So it's been pretty messy for my car, few more paint chips here and there, etc.  I decided to give it a nice quick waxing before my work call out to Laie a few days ago.  Well alls done, I drive home and get some quick fast food take out for lunch.  I put my things on the ground retrieve something from my trunk.  Well, there's waxing and then there's good waxing... Unfortunately I had good waxing... As i'm pilling my things together I put my iced tea on the trunk.  The trunk is so slick that the entire drink slides RIGHT off and splat onto the ground near me.... Sigh.  Sometimes good wax is not a good thing.

In response to a friends Facebook comment about having to work on servers through x-mas.

Vraxx: And the cat-5 was hung by the punch block with care, with hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. And I in my jacket, the AC set high, pondered I'm at work now... oh god, why oh why...

Vraxxism for the Day:  It's hard to be Thug-Life in a powder blue Yaris Coupe...

Since I intend to beat Zarli to posting this.  There are certain things you just go "Things were better in the olden days"
This is one such time.

This is a tad embarrassing but, I realized my asian-americaness (is that even a word?) while walking through the mall.  I saw some colored drawings done by kids.  There were several with Triangular shapes and they were all multicolored.  First thing I thought, "Oh hey multicolored Rice Balls".  Ten minutes later when I get to my car I make the connection "Those were candy corns >_>"

Guys can be empathetic, just not the way most folks would think.  Here was a little blurb from Tuesday.

Zarli: i did have a nightmare the other night....
          that i could not find my car....

Vraxx: i've had those
            i also had a weird one where tony stark stole my car...

Zarli: the nightmare part... i owned a Prius .(

Vraxx: cause his R8 had a flat
           Oh dude are you ok?!

There's just certain things that should never be developed.  I for one found this just a tad creepy... See that Tenchi avatar.. that was the look on my face when I saw this come across my RSS feed.  Just a little too weird.

So... the meme thing... I know very little about it.  Sorry if you guys get recycled in this list

( Since I have so few LJ Friends... )
Uh... I realize I have a crazy short friend list...

Got to spend part of my afternoon with friends attending the Okinawan Festival at Kapiolani Park.  Thankfully the weather was good for the most part and it was very lively.  Kids in Yukatas? Yeah it's a little hard to resist snapping footage away at them.  So innocent, too darn cute for their own good sometimes.  Food was pretty good though I admit we arrived a tad late and some items were sold out.  Not to worry though, there was plenty of andaggi to be had.

I think shooting this type of event reminded me of what I enjoyed about journalistic photography.  The motion, the unpredictability of it all.  Hopefully I can find a good balance between studio styled and free shooting.  Did realize I need to get in better conditioning.  I was sweaty as hell >_> and my left ankle took a beating.  Time for the gym!

EDIT:  Thanks for noting the typo ryusen
