Today's BIRTHDAY BOY!!!


JONATHAN RHYS MEYER
So doable. Those lips. Those cheekbones. 30 years old today. So beautiful, I had to post one more picture..



Movies - Sunshine. I want to see this one in a theatre. I love Alex Garland as a writer. I own The Tesseract, The Coma, The Beach and of course, have seen The Beach and 28 Days Later. According to IMDB.com, Alex is also going to be the writer for Halo (the movie).

William Gibson has a new book coming out. Spook Country will be released on August 7, 2007

Lindsay Lohan is a mess. I think she is the Robert Downey Jr. of the 2000's.

The couple who had the sextuplets and didn't practice selective culling is down to ONE surviving child and his status is iffy.

I read that the new Star Trek movie is going to have Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) as the young Spock and Leonard Nimoy as something or other but not Spock. Maybe Spock's dad? This is all coming out at the comic convention going on right now in San Diego as well as getting mentioned on CNN.com this a.m.




I'm on page 350 of the new and last Harry Potthead book and expect to finish it today or tomorrow at the latest.

I'm very very very glad my kids are home as I've really missed them.

Woo Hooo!!

My partner, Lisa and I WON the 3.0 doubles in the Broomfield tournament. We had to play 4 matches to win and all of them were 3 setters... I am taking a few days off from playing right now. I haven't won a tournament in ages... it was pretty exciting and close. Tough crowd too as our opponents were from the Broomfield club. They were nassssty and mean.

It's SO HOT. Thank goodness I have about 10 fans and can spread them around my house. I sat in the sun today with my mist sprinkler thing on my lounge chair and read and drank water with lemons. Decadent!

Erase


erase my love
i bet you can't erase my touch
you're tryin' to replace
a feelin' without a name
with somebody else's face
in your head

Teams (BOTH OF THEM) are undefeated!!!

WOW!

Both of the teams I captain are undefeated!! We are going to Districts and State. We were in second place in the USTA league but one of the girls on a team that beat us, who self-rated herself as a 3.0, has won a couple of tournament matches at 3.5 and even won a mixed doubles match at 4.5!!! So she got disqualified and all her matches don't count so we ended up beating her team (with her loss)3-2!

The adult league (USTA)playoffs are the first weekend in August which coincide with a birthday I don't want to celebrate but what a great way to celebrate!! The state tournament is the middle of the week the 14 -16th of August. Plus, we will still be having our daytime and fall leagues!! Woo-hoo.

Now we all just need to stay healthy and fit and well and practice!


WE ROCK!!!

Brief trip report - no pics


Let's see - best Lava Flow - Castaway Cafe (really good food as well and most excellent bloody mary).
Highlights - seeing octopus and it winking at me. Eels, turtles and way too many puffer fish. Body surfing at DT Fleming beach. Spa at Grand Wailea. Coconut ice cream from the farmer's market store near me. The Fish Market for the really cute nice very flirty guy who worked there and gave me a sample of freshly made ahi poke.
The fireman who guided the kayak trip with Maui eco-tours. The tattooed dude on Trilogy who told me about the Scythians and gave me some history on my tattoo. The water. Hearing the waves first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The Brazilian Cardinals that came to the lanai. The Maui Babe tanning lotion I used and how dark I am. Playing tennis at the Royal Lahina and at Kapalua.
The not so much highlights - the fire that closed the road and having to spend the night in a high school gym on a cot and made me not go down south anymore. Unable to see Big or Little Beach or go horseback riding or kaying down there due to fire. Coming back and finding out Kathi had been in the hospital a week in Germany. The constant parade of "happy loving couples" and "perfect families - mom, dad and the 2 plus kids. Other than that, it was all wonderful and a perfect, perfect vacation. I totally enjoyed doing whatever I wanted and being on my own.

Have to post a review on tripadvisor.com and figure out where to put my pics.

OH, those stupid cheap underwater cameras totally suck. I don't think I got more than one or two good pictures from them. The next time I'm going to buy a waterproof case for my good camera and take it.
