Various and Sundry and Hawaii

I don't know why, but I woke up this morning unhappy with my surroundings. Its unusual, because I've been so happy that its fall and its cool out. Sort of funny thing; a couple customers came in the other day and asked if I could get them some hotel rooms. I said I would call around but just so they knew, it might take a few minutes because everything was booked up for reasons beyond me. One of them said "Oh, I bet alot of people are up to see the New England foliage" and they laughed when I said I hadn't even thought of that. "So used to it you don't even notice." Sort of, I guess. I appreciate it but my mind doesn't jump to that people are travelling here to see it.

Anyways, I was ardently wishing for Hawaii. Of all places. I don't even like summer that much, but when I saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" a few months back, I totally needed to visit Hawaii. Now that I'm saving more money maybe I'll take a trip there for a Qi Gong Grandmaster Liu thing next summer or something. He has a few spots in Hawaii and if I made it a week long thing I could do his courses and just bum around and enjoy myself. That would rock, I would love to go there.

::Update:: Salty and I just vowed to save a couple thou and go next summer. Woot. Who's in??

So I'm watching the debate, of course, and I really need to take a piss, but apparently there are no commercials during this thing. Goddamnit. Yes, that's where I was going with that sentence and I'm sorry. When I watched the VP debate with Al and Salty we started drinking whenever Palin said "maverick". If I were drinking this time I would drink everytime McCain either said "angry" or winked. That's all I have to say about that right now as I'm watching this second.

I'd like to document here, just for myself that gas costs $2.89 a gallon in the cheapest spots and $3.19 in a few others, but the majority seem to have come down to $2.99 or $3.09. Just two or three months ago we were at $3.99 or over. Unfortunately, the stock market still sucks but if I ever want to look back at that I can just search the web for this month and go "holy shit, that sucked!"....you know, hopefully. Hopefully it only gets better.

Anyways, this was a little random and pointless. Oh well.
