80's Music Videos... →
All the 80’s Music Videos you’ve ever wanted to see. Fun for hours.
Happy Financial Crisis Day. Ugh.
Just to make things worse, I decided to check in on my 401(k) and ROTH IRA. Yeah, fun. I don’t recommend anyone do this today. Straight depressing. Here is a snapshot of what I’m seeing. Check out my fabulous rate of return: -16.16%! Yes, that’s right NEGATIVE 16%. I would seriously be better with my retirement money under my mattress.
“I think about calling you or hanging out, but then I think I would just rather...”
– Diggy, in an email to a rando boy who she didn’t want to date anymore.
O Hai Kitty...
Your Preppy Name Is… Parke Cannon Brighton the Fourth, but most people know you as Kitty. What’s Your Preppy Name?
I saw this little quiz on Lyndsy’s blog, I am such a sucker for quizzes like this I had to do it! And, btw, you can call me Kitty from now on. I won’t hate it…at all.
I wish...
That instead of studying tonight, I was going to the Neil Diamond concert with Courtney. So jealous!
Sad or Awesome?
Studying on the beach… sad or awesome? I vote sad. Very sad.
Because of poor planning and unfortunate timing, I am having to study while on my weekend solocation (read: alone vacation) in Hawaii. I planned this solocation a while back, and at the time didn’t plan on taking the GMAT next weekend. So, this weekend that was supposed to be filled with sun, beach and fun has been...
WatchBest. Wedding. Dance. Ever.
Yeah, I kinda want my first dance at my wedding to go something like this… :)
Today at Pearl Harbor...
Today John, Bryan and I went to Pearl Harbor to visit the museum and the USS Arizona Memorial (above). It was absolutely amazing. We all did the audio tour (if there is ever an option for an audio tour for any museum, I always do it) and they also show you a movie before taking you to the USS Arizona Memorial. After the movie, the three of us were silent. We honestly didn’t talk for maybe...
Shave Ice (and don't you dare add a 'd' at the end...
I really enjoy Shave Ice. And it so happens that Honolulu is home to the best shave ice in Hawaii, the country, the planet!
Yes, Waiola Shave Ice is another local spot my boss, John, loves and takes us to every year we’re here. You might recall back in April when Bill, Bryan and I were on a quest for shave ice on Kauai, well, Waiola Shave Ice is what we had in our minds (the junk that we had on...

Friend Quiz
New Jake & Amir video. And it’s kind of… AWESOME! I am so obsessed with these guys. I love the ‘flashback’ scenes and I love that, of course, I’ve seen all the older videos they pulled from.
Got Malasadas?
If you find yourself in Honolulu… go to this place. Honestly, don’t think about it - just go. You won’t regret it. My boss, John takes me here every year for Malasadas (kind of like beignets but softer and doughier). John used to live in Honolulu, so he knows all the great ‘local’ spots. We went this morning for a morning Malasada treat!
Just in case you...
Good Morning Waikiki!
The view from my walk this morning.
I used to be anti-Waikiki. I thought it was too touristy, too busy, too materialistic, blah, blah. This morning I realized just how much I like it. The beach is ridiculously pristine, especially for being alongside a large metropolis. There is a certain energy about this area too. At any hour, you can come down to the beach and there will be a handful of...
WatchWe hosted our seminar at the Grand Wailea today, and I quickly became obsessed with the pool here - it is RIDICULOUS!
The only time when going to Hawaii isn't a good...
Another great response to my intern/assistant listing that made me say “you’re hired!” in my head. His cover letter starts: “As a former member of the University of Washington Football team…” Well, hello Mr. New Intern Beefcake.
Follow the Musical Spacemen...
Just in case you’re interested in following the journey of five musical spacemen exploring the galaxy of the United States (and why wouldn’t you be?!)… you have found your guys: http://www.spaceshipexcellent.com/. The episode from Burning Man is hi-larious!
I got the chance to see them last month at their show at the High Dive, and of course instantly fell in love with the...
