Hawaii update

Since I last wrote, I've...

— Gotten mildly drunk and sobered up about half a dozen times

— Checked out my cousin's watering hole and met all his Navy buds

— Went out with them to celebrate one of their friend's 21st birthday

— Been to The Club

— Had the hottest stripper in the place flirt with me, although at the time I thought she was just trying to make some money off me; not necessarily so, says my cousin's roommate's live-in girlfriend, who used to wait tables at these establishments. (Too bad we didn't hang out there very long before heading downtown...)

— Paid $6 for a Miller Lite at some lame club in downtown Honolulu. ($10 cover, about five people and no drinks allowed on their six-foot dance floor, weak atmosphere, etc.)

— Met some cute Australian chicks, who will (fingers crossed) be hanging out with us at our beach bonfire tomorrow

— Went to two downtown Denny's in one night, after one of the guys in our group got kicked out of the first — an encounter which almost got him arrested because he started screaming at the owner and calling him a "foreign fuck." His dumb ass was real, real drunk. I hope it didn't scare off the Aussies.

— Watched the sun rise from the window of a cab

— Realized I left my USB cable for my Optio on the plane (fucking doh!), so no pictures can be uploaded until I get back and borrow Grady's

— Checked out the Navy Exchange, which is a giant mall/grocery store for Navy folks only. I bought some wicked sunglasses. $8-dollar specials, baby. Hott.

— Called Nicole, who's in Hawaii with her family right now, and chatted amicably with her. Too bad she's on Maui and I'm on Oahu, and the only way to get between the two is by plane. She did indicate that we should get together in Austin sometime. It may be time to dig out the hoody.

— Had a going-away barbecue for one of Mike's roommates, at which about eight people showed up. The guy's a nice dude, just a little strange. I wouldn't want to hang out with him for extended periods of time, but I still felt bad for him.

— Watched "Club Dred," that movie by the "Super Troopers" guys. It's not very good, but there are some excellent boobies in it — and the blue feather has a cameo!

— Played a marathon game of presidents and assholes

— My cousin also showed me his awesome, two-story backyard, complete with a scenic overlook under a tree-laden flower that could be about the most romantic spot ever, were one able to get a lady up there.

— Watched SportsCenter while blogging, and now that that's over, there's no reason to waste time in paradise on the computer.

G'night, y'all.
