Decapitation and Bloodlust


Well my friend Leigh Ann has flown away, back to Yale. But before she left, my friends and I got together for one last fling until Christmas. I did a crazy thing this past Wednesday...I bought a new television set. Nice HDTV, 32". Yes, I'm salivating over it. But it was too big to fit into my car, so I had to leave it there, and have it delivered. Immense sadness commenced. But I did get to purchase Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers as well as Soul Caliber II for the PS2. Then we went over to a friends house and played!

What did we do? Well we played Soul Caliber II for about 3 hours. It's so much fun, whacking each other with swords and whips and chains. No this isn't some S&M porno video. It's a video game you sick freaks! And really, really addicting. I get a little competitive at times. Hehehehe. But it was really good fun. And a great way to get rid of aggression. Then we watched the Two Towers, eating Zippy's dinner. My friend Jennifer, Goddess of Chocolate, was the only one willing to take silly pictures with me. So there we are, lying on a pillow. And my digital camera is doing well and fine. Of course, it is no longer my newest digital toy. My fellow residents better be happy, man. I'm donating my 27" TV to the residents lounge. Not like we have that much time to watch TV, but anyways...they still better be thankful. Heheheh. K y'all. See you later.

Driving with Nowhere to Go


Humerous afternoon and night did have I. A recap is as follows:

I went to eat lunch at Kuru Kuru Sushi with my friends Leigh Ann, Valerie, and Jennifer (our friend Chad was working there). I was admiring my friend Leigh Ann's cellphone, and being the nosey person I am, I checked her recent call list. She had calls from private numbers. So in complete innocence I exclaimed to my friends: "Look! Leigh Ann has privates!" My friend Jennifer gave me a strange look...and said "Yes Darrett, everyone has privates. Unless you want to make them public." And I just started guffawing, I hadn't meant it like that. I think my friends have strange minds.

After that I was supposed to take my friend Jennifer back to meet her hubby at a friend's house. Normally I would have just dropped her off at home, but Jennifer decided we needed an adventure since we hadn't had one since we almost went to the Mililani Cemetary at 9:00 pm. So she decided to pick up the wrong set of keys when she exited her building and locked herself out. So we had to find our way from Anna Millers to some gosh forsaken place near Ice Palace. Needless to say, things didn't go well...We actually ended up at Kam Shopping Center and stopped off at McDonalds to get napkins (because I had sneezed like ookojillion times in the car and Jennifer didn't have Kleenex. Editors note: I thought all girls carried Kleenex in the purses!). Eventually we figured out to get back to the Stadium Exit, but then couldn't find the street. So we had to call one more time...eventually we found the street. So we were sailing along looking for a green mailbox and a park in the pitch black of night...got to the end of the street and still didn't find the aforementioned things. So we drove back...and then...we saw a public park...I drive in there to turn around and Jennifer exclaims: "Don't go to the park!" I give her a weird look and say..."I know he doesn't live at the park...Sheesh!". And we start laughing. Eventually we find what appears to be a green mailbox and then I drop her off...what excitement no?

Oh, and I changed my cell phone message...It says something to the effect of: "This is Darrett's evil twin...Mwahahahahahahaha. If he's reeeeeeeally good I might let him have his messages so leave one after the beep. Ok, bye. "

Another suggestion was: "Hi you have reached Darrett's pimp phone. If you'd like to have Jennifer Hamada's services press 1 now. If you want to have Chad Kobayashi's services press 2 now. If you'd like to contact me, please leave a message. Thank you."

humor toilet photo monkey

On account of that nifty counter at the bottom of the page, I am able to see how people get to my page. Imagine my surprise when I saw someone used the text search string of humor toilet photo monkey. First of all, why in the world would someone use that search string? Then I thought, how odd that my page pops up. I certainly don't have any photos of any monkeys interacting with a toilet that is humorous. Of course, now I have to look for a photo of a monkey with a toilet that's funny so that person isn't disappointed right?

Montly Update: July-August

Darrett was told he must update his page as it is slowly degenerating into a pale representation of his current life. July and August so far have been fun. It's been a very, very busy time in my life, getting used to being a new Pediatric intern. I think all of us are adjusting well. I'm going to be finishing my stint on the wards soon; I move to Adolescent Medicine next. I'm looking forward to normal sleeping times. Other than that, I've hung out with friends from college and medical school on my few free days. I got myself a spiffy new Sprint PCS cell phone that rings with Tigger Bouncing. And I sit and read Jennifer's online journal. I contacted a friend in New Haven CT (yes, she's going to Yale) using the spiffy new cell phone with long distance. So what have I learned?:

  1. Sleeping is a luxury, take it whenever you can.
  2. Life is more fun with friends.
  3. Don't wait for people to contact you, take the first step and call them.
  4. Cell phones are fun, especially when you can make them Disneyfied.
  5. Having a paycheck is really, really cool. Especially when you haven't had one in over 2 years. And now you make more in 1 week than you used to make in 1 month.

LIFE SATISFACTION: Looking good, at an all time high.
Oh, and just a sidenote: Jennifer (otherwise known as Jenn) was rambling on about nicknames. I never really had one either, but she named me Ratboy.
