the big payback

my dreams of seeing the godfather of soul on NY's eve were dashed today when i heard that the legend had passed on.....rip James Brown.

song for today: night train - JB

mood: disappointed. death sucks.

Not Maui or Wowie (pt.1)

I actually slept both flights to Kauai with no anxiety and arrived only somewhat stinky but was ready to hit the first bar, since it was nearly happy hour (and I started on the plane)! So the crew picked me up at the airport and we headed to Poipu. Marilyn (no nickname for that one) and I went to a groovy place

After one drink, we picked up the other fagbags and headed to the "condo" in Princeville which seemed like forever away but was probably only about an hour. After we cleaned up a bit we had a photo session

and went to Tahiti Nui in Hanalei.

While we were on our second drink, a local drunk, Jerry began to make small talk with KC. He was harmless enough. KC left for a pee and Jerry was hanging around Marilyn. THEN the the freaking bitch starts telling him to walk away and leave her alone etc. Ummm, he was barely talking to her! So....from what i remember KC comes back and Marilyn tells her to get the guy away from her. KC doesn't really see the problem either and is trying to figure it out but all Bitch can do is keep bitching! SOOOO...I throw some salt on the two of them hoping to break it up and give her something else to think about but that doesn't happen. She gets rowdy with me and then her and Huggies leave. Now KC is missing and I don't give a flying fug. So I continue to drink and enjoy the atmosphere. A while later I cannot find KC, she's freaking missing. I don't have a phone or her # so I ask for the phone to call a cab. The bartender laughs at me. "We don't have that here". Huh??? No cabs? Nope, only to go to the airport. OMG! So I wander around outside searching for KC, nowhere to be found. Could this get worse? Did i mention its my FIRST night?
So some local hears of the dilemma and lets me use his phone to call Huggies. Huggies says she cannot come and get me and that KC is not there. BITCH has the car and is not coming to get us. So sitting outside smoking butts with this stranger, he spots KC on a picnic table in someones front lawn. Great!
She wanders over, sits and starts to vomit all over the place. She is crying, its a fucking mess. Did i mention its my FIRST night? :)
So...the guy says he'll give us a ride back but he wants to drink for a while more and he'll be out in an hour. Ugh. Huggies calls KC and says they'll come and get us. Bitch arrives and bitches the whole time back. I am ready to get a hotel at this point.

I guess she does have a nickname!

The greatest rock band in the world...

Before the big trip to Hawaii I was all freaked out about flying over water for five hours and the anxiety of all the school work that I had procrastinated in doing was building up so I cancelled my flight a week before.
THEN Huggies helped me down from the ledge and I booked ANOTHER flight, this time to Kauai and planned to spend the whole week there. I also made sure to book it a day late so I could go see my "secret" love slave, JB with Tenacious D at MSG. That turned out to be fun fun

but they actually weren't that great. Well the encore rocked but that was about it. After the show, the other JB and I went out for a drink after his friends split, we were silly and got stuck in the city until after 3am, ick!

The next 3am I was back on the train heading to Hawaii....

all alone. i hate to admit it but it was kind of spooky and scary...

A master?

Aha, I just hit send with my final research paper. Schools out!!! For summer? no, FOREVER!!! Let's hope that remedial bullshit paper was good enough to eke out a B. I guess now I wait for some paper to come in the mail that says I have a masters degree in library and information science, HAH! what a gas!

This (pending) librarian is getting ready to tie one on, no not a bun!
