales across Aloha Tower. watched for 8 minutes. multiple spouts and surface sightings.

continued my ran towards Waikiki. thought I saw steamship. had to look again. huge spouts from at least 3 whales. frellin' heat run. awesome. simultaneous violent spouts... simultaneous surface sightings. frellin' awesome.

Korean couple approached me. told them lookin' at whales. they ooohed and aaahed. awesome sight to see. 4 tourist vessels approached horny humpbacks. thought would witness breach. nope. more multiple violent spouts and surface sightings. because in middle of my run... only watched for 8 minutes.

after I ran my -athlon path... decided to run another 14+ minutes to earn another drank. 2nd time along wall facing Aloha Tower... nuthin'. 2nd time near Waikiki side... nuthin'.

overall... positive end to February. 1 honu sighting... and at least 5 humpback sightings. plan to go whale hunting again tomorrow.

rather than run my -athlon path... took walk around Magic Island. walked 3.10+ miles. drank earned.

1st lap... as I approached wall facing Aloha Tower... spotted at least 3 whales. 2 simultaneous spouts while a 3rd surfaced. relaxed. multiple spouts and surface sightings.

2nd lap... wall facing Aloha Tower crowded... continued to walk towards Waikiki side. good move. huge breach. huge splash. awesome. looked like 2 whales in area. each in different spots. multiple spouts and surface sightings.

final lap... gettin' late. wall facing Aloha Tower still crowded... w/ people trying to look at not so spectacular sunset. on Waikiki side... the 2 lone whales still in area. saw 1 whale surface 2x... saw 2nd whale spout.

aerial shots of snaking freeways = amazing. panoramic shot of city w/ Diamond Head in background = amazing. frell... my home state = amazing.

guest appearances by Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo. Minnillo looks like a regular local girl. same w/ Grace Park. thought she to be an uber-hottie on BSG... but she too looks like a regular local girl.

obese local dude... who appeared in other eps... makes an appearance. thank you producers for not making him wear purple. he would have looked like Grimace.

more amazing shots of my home state. Waikiki, Kalihi, Mililani = amazing. love urban sprawl.

liked pawn shop scene. McGarrett and Danno want to talk to business owner. he's like: I'm not opening this door... it's built to w/stand a 300 lbs Samoan meth addict. McGarrett then blows open door w/ grenade.

organic baby food commercial irked me. I still don't understand the liberal concept of organic food. how is it organic? if organic food grown in liberal California... it has to be processed, packaged, and shipped to various parts of the country. all energy consuming. then you have all these liberal environmentalists who drive their hybrid vehicles and go out of their way to purchase organic food. all energy consuming. gimme a frellin' break.

anyway... predictable story. Lachey and Minnillo the bad guys in this ep. figured that out as soon as Minnillo the only person to survive pirate attack. who cares though? home state looks awesome on TV.

completed my ran. wanted to earn another drank... so I ran another 14+ minutes. as I made my way to the wall for the 2nd time... old woman still at end of wall. talked story w/ her for couple minutes. I asked her if she saw any activity since I left. nope.

will exercise my way to Berlin in a few solar days. once there... Spartakiad 10 - Athens... will begin in earnest.

googled distance from Berlin to Athens. 1st 9 links provided either flight or driving distance. average distance from Berlin to Athens = 1,222 miles.

based on current Spartakiad 9 (Berlin) numbers... I exercise traveled via biking, rowing, running, swimming, volleyball, and walking... an average of 9.58 miles per solar day. so... I give myself 127 solar days to reach Athens. start date to begin the solar day after I reach Berlin.

still need to put on pounds to reach my ideal weight. -athlons scaled down to gain weight. still will do pull ups... or at least attempt to do them... an average of 10 per solar day.

for Spartakiad 9... only realized sprint biathlon goal. failed all others. I blame the holidays.

yesterday... still early in the solar day... decided to go humpback whale hunting. at Ala Moana beach... walk starting point = lifeguard station 1E. as I looked out to vast Pacific Ocean... noticed 4 vessels drifting. then surface sighting. bug eyed. then 2nd surface sighting. humpback must be huge for me to have seen it far away.

walked very fast to wall. relaxed at end of wall, which I had all to myself. kept eyes focused on the 4 drifting vessels. nothing. humpback tease. no more spouts or surface sightings.

current song: C'mon by Tiesto Vs Diplo / Busta Rhymes

yesterday afternoon... planned on meetin' friends for dranks. as soon as I left my work building's parking structure... saw rain drops on windshield. drove straight to beach. by the time I reached parking lot... torrential rain. canary Cylon triathletes not there. thought: brown water advisory? nah... downpour just started. by the time I finished changing... rain stopped. Pacific Ocean calm and void of people. had ocean to myself. kicked in shallows.

since beach empty... assumed paths empty too. frell the dranks. decided to go whale hunting.

as I walked towards wall... vessel drifting... huge spout... then surface sighting. looked like 2 whales in area. Sam... as in Samaritan... I am. pointed out to older lady where to look for whales. whales cooperated... multiple spouts and surface sightings. awesome.

relaxed at end of wall, which I had all to myself. more spouts and surface sightings. awesome.

kept eyes focused on ocean vessels. none drifting. all vessels on the move ... hunting elusive whales. no horny humpback activity this afternoon. disappointing. sunset disappointing as well. clouds above horizon. no green flash.

just remembered... friend and I did see marine life. before kickboarding... hundreds of fish seen jumping out of water towards shore. pretty cool. we looked out for bigger fish chasing smaller fish into shallows. saw couple big fish jump out of water.

too bad witness in custody not seen torching bad asses via lighter and aerosol can. witness' blond lawyer = hottie.

okay ep. nice seeing different side of island... mountains instead of oceans.

congrats to Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers.

totally beat by time game started. watched Green Bay jump to 14-3 lead. closed my eyes during commercial break and passed out. speaking of commercials... favorite commercial = The Force by Volkswagen.

nap must have been short. Green Bay ahead 21-3... Pittsburgh driving towards end zone... scored TD towards end of half. Green Bay still leading 21-10.

half time show = okay. Black Eyed Peas sound shitty live.

disastrous 3rd quarter for Green Bay. Packers basically had several possessions where team went 3 and out. at least still lead 21-17.

friend called and asked if wanted to go to beach. on way there... listened to 4th quarter on radio. Green Bay victory. awesome. beach awesome as well. totally empty.
