tired

My body doesn’t know what’s going on.� After 4 hours of sleep, I stayed awake for 20.� Then I went to�bed at 6:30pm (HI time).� I woke up every 15 or 20 minutes after 2:00am (which is my normal wake-up time of 7:00am, IN time) until I finally got up at 6:00am (HI time).� I’ve made it ’til 9:00pm tonight, but I’m fading fast.�

I’ve been trying to get in a last hour of work today, but work right now is�some graphic manipulation, trying to squeeze an image and find an extra 24 pixel rows – then trying to use that image as the base of a 20-image series.� It’s just too detailed for me to really focus on right now.� So I’m posting a funny video.

We ate at the Hickam AFB officers’ club tonight – at a mongolian barbeque.� It’s a building with only 2 walls, opening out over Pearl Harbor.� While we ate, submarines and motor boats floated by.� I got some fun pictures of my family, but can’t put them online or they’d cry…� my favorite is one of my dad’s face right after a baby puked all over the table in front of him and in his coffee.� =)� Use your imagination.

Leah and I asked Kelly (mom’s friend) to take a picture of us goofing off.� I handed the camera to her in video mode instead of picture mode.� =)� Here’s us posing for her, then waiting, then posing for a second shot just in case the second didn’t come out (pushing the capture button started then stopped the movie):
