We're headed out to the lovely US of A, stopping shortly in San Francisco before resting in Honolulu for a month or so.

But first, some news:

What happened last week:

• I went to a graduation party at a bar with Marlena. At this party were a couple neo-nazis. At this bar was also a comedian who happened to be doing a skit about Hitler and his wife. Before the skit, the nazi boys raised their glasses to me (they were drinking a "Weiss-sauer" which is watered down white wine, typically considered a 'girly drink,' but that's besides the point) and being friendly, I raised my glass back to them. However, then they decided to take the opportunity to hail Hitler, at which point I was not entirely sure what to do (Did you know that you get up to three years in prison for a Seig Hail in Germany?).

• Luckily for everyone (they were getting rowdy and loud) the comedian finally came on, and during his hitler scene, the neo-nazis took offense and politely (no scruffs, just loud muttering and looks of bewilderment) decided that it would be in everyone's benefit for them to leave (it was, as everyone was a bit afraid to laugh at the excellent impersonation for fear of physical consequences)

• My Motu Ultralite is broken. For the non-interested or non-technical, that's the little box that I saved up a few months for that makes it possible for me to record music. Basically, I updated the firmware, and the box immediately responded by stating "CPU not found." Upon contacting motu for help, they responded with this loving statement: "It is important to understand that the cause of this issue is not the UltraLite firmware v1.15 update." Uh huh.

• I decided to carve out my new website. It's probably not worth coming back here for the next couple weeks...

What's going on the next few weeks?

• I go to Hawaii with Marlena, to sit in the sun, visit my buddies there and to get some good Ruby on Rails work done at Joots.
