CBS Sunday Morning had a piece today about Magnum Photos. In case you didn't know, or had forgotten, back before I devoted my life to mixology, I studied photojournalism.
There have been a number of photographs that influenced me to take up that particular field of study. Stuart Franklin's photo of the student in Tiananmen Square in 1989 is an example.

Yes, I am well aware that we had a national referendum last week and its resultant implications. But however Iraq is a year from now or five years from now, I'll bet it won't have been worth 1,000+ lives of Americans and its allies and untold thousands of lives of Iraqis. Not to mention those injured and the lifetimes of sadness of the relatives of the victims.

Hawaii traditionally votes Democratic and its 4 electoral votes are usually not worth the trip for the Big Guns among the candidates.

Mr. Jack & Ginger P.I. was in the bar again last night. If he was on the job, he was a lot trickier this time, because I couldn't figure out who he was tailing. Maybe he just likes the bartender.

I really am just as tired of politics as everybody else. I get sucked in sometimes, but I'm making a pledge to avoid political debate for at least a month. Too much trouble.
Speaking of leaves, though, this is one of the times of year when I miss Chicago. Fall is great time of year and it doesn't feel the same in the tropics.

They arrive tomorrow.
My apartment is pretty small, but I don't think they'll mind, because hotels are expensive here. Joan let me borrow an air bed and some extra sheets for one friend and my sofa is pretty comfy for the other. I do have to work tonight but then I'm free until Tuesday. Did I mention I'm EXCITED?

K and I saw The Village Friday night, and I've been trying to decide what to say about it. I had very little information going into it. I read the synopsis on Fandango: "Set in Pennsylvania during 1897, the film revolves around a close-knit community that lives with the frightening knowledge that a mythical race of creatures resides in the woods around them." It listed the genre asKitzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10639162521549274283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203722.post-1091046210344085222004-07-28T10:22:00.000-10:002004-07-28T10:23:30.343-10:00

A KNOT IN MY STOMACH
Just home from work and I'm worried about my friend Joan. I haven't seen her for a few days and it has me concerned. Not that there's any reason she should keep me apprised of her schedule, but we usually wave and say hello nearly every day, and if she had planned to be away, I think she would have told me. Hope nothing is wrong.

EASY COME, EASY GO
I had a date with K yesterday. I keep dragging him along to do touristy things, most of which he enjoys, but yesterday we just went to a beach he likes that is semi-private and swam and were lazy. We packed along drinks and snacks.
I was going to break the news to K about my engagement to Orlando/Hugh, but then I remembered how awful I felt when a guy I had been dating Kitzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10639162521549274283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203722.post-1089754271616132912004-07-13T11:27:00.000-10:002004-07-13T11:31:11.616-10:00Orlando Bloom came into the bar last night and asked me to come to his room after I got off work.

No big news there, not even anything negative to report. Hurray! Not nearly as exciting as bruxism and breaking a tooth. I suspect there's not a single thing in my life worth reporting to the world at large. No celebrity sightings. Just an ordinary night at the bar.

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"

I have decided to suspend my blog. When I started, I expected to be able to report on all sorts of interesting anecdotes about Hawaii and bartending for tourists but I have found that anything blogworthy comes along all too infrequently.

1. The female always makes the rules.
2. The rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification.
3. No male can possibly know all the rules. Nearly all females are born with this knowledge.
4. If the female suspects the male knows all the rules, she may immediately change some or all of the rules.
