Yes, I know I’ve been slacking on posts lately. After E3, I had a few days to take a breather before having to dive back into the madness known as “prepping for Comic Con.” There was also a weekend vacation to Mexico, which is where this picture of me about to drink rattlesnake tequila came from.
So over the weekend, the full schedule for this year’s SDCC was announced. I managed to express the first day panels that I was most interested in the other day. I figured now that I have a few moments, I’ll mention a few for the rest of the days.
DAY 2: There’s a whole bunch of Marvel panels that I may or may not stop [...]

Alicia and I decided to lay low today and give our bodies a rest… so much that we literally didn’t leave the resort at all today.
We woke up, grabbed lunch, went snorkeling on our beach, laid out in the sun and read for a while, grabbed a drink on the way back up to our villa, laid around some more, grabbed dinner, laid out under the stars, then went swimming and hot tubbing. Now we’re sitting around in our living room, going through underwater footage and treating our faces to mud masques.
Tomorrow, it’s time to become shark bait.

It’s weird when you take the time to think about how fast time flies, whether you are having fun or not. It was around this time last year that I took the same much-needed vacation to get away from all of the stress, all of the irritation, and all of the pain. It was this time last year that I made the same decision and had the same feeling of release as time passed on the island.
As much of a workaholic that I am, even workaholics need their breaks. The funny thing is, I found myself having to force myself to “detox” on the first day, slapping my own hands every time I looked down at my iPhone and saw [...]

For those who have been following me for a while now, may remember the countdown from last year’s Hawaii birthday/vacation trip. Well, it’s that time again.

In 15 days, my best friend Alicia and I will be making a return for our annual much-needed relax time (and my birthday)!
This year, we will be equipping ourselves with two FlipCams instead of one… and she is currently working on securing underwater cases. Learning from last year’s trip, we’ve already started to prep on how little we’ll be bringing in our bags this year.
Stoked.

It’s that time of year again for my Birthday/Vacation. Everything is booked and ready to go!
Next month, Alicia and I are making our return to one of our favorite islands. Perhaps we’ll swim with sharks this time.

Yeahhhh, I know, I know. It took me forever to get this up, but ya know, I’ve been a busy gal, haha. Anyway, here’s the video:

Here’s some more random video footage from May 2009′s Hawaii trip smushed into 10 minutes (and 29 seconds).
Alicia, Elissa, Karri, and myself went out there for a week to celebrate my birthday and just get away from a lot of the craziness we were all dealing with. Coincidentally, our friends Phily and Alex were out there at the same time, as well.
Like a lot of the other Hawaii vids, there are a lot of inside jokes that nobody else is going to get…. so you’re basically watching another video of us being goofs. But hey, [...]

Here’s another video from my Hawaii trip back in May:

May 2009 in Hawaii. After a brutal hike through Waimea the day before, we decided to take a day off and just grill and relax.

Here’s a photo of my best friend and I in North Shore, Oahu. Hawaii. May 2009.
It’s pretty much my new favorite spot. I want it to be May 2010 so I can be back there already…
