Instead you feel the kindship of souls, no matter the age. You prefer to unify, to gather others around you to learn from them and to experience a life of joy with them. Beauty is a natural hue of all things, as seen through your eyes, and rarely do you pass severe judgement on others. You are very attuned to the physical, amazed by the power of sensuality and its effect on your senses. People can be confused when you move on to someone new, unaware you are simply free in spirit, not needing the anchors others do. You drink from the fountain of the Earth, enjoying the outdoors, the seasons, the abundance of life, and the passage of days into nights. Music vibrates your soul, and art is a kaleidoscope of visual sensation. Food delights you and friendship is more important than the clothes on your back. You sometimes feel people are cruel but want to forgive them, as you know something in them isn't right. You are often mistaken for an old soul, but you don't feel very old at all! New souls are gifts to the other souls, a reminder that goodness exists naturally and that we all can return to it, even after all the experiences that seem to trample it into dust. We are souls, on a very long journey of becoming. </p> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-26086747937746691792009-06-14T11:07:00.000-07:002009-06-14T11:13:31.065-07:00Boy, the movie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD98Q3kmnWngvkVvvLUgE2TvNT7IXPasNSiPet36IUU3oB2ETQQ_OnF0Ns-V3P2n-CJn5e95s3bu9dGb83hVpIb73dILe7qR6MkZQoy1bF49AH7VNYZXxpB_1Z8-HUEyzpHaGsd5YiP39C/s1600-h/BOY+poster+art.jpg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD98Q3kmnWngvkVvvLUgE2TvNT7IXPasNSiPet36IUU3oB2ETQQ_OnF0Ns-V3P2n-CJn5e95s3bu9dGb83hVpIb73dILe7qR6MkZQoy1bF49AH7VNYZXxpB_1Z8-HUEyzpHaGsd5YiP39C/s400/BOY+poster+art.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347246969777306050" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Please support this film! <span style="font-style: italic;">Boy</span>, the movie was coproduced by my uncle.

The Carribean is beautiful and sooooooooooo clean, a far cry from the scummy gray of the Hudson River. I didn't have a camera (I find it annoying to carry one around,) so as soon as she posts up photos. But I don't know what we'll have to share, other than our skin becoming progrssively darker as the days went by. I have a new found love for ATVing (we drove to the top of Mt. Zion and saw some of the community there) and we climbed Dunn's River Falls (while touristy, was really fun.) The rest of our days were spent lounging about by the beach, and taking photos of our knees against the shoreline.<br /><br />I'm gonna rub aloe gel over my sunburns now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-68048934998892432872009-06-08T01:50:00.000-07:002009-06-08T01:50:00.568-07:00pretty!<object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=466491&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=466491&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/466491">Drifters of the deep</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/eugenia">Eugenia Loli-Queru</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-43271673639804123722009-06-05T05:50:00.000-07:002009-06-05T05:55:37.242-07:00last night.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoEySiGzrPZW1cr1nDn6TIFdgJE0TRXo0c2EJVxzyruuy61rIo4qCFBAh0ebgIudJxi9vR8kM7GYAZAFPK9raxVWL1gI0Rpi21sZd1gDcnK2PbqFKEanuGM1R_9d6a9hSk0LE6owDWbyv/s1600-h/dinner.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoEySiGzrPZW1cr1nDn6TIFdgJE0TRXo0c2EJVxzyruuy61rIo4qCFBAh0ebgIudJxi9vR8kM7GYAZAFPK9raxVWL1gI0Rpi21sZd1gDcnK2PbqFKEanuGM1R_9d6a9hSk0LE6owDWbyv/s320/dinner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343825630890671410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzA3MMIIKxIk-7Je6bfhht_Lh34nZFuCr_y3ZZ7YxjVIcMl8UoB616cItWsOfBuVonc4sanhh5NxXi_IvVThxSuvgIoqyI3GxTtzTIO60c-c7H9bLAlucYZjZrxmnpcZbUuIvgLfxr3cW/s1600-h/cch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzA3MMIIKxIk-7Je6bfhht_Lh34nZFuCr_y3ZZ7YxjVIcMl8UoB616cItWsOfBuVonc4sanhh5NxXi_IvVThxSuvgIoqyI3GxTtzTIO60c-c7H9bLAlucYZjZrxmnpcZbUuIvgLfxr3cW/s320/cch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343825268823192706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglzxFJ2zmGfEw2-oUeWClWEyY6eJ64BZ6V-6jfwGN-FiTtJwnHBssRAUzSTD29dJdZI9vojvPf0NfsjEw4bnpkn54cc3XBllRUXzOQG5xA0hjGFhCmPwFXzRcWJDlEFFsP_L5hbTDtUgBK/s1600-h/cc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglzxFJ2zmGfEw2-oUeWClWEyY6eJ64BZ6V-6jfwGN-FiTtJwnHBssRAUzSTD29dJdZI9vojvPf0NfsjEw4bnpkn54cc3XBllRUXzOQG5xA0hjGFhCmPwFXzRcWJDlEFFsP_L5hbTDtUgBK/s320/cc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343825197294147330" border="0" /></a><br /><br />it seems i have an overdue gratitude list to make....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-38911117954104833962009-06-04T14:12:00.001-07:002009-06-04T14:13:10.855-07:00Come through!

I am excited to be one of their official marriage witnesses (I signed a legal document and everything!) and their retired maid of honor. The wedding was really cute and easy going - polaroids taken, guitar picks handed out, open bar, and lisa making folks look GORGEOUS on the big day.<br /><br />Binky and I have known each other since we were 15, and due to that history, I would safely say that she is the only person for whom I'd wear pink 12 hours straight. The wedding Binky and Anthony planned was gorgeous, and in an amazingly dramatic space - with the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges as backdrops - everything was beautiful!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qWST5m7PbCVCbsDA_Yl5YNMJtZP4gmFRMQpI-T8wVdFOm9FaVpvAGlYkcBDk4QHjYmxSuGUq0Ic6e3USqpVxLmfcA1bIb4ZMBHujcB-146lma0kl2-m2I8yCvgrNWMbEyYabjtYL6MQj/s1600-h/married.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qWST5m7PbCVCbsDA_Yl5YNMJtZP4gmFRMQpI-T8wVdFOm9FaVpvAGlYkcBDk4QHjYmxSuGUq0Ic6e3USqpVxLmfcA1bIb4ZMBHujcB-146lma0kl2-m2I8yCvgrNWMbEyYabjtYL6MQj/s320/married.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342504722394953826" border="0" /></a>JUST MARRIED by the pretty reflecting pool!<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgwBdehmGWaUaj3pbfDTt_8eC93rCW7LZgMEP3xSx7WvycgfRKdGoFX68iW0z3VOS2Ys83cw0UiIqu6U2wtjYEXxrwJ6g0_HCrcwtlfbK9LbDfkAwcvUc9czzoVzlbxtu2TfFyABrdk_Fi/s1600-h/bmaids.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgwBdehmGWaUaj3pbfDTt_8eC93rCW7LZgMEP3xSx7WvycgfRKdGoFX68iW0z3VOS2Ys83cw0UiIqu6U2wtjYEXxrwJ6g0_HCrcwtlfbK9LbDfkAwcvUc9czzoVzlbxtu2TfFyABrdk_Fi/s320/bmaids.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342504544695965666" border="0" /></a>The Bride and her party (notice the pink, and my lack of a tan.)<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyuN7Nz3rdtxo-M4hiHg70iiXLc7g3C70Z0vYq0W7oKI_As05GTLWkwHmFGQM5Q_rSxwmM_2udXP9TDiys3DCzJuXawJArQNfzFysTSVOLTbRCr9nl8Z22AWG9Yk_1cfMpbm3Pkr872nZu/s1600-h/icecream2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyuN7Nz3rdtxo-M4hiHg70iiXLc7g3C70Z0vYq0W7oKI_As05GTLWkwHmFGQM5Q_rSxwmM_2udXP9TDiys3DCzJuXawJArQNfzFysTSVOLTbRCr9nl8Z22AWG9Yk_1cfMpbm3Pkr872nZu/s320/icecream2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342504870937325826" border="0" /></a>Binx and Tony are such a laid back and playful couple,<br />CONGRATS you two!<br /></div><br /><br /><br />(Now, back to watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4Tk0OM6Jw"><span style="font-style: italic;">Teen Witch</span></a>!

(Uhm. It was a bit half assed, though; I had to compete with some fairly delicious dining fare while doing the damn thing.) I'll wait for photos to talk more about the wedding itself, but the venue was gorgeous and the ceremony was so relaxed and casual. Big ups to the loves of my life for the day: Gates and Darius for being such fantastic support staff at the Galapagos Arts Center! Hope to see your kind faces again, soon!<br /><br />Otherwise, it was an incredible honor being a part of this wedding. To see those two get married, my god! I got the jealousies (not really, but kinda!) I got the ill case of the warmfuzzies seeing old and new friends. Over delicious, delicious steaks. The photos shall surface soon on the facebooks. Watch out, I am rocking pink. Anyway, here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI9X-WXTBfE">the acoustic slow jam version</a> of that sad ass song.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">======<br /></div><br />However, in celebrating love, my family and I are also mourning the loss of my Lolo Abe, who passed away during yesterday's wedding. It's been a tumultuous time for my heart, and I've cried some of it out. Lolo Abe, my grandmother's brother, lived in Jersey City, and we hardly saw him until he was diagnosed with cancer within the last six months. He was so vibrant when I saw him last October - unfortunately, for the funeral of his daughter - that compared to these final days, it was pretty apparent that the disease had worn away his spirit. To say I will miss him is an understatement, only to pale in comparison to the deep regret I feel for not having seen him more often.<br /><br />I need to use the rest of the day to be amazingly still and silent.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-65864099697275120092009-05-23T15:27:00.000-07:002009-05-23T15:27:00.229-07:00if i haven't shared this already....this is a short i truly love.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2091349&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2091349&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/2091349">In Bed with a Mosquito</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/sarahfrank">Sarah Frank</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-54942799432453018192009-05-22T23:04:00.000-07:002009-05-22T23:05:27.437-07:00hi.having "expensive taste" doesn't mean that you can rock it.<br /><br />i will leave it at that. <3Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-80376805037647195362009-05-20T15:42:00.001-07:002009-05-20T15:42:30.439-07:00gorgeous out!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPykBxIMNmc490jWU1ZOvXdDR1TscDltCOQ7W9NDbPOyWDtfgp1Lmc8gQdPECDYW-zdKBPBnJLElso4anbsRZW9LYBjfNBB3m_ukCqCHHXiYhLkrPo6IfkfDVeSVsq8QKqI9XF8TU-l2V4/s1600-h/sunny.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPykBxIMNmc490jWU1ZOvXdDR1TscDltCOQ7W9NDbPOyWDtfgp1Lmc8gQdPECDYW-zdKBPBnJLElso4anbsRZW9LYBjfNBB3m_ukCqCHHXiYhLkrPo6IfkfDVeSVsq8QKqI9XF8TU-l2V4/s400/sunny.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338040250533062418" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-82832293898881670642009-05-20T08:09:00.001-07:002009-05-20T08:11:09.045-07:00The Filipino Film Fest!I'm really excited to come across these films.

Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don’t sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don’t like to be questioned themselves. They’re never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what not in the world at large.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-91146899856989090122009-05-19T11:18:00.000-07:002009-05-19T11:19:59.478-07:00we have bev.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20544473@N00/2608674067" id="fs_1" title=""W""><img alt="W" title="W" src="http://static.flickr.com/3291/2608674067_1a2bd5ac9e_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92686475@N00/3405276854" id="fs_2" title="E"><img alt="E" src="http://static.flickr.com/3563/3405276854_32fe2e138e_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <p> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49968232@N00/3470674562" id="fs_4" title="letter H"><img alt="letter H" src="http://static.flickr.com/3541/3470674562_55c3eb2c90_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29583647@N04/3378945276" id="fs_5" title=""'A' Letter Hanger by Heartfelt Handmade""><img alt="" title="" a="" letter="" hanger="" by="" heartfelt="" handmade="" src="http://static.flickr.com/3641/3378945276_7a8068626e_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49968232@N00/3237887407" id="fs_6" title="V"><img alt="V" src="http://static.flickr.com/3312/3237887407_e6a2616acc_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/97245938@N00/3540874425" id="fs_7" title="KMcElman_090516_E7"><img alt="KMcElman_090516_E7" src="http://static.flickr.com/2015/3540874425_0f84c9c620_t.jpg" border="0"></a><p> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49968232@N00/3211627671" id="fs_9" title="letter B"><img alt="letter B" src="http://static.flickr.com/3327/3211627671_f6d66fc726_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92745470@N00/3507919428" id="fs_10" title="E"><img alt="E" src="http://static.flickr.com/3381/3507919428_d7e6055f9e_t.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13727339@N07/2279260319" id="fs_11" title=""v003"" v\="" going="" dotty="" letter="" hanger=""><img alt="v003" title="v003" src="http://static.flickr.com/2123/2279260319_9cb0ed4875_t.jpg" border="0"></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-91167816693963616262009-05-17T20:23:00.000-07:002009-05-17T20:27:07.291-07:00My granduncle's email:<blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Hi, everyone.<br /><br />--- will be celebrating her 70th birthday on June XXth this year.

I am working on a tight deadline, as the<br />printers require at least ten days production time.<br /><br />This is meant as a surprise for ---, so, if by any chance, you will<br />communicate with her before her birthday, please do not say a word about this.<br /><br />Warmest regards to all.<br /></span><br />--------.</blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW CUTE IS THAT?</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-71994140329499978742009-05-17T19:27:00.000-07:002009-05-17T19:28:38.746-07:00I love the 80s!<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1XiZk74GkgM&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1XiZk74GkgM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-26025972097731967192009-05-13T22:19:00.000-07:002009-05-13T22:21:24.922-07:00this is my adorable cousin!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivm7Mjht6DEX6P9YUQOjTgp7E8R5IhoOqXh9flNyaAMZnfYUEuc6egLf_Kgm-kCEaS36Sy6OL7toDZmMA5SQ5BjmfKMmEJxwuJxezhRcOGIpDSrV2tw2FvUcS9v2AHIT5KwYS4WfCH9Lmt/s1600-h/eva.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335545257184078770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivm7Mjht6DEX6P9YUQOjTgp7E8R5IhoOqXh9flNyaAMZnfYUEuc6egLf_Kgm-kCEaS36Sy6OL7toDZmMA5SQ5BjmfKMmEJxwuJxezhRcOGIpDSrV2tw2FvUcS9v2AHIT5KwYS4WfCH9Lmt/s400/eva.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />we were playing peekaboo with a napkin. a no fail hit for any child <2 years old.<br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074776881862626252.post-43956082329334120412009-05-13T22:08:00.000-07:002009-05-13T22:19:02.418-07:00i love the people in my life.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLSiruHsiVg2Hq7OsglIlQFUOXRbOqZsKJamdPhu8INW4AbENmUdKjXL_ZjDL2Qy0Wo7U7qffYrsbflF46YCWlEkvQps8fBKOAqgcIJjJ5pbmfANpwPLnoxBMhShEb2RYKnq-vxfEWHatq/s1600-h/helene1.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335542353401184386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 174px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLSiruHsiVg2Hq7OsglIlQFUOXRbOqZsKJamdPhu8INW4AbENmUdKjXL_ZjDL2Qy0Wo7U7qffYrsbflF46YCWlEkvQps8fBKOAqgcIJjJ5pbmfANpwPLnoxBMhShEb2RYKnq-vxfEWHatq/s400/helene1.png" border="0" /></a><br /><ul><li>i am grateful for this work issued laptop with a videocam.</li><li>knowing that the moral highground is always the answer</li><li>hugging val</li><li>talking about using the unknown practical uses of the confederate flag with stephen</li><li>loving jilla over something served with bagoong</li><li>cat and fam in jersey city</li><li>cat's niece being ridiculously cute</li><li>time with my own family this past weekend</li><li>people i love finding happiness in love right in time for spring</li><li>knowing that my sisters will be home soon</li><li>redbull fruit punch</li><li>seeing kimmie in her wifey/2nd home</li><li>writing letters</li><li>journaling again</li><li>cool, sunny days</li><li>knowing how to trace IPs</li><li>WP 08 sorta worked!
