Sick..

I am sick of taking antibiotics. My tongue is tasting weird, I feel kinda nauseous and it's just.. bleh. At least it's not swine flu
It's beautiful and windy now but it's been real hot all day. Yesterday we had a huge thunderstorm and rain after one of our hottest days this summer. The thunder and lightning crashed down heavily with the rain- and it was a huge welcome. I wanted to lie out on the beach and get rained on.
I've been thinking about harvesting ohas all day...

On a side note, the huge trees out in our front yard are growing back some leaves now. They've got all these beautiful green leaves sprouting out of their branches. It's really refreshing to look at them.

American Idol- Kris

Congratulations! That seemed to be a pretty long season aye?
I'm sick. I've been sick for the past three days, I've had a high fever, cough, and a little mucus. I went to the doctor yesterday to make sure it's not swine flu- she said it's just an upper respiratory track infection, so all seems to be well. I'm feeling a lot better today with all the different drugs (legal of course) I'm taking. Paracetamol rocks! I'm going to go swimming tomorrow for sure. The ocean has been so calm and has been calling all day but I never got to go, and I'm still feeling a bit weak. I'm looking forward to getting well tho. It should be good.

Anyway.. that's about it for today. I'm going to sleep now.



You tell me if you don't find these to be cool..

Pet Heroes

If this story won't melt your heart, I don't know what will:

Amazing Hero Dogs -- More Than Just Pets
Move over Lassie -- there's a whole new pack of hero dogs and they aren't just waiting for Timmy to fall down a well.

A new video that shows a German shepherd trying valiantly -- and successfully -- to keep authorities from its injured friend on one of the busiest highways in New York City is just the latest example of dogs who go above and beyond to protect their loved ones.

"It's possible ... there was a social bond," said Dr. E'Lise Christensen, a veterinarian and board certified animal behaviorist.

The apparent German shepherd mix in New York City kept officials at bay on the Major Deegan Expressway by running frantic circles around the injured dog, which lay motionless and bleeding in the middle of the road. If officers tried to approach the injured animal, the shepherd would lunge, warning them to stay away.

Christensen, who works for Manhattan-based New York City Veterinary Specialists, said after watching video of the dogs, the shepherd's protection of his injured companion was "really serious."

"All we know is he's using these barking and lunging behaviors to get people to go away," she said.

In the end, officers were able to grab the injured dog which was treated by veterinarians. ABC's New York affiliate WABC reported that both dogs, which live together in the Bronx, were claimed by their owner and that the shepherd is the injured dog's offspring.

The video bore similarities to another canine highway hero from Chile. In December, cameras captured a dog's bold move to drag another dog to the side of the road after it had been struck on a busy highway.
The video shows the heroic dog dodging fast-moving traffic to reach its friend and then back again, this time dragging the dead pooch.

Dogs aren't always loyal only to their own kind.

Last summer, a mixed breed dog named China was hailed as a life saver in Argentina when she saved a newborn child from what doctors said would have been certain death.

China found the infant in a field where it had been abandoned by its 14-year-old mother. China, according to local reports, brought the baby back to her litter of six puppies and kept it warm until her owner found the expanded family and called authorities.

Harvesting the Ohas

Such a belated update! Karma Kula chapter 3, "Harvesting the Ohas" is out! I love it. It's so different from what I expected. Pretty creepy actually.

Awesome stuff. I can't believe Rena Owens is it in!

I'm back home again. I've been traveling a lot so I haven't been online that much.

Rain, rain rain..

It's been raining all night and all morning so far. We have a storm coming our way again. The ocean is raging, but I'm happy to hear the sound of the crashing waves. It's been rather cold so I've been lazy to go out for a swim. The surfer kids I usually swim with aren't around either, so it's kinda sad to go out swimming.

Now's not the time to get sick, that's for sure. There's H1N1 almost everywhere, including here. I found it rather amusing that almost everyone at the airport wears masks now, whereas before when my friends would fly wearing masks, everyone would snicker at them or give them really dirty looks.

I'm just watching the Ninjai Chapters while I'm waiting for Karma Kula's 3rd chapter. One more day! :)

Sue Son, Got talent? YES!

I play the violin, and so .. well, I was pretty stoked to see Sue Son's rendition of one of the pieces from Red Violin: Awesome! I hope she gets much further too.

Anyhow, not much else happening for me. My internet has been quite slow all day which is rather irritating. It is better now though.

Hey.. just um.. 5 more days? 4 more days to the next Karma Kula Chapter!

And of course, don't forget to watch your daily Ninjai chapter.

KO

I watched boxing with my brother today, Pacquiao and Hatton. I'm a fan of them both, and while I was pretty thrilled with Pacquiao's win, I also feel sorry for Hatton. He's a pretty decent guy and what's great is he's not exactly one of those over-your-head arrogant athletes. The best will win though!

Hey, just a 5 more days til Karma Kula comes chapter 3 comes out! woohoo!
