Sunday
(I know it's very meta
to talk about the nuts and bolts of your online journal - like,
let us destroy the happy fiction of you and I chatting together,
thick as thieves, with the sudden rude reminder that I'm only
tossing up words via wads of poorly concocted HTML, delivered
by Diaryland's bottle-to-sea-cast, occasionally stumbled upon
by glassy eyed Googlers who must constantly swab at the drool-line
hanging from their chins in order to keep their keyboards dry.
YOU, dear reader, dear guestbook-entry-leaver,
dear emailer, dear visitor, I missed writing to you. And
really, the last thing I want to do is PUNISH you for coming
by today. But! I have all these pictures! That I wanted to share!
And, I don't know, they might make this page take like twelve
fucking hours to load. Or they might not! I haven't got a clue.
Anyway, please accept my Very Sincere Apology if my self-absorption
hoses your modem. Also, you need DSL. Is what I'm saying.)
When you're traveling as a
couple on your own, in order to have pictures of the two of you
it's necessary to 1) rely on the kindness of strangers, or 2)
rely on the reflectiveness of, uh, reflective surfaces. This
is our balcony, where we're waiting to depart L.A. Neither one
of us has had a drink yet, which makes this photo a true anomaly.
Hey, LOTS of things are reflect-y!
This is JB looking down at one of the pools on the ship.
What you do, see, is you sit
in your lounge chair and you soak up as much sun as you can until
you can actually hear your skin wrinkling, and you drink Coronas
and suck on the limes and read your book, and when you have to
pee - you make your way down to the pool.
Ha ha, just kidding! Of course
you don't pee in the pool. That's what the hot tub is
for.
Puerto Vallarta booze cruise!
It's a snorkle trip, but more importantly, it's a boat
with an open bar. This is JB mugging with the crew, who are the
hardest working guys in show business.
Now. You might be thinking,
Sundry, by your shining red face and goony expression, I would
say you have had at least 7 margaritas! And you would be right.
This guy was the boat's host, and he was a scream. Absolutely
hysterical.
He looks a little wary of ME,
doesn't he? As I cling to him like a drunken koala bear.
Here's the big-ass back of
our ship, taken after returning from the cruise de booze.
I'm still completely shitfaced in this picture.
(I just realized every single
article of clothing I are wearing in these pictures comes from
Old Navy. Pity me and my cattle-like devotion to cheap brands.)
Cabo! Cabo Wabo! It's Sammy
Hagar's hey-I'm-not-a-loser-seriously-you-guys restaurant. We
laughed at one autographed picture of him hanging from the wall
that said "Cabo Wabo RULES." I mean, hello? Dude owns
the fucking place.
I had two shots of the Cabo
Wabo blue agave tequila at this place. AND IT WASN'T EVEN NOON.
Also? JB's shirt? Old Navy.
I'm like a parakeet, constantly
going for the mirrored surfaces, aren't I? We're just hanging
out in a bar on the ship and the ceiling was a shiny brass-colored
metal. I like this picture. I've decided it's my best angle.
From now on anyone taking a picture of me must climb a ladder
and aim downward.
Illicit booze and Cuban cigar
smuggling! I'm just including this so we seem more bad ass.
Okay, so what do you think
of the tattoo? Is it not so totally tubular to the max? Both
the tattoo (henna) and the necklace were obtained on the beach
at Mazatlan, where locals come by your chair every .000001 seconds
and offer to sell you shit.
I have a kajillion more photos
- hooray for digital cameras! - but seriously? I have so much
laundry to do right now, holy balls. Plus, oh my GOD the cat
with the clinging and the yowling and the Hey! Now I Can Go Outside
AND Come Back In Whenever I Want-ing, and the refrigerator with
the UNBELIEVABLE smell, like a WHALE died in the crisper, and
you know, maybe I should do some goddamn SHOPPING because this
Old Navy thing is EMBARRASSING.

P.S. Even a closed bottle of
moisturizer can burst open from pressure during a flight and
cover every square inch of your suitcase's contents with viscous
white goo. Just, you know, FYI.
