"No Other Love" - Common Kings

Addicted...



Mike Love

We toured the Garlic and Ginger Festival at Ward, Honolulu, HI, last night. Surrounded by garlic sandwhiches, garlic steak, garlic ahi poke, garlic garlic garlic! The sweets were thankfully embellished with the ginger half of the festival theme and included ginger cotton candy and (it seemed everyone's favorite) candied ginger bacon.

The entire place had run out of beer by the time we got there, so we got in line for some cocktails. No ginger or garlic themes here though. That would have been fun.

But the highlight of the night wasn't the garlic or the ginger. It was the music. Mike Love, a local reggae musician, was amazing as usual.

Here's a taste of his awesomeness:

"Knee Deep"

This song by the Zac Brown Band has been running through my head all day in the lab today. It's the perfect embodiment of everything I want right now: sun, sand, the water. Not a worry in the world. Hopefully I'll get there soon. Right now I'm stuck in my lab running samples that aren't being very nice. Do you know what gas chromatography - isotope ratio mass spectrometry is? No? Here's some advice: don't find out.



Update: I'm officially packing up and leaving this fluorescent lab for the night before all the chemicals make me grow a third eye. Round 2 starts tomorrow at 7 am. Maybe I'll look for some kind of paradise in the meantime.

My sister blowing up Miley Cyrus. The most exciting thing Macy's has seen since those silly "I'm too cute to do math" t-shirts.

My roommate CJ is an amazing musician. Check out her latest collaboration with her bro!
