I keep getting thwarted in my snorkling efforts. Yesterday, the weather was perfect, I didn't have anything else to do, and I was fully planning on snorkleing. Then, I heard there was a tsunami warning. It was April Fools Day, so I thought it could have been that, but no it was real. I did not expect a tsunami to actually arrive, but I figured that voluntarily going into the water was not only against the spirit of a tsunami warning, but probably not the smartest thing to do.

Opening Day today! I'll soon be able to listen to M's game via the internet at home. That'll be really nice. Of course here, soon is a very relative term. I could have internet on Friday or on some Friday in July, who knows.

Last week I emailed the postal service to inquire about my packages that I mailed to myself on February 7. I paid extra for tracking. My tracking number lists no update after checkin at the Castle Rock post office. So I got a call from the postmaster here in Pago. He told me that my packages are not here yet. No shit. I said I knew that, but I was just wondering about the tracking and had asked what the point was if they weren't going to update it. He again told me that my packages are not here. Yeah, I know. I explained that I was just kind of hoping for an update as to their progress and thought they might be in CA or HI or something. He told me that they wouldn't go through HI, but through CA but that if I was shipping them from New York it could take a long time. Neat. Then he said I would have an update on my packages when they get here becuase I'd have them. Thanks a lot; very helpful.

So yesterday, I went out to Moi's house to assist a (very) little with the installation of an air conditioning unit. His place is in a pretty nice location right by the water. There are lava tubes under the rock shore that connect to the ocean. You can jump in a hole and then swim out to the ocean. I took some pictures:








I watched The Wire last night on dvd until about 1130 and including the general fatigue that the weekend usually provides, I am super tired today. Thankfully, today is an easy day; and tomorrow looks easy too.

Movie Reviews:

Casino Royale: 6. Not bad; not spectacular. This is also the same rating and review I probably would give the Casino Royale hotel in Vegas.

Sex and Lucia: 7 This is not as good as City of God or Y tu Mama Tambien, but if you are looking for a movie that also gives you some reading practice, it is not bad.

Constantine: 5 This includes the best actor of all time Keanu Reeves. This movie is not boring, not terribly terribly stupid, and not really too cheesy, but it also isn't all that good it's just medium.

I think Florida is going to win tonight. I wish they could both lose.
