Nap Time!

A cat catches some zzzzz's beneath a car at the UH Manoa campus. Following this incident, many students have recently been spotted doing the same.

Here are a few images captured at Makapu'u Beach, right across from Sea Life Park.

(Little trivia: Sea Life Park is where Adam Sandler's character worked in the movie 50 First Dates, which was filmed on O'ahu.)

Plants on the roof

At a fast-food stop, right off of King Street, plants are set-up outside on the first floor roof.

Palm trees lined up along a street near Puck's Alley

Many "half palm trees" can be found in the area, but where the other halves have gone is a mystery to us all.

These are two pictures of a local mosaic image on one of the nearby buildings. I'm always amazed at how much detail there is, all from little tiles of different colors. So nice!

Kneeling Bus

I don't really understand the "Kneeling" sticker. Do YOU? It doesn't make sense. A bus can't kneel. Are the passengers suppose to kneel? NO! Why have it?? "The mysteries of life..."

Hawai'i's H-1 Interstate

One of the three total in the whole state!

Pearl Harbor

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to pay a visit to Pearl Harbor. Below are some pictures that were taken there. I went out to the memorial for the U.S.S. Arizona, where you are actually standing directly above the sunken ship.

(This picture was taken while on the memorial, so the actual sunken ship you're seeing was directly beneath. This ship began leaking oil into harbor when it first sank, and it still continues to leak oil to this day.)

Back on track, Picture of the Day is up and running once again :)

Here's a pic of one of my favorite beaches here. It's a man-made beach, but you would never know it. It's usually pretty quiet (compared to Waikiki), AND, it's right by the mall!

Two books for the new Meep Book Club

I think it's about time the Meeps start a book club. What better way to stay connected?? Here are two books that I think would be the perfect start to the new endeavor...

Because, we ALL need a Mary spirit!

(Euro-Spanish not included)

Squirrels. Gone. Wild.

Excellent.


Pal, did you submit a still from THE 1/2 girl, 1/2 squirrel masterpiece? One could only hope! :)

Cracked Dirt and Flowers/Poofy Things: On Campus

Just some cracked dirt on campus. I don't know why it's cracked, because it usually rains almost everyday here, even if it's just for a few minutes. It's that Hawaiian sun I tells ya!

Lotsa Pitchas

It's a picture medley... enjoy!!

Plumeria Flowers: On campus

Palm Trees: On campus

Bellevue Crazy Girl: Not on campus

So they sell these Halloween costumes at Spencers! Bellevue. BELLEVUE! Connected underground to Brookdale. They nationaly sell these. Ahh, the horror.

Mountain and Baseball Field

I'm not sure on the name of the park, but it is right along King Street near the campus. I love how the houses are all stacked along the mountain. You see that everywhere here.

Waikiki Beach & Palm Tree

One of my favorite pics of Waikiki.

Bird's Nest: On campus

Isn't this cute? Although, I really feel bad for the birds, especially the babies. Can you imagine how loud that must be?? I don't even know what they use these speakers for... but it must make the birds deaf!

Smile!!: On campus

So bright and sunny! That's what I saw when I first took this pic. Then I noticed the American flag. And then I noticed the swaskit behind the smiley face. Weird!

Red Leaf

I noticed this one red leaf amongst the many green ones, on this very large tree. How's that for being unique?

Self Portrait

Just kidding. Can you guess by the foreground where this is? Yes, in a bathroom stall, in the Art building. This is why I love Art/the department/the students: you never know what to expect, except that you're bound to see some creative and unique things around you. Like a pencil drawing of a woman with a mustache, in a bathroom stall.

Aloha, my name is... Hawai'i

This picture was taken on campus, and the sticker is on a light pole. Who knew they had other versions of these stickers? First the Entenmann's, now this. Hawai'i, you never seize to amaze me!

Sidewalk Art

So, here I was, just walking along Dole Street, heading back to the apartment. I've always noticed that there was writing in the pavement, outside of Johnson Hall, but I never really took the time to read what it said.

WELL, am I glad I did! I found out some very interesting things, and all I can say is that: Mom and Dad, I am very surprised by the two of you. VERY surprised!

And just who is Steph, dad??

Seriously mom, of all the people out there, you chose to be "friendly" with Gary?! Gary of Swim Tech? Gerard, I think that's why we both were hired to work for him...


Art it is :)
