Little Miss Sunshine

I have to say, this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. If you haven't seen it go, please rent it, or netflix it or how ever you watch movies get it.

Ok so you may ask Gerbil, why did you like this, you hate everything....

well, this has some of the most interesting characters I have seen in long time...I am particularly fond of Dwayne, Frank and Grandpa.

I guess for me Dwayne and Frank are pretty close to home....Dwayne reminds me a bit of a high school Gerbil...all I wanted to do was get the hell out. Frank is what I could be in 10-15 year, but instead of a Proust scholar I'll be a trust scholar....but the pettiness of academia and what it can drive you to is only too apparent if you hang around too long without appropriate balancing mechanisms (like Sir GB).

But I also have to say, I enjoy the statement it makes about children's beauty pagents. Olive is the only kid that actually looks like a kid, not a shrunken barbie doll. I won't ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it. But she is the only one with integrity.

It isn't often I moved to write here about a movie or anything I have seen, so I think that should be good enough for some of you to check this movie out.

Here are a few highlights!

if you haven't been, you should go...

Aloha

So far so good....sure we have coral cuts and blisters, but we are having a fabulous time. We have had 4 honu (green sea turtle sightings) many awesome fish sightings, as well as a fred willard sighting at LAX. We were supposed to go on a helicopter adventure yesterday, but it got postponed due to weather...So we will go tomorrow. Today we went on a kayak adventure....and yes I paddled, and didn't even put my feetin the water the entire time. The kayak trip was up to a waterfall....it was so totally cool...we are having a fabulous time!

Animals in Need

So I was reading one of my favorite blogs stuff on my cat, and I read about this horrible fire at the jacksonville, fl human society. All but two of the puppies made it, but most of the kitties didn't. You can read about it here and make a donation if you would like.

you may wonder where i have been lately

well here is the answer....Tiger and I have been asleep....

Actually we have been working our butts off...well Sir GB and I have...Tiger has been busy playing.

But we are headed to Kauai on sunday. In the mean time we see the A's and the Yankees tomorrow, and then spend all day saturday getting ready....
