Windy Today

Windy today (think there's a cyclone in Fiji) and an earthquake last night, felt good. Friday had a housewarming, fun but two mugs and a bowl went with the boys in the taxi on the way to Billfish, ugh, now I'm really down to one plate and 3 plastic forks. Somehow domesticity elludes me. Lolo brought a kitten he found on Saturday, beautiful marking, golden brown leopard spots and tiger stripes, must be 2 or 3 weeks old only. Maybe 4. I don't know.

Thank god I had Masami bring an Mp3 player, the walking and bus riding and sitting at the internet cafe is much more reasonable -- err -- palatable with my own tunes bumping secretly in my ears.

I thought I'd update and say I was in Samoa for 2 weeks in November, a little R&R, I attended the Miss South Pacific, which MISS TONGA won, woohoo. I'm interviewing her this month to post up on Mahe'i's website: Check it out at www.kakalaotonga.com, and got to track down Walter Pupu'a, boxer extraordinaire, to interview him as well. Anyways, got those to line up this month. Eh, before I forget I met a dude who works at the US Embassy in Apia, notified me that only 6 deportees sent back from US to Apia. He said their office is notified of all transiting Tongan deportees on the LA-APIA-TBU flight, the same flight I was on this last time, and the same flight Salesi took too, the same flight most Tongan deportees take..
