Today, I went to the Hawaii Convention Center to photograph Oceanit demonstrating it's FLASH (sniper detection) system to military leaders. Later, I dropped off my rented lens at Hawaii Photo Rental before going with Ricky for coffee and dessert at JJ's French Pastry.
Today, I did some administrative work in the home office before going to meet with Sunday's wedding clients to look over the venue. Later, I met up with David at the Ward Starbucks to pick up some vintage Canon rangefinders from him.
Today, I slept in very late, but I woke up around the time he woke up in Afghanistan so we got to spend an hour lying in bed having a great Skype conversation before he had to go to work. Later, I made myself ozoni, the Japanese New Year's soup, using Champuru's recipe as a guideline.
Today, I woke up early and spent the whole day working. Later, I took a nap during the evening, then woke up again to get back to work. I made myself true moffles (mochi waffles) with strawberry topping since my strawberries were getting old.
Today, I woke up early for the new washer and dryer to get dropped off. Later, I finally got my new soup pot and made a batch of "Eff The Vog" soup, which includes chicken, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, fire roasted tomatoes, kidney beans, bok choy, zucchini, garlic, whole wheat pasta, jalepeno, cayenne pepper, mustard, lemon juice, and a chunk of parmigiano reggiano for flavor. It's nice and hearty, as well as sinus-clearing!
Today, I did the usual, such as walk Koda and play Halo after getting a ton of photo editing done. Later, I went to town to pick up my processed film, which was very exciting, though costly ($60!). Tonight's dinner was stir-fried orange-ginger beef and snow peas over brown jasmine rice, with a side of spinach salad. Koda wouldn't leave me alone while I was eating, so she got a few pieces of beef, and seemed to approve.
Today, I woke up late because I'd felt like I was catching a cold last night, and then spent the day catching up on work stuff. Later, I went to Pearlridge with Kaeo, Marie, and Reid, where we went shopping and had dinner at Chili's.
Today, I woke up late, then went kitchen-supply shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond, before going grocery shopping at the commissary. Later, I came home to take Koda on her walk before heading to Whole Foods and Kokua Market for some specialty groceries for dinner tonight. I made orange-glazed salmon with a mango salsa, and a Forbidden Rice salad, in enough quantities to last me through the busy weekend.
Today, my mom and I went to Kaimuki and had coffee and sandwiches at Coffee Talk. Later, we came home, and after my mom finished our bookshelves, we finally started unpacking some of the many boxes in my house.
Today, I slept in late, only getting up about an hour before he was supposed to get off, so I went out to get coffee and food. Later, I experimented with an idea I'd had for a little while, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted.
