I figured out how to upload video to my computer! As a result, here's the video of my first performance in Honolulu:

Hi everyone --



I'm doing my first "scientific talking head" TV appearance! Well, that and I get to spin fire too (it all makes sense in the show.) So catch the first episode ("Alien Planets") of the second season of "The Universe" (bet you can't guess what this show is about...) Tuesday Nov. 27th, 9/8 central on the History Channel. Hopefully I don't look like a total goober... ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I already used up my internet time, so I don't have time to write much.



Except, now we have furniture. Real furniture, not from the used furniture store or left over from the 1970's.



That, and computers really shouldn't be run at 94.4F. I don't think we're coming back to this internet cafe soon.



Will write more stuff later. Miss you all!

Things are going well here. We got the apartment cleaned up and whatever I'm allergic to in there seems to be abating. Ok, since the whole "writing in complete paragraphs" thing is passe, here's a list.



good stuff:

1) At the mall here they have a whole stand at the food court that is entirely mochi. I got a chocolate covered strawberry... in chocolate mochi. This is seriously the most exciting thing ever.



2) Snorkeling at Hanauma bay. Yay fishies! And I only clocked kyrademon in the head with a flipper once (he has since forgiven me.)



3) Vegan dim sum.



4) Oceanview apartment.



5) Lots of other stuff, but I'm too lazy to write them here.



not so good:



1a) The whole not knowing anybody here thing. It's starting to get old and it's been less than a week. And patience isn't exactly my strong suit.



1b) I miss you all!



2) No cacti!

Just to let you know, kyrademon and I arrived safely in Honolulu today. Then we bought a futon. You can indeed see the ocean clearly from our apartment, unfortunately I'm also quite allergic to something in the apartment (mold perhaps.) So then we bought a giant air filter. So not into buying house stuff.



Miss you all already. More later.
