So I'm at sea.
Being "at sea" means I can't update my various blogs without being charged a insane "by the minute" rate on the cruise's wi-fi so I have decided to blog the old school way with pen and paper, a actual journal in fact.
This decision was helped along by the fact that I am a semi-insomniac. Right now my lady is out cold next to me having finally let the long day catch up to her, it was a very long day.
We boarded the ship at about 12:30pm or so and have been all over this bitch, our cabin is small and has a dcor somewhere between "romper-room" and "captain kangaroo" one of the first orders of business was taking my belt and using it to strap the two single beds together so our sleeping arrangement would be such that me and Lia could actually sleep together.
Our cabin is in the bow (or front) of the ship on the port side (or left) which is interesting because I can feel the waves crash into the ship causing a rocking that is very calming, I have no doubt Lia was actually rocked to sleep by the ocean, as for me. I feel drunk without all the obvious benefits.
We embarked from NYC headed south toward Florida, all I did today was eat and hit the onboard library where I borrowed a copy of the complete "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" and stole a copy of Bill Bryson's "Life and times of the Thunderbolt kid"

What a fucked up dream! In a nutshell, I want to bowl. I'm at the alley and everything is going wrong, no shoes, no ball, find a ball it's the wrong weight, find the right weight and the finger holes are to small, the ball return is on the fritz, the pin stander-upper is stuck down! Finally when the planets have aligned and I am about to roll. MY ALARM GOES OFF
"na na na na na na na na BATMAN!" FUCK!
At the breakfast buffet I have decided to replace my desire to bowel with Bacon. It totally worked.
The ship is still cruising at about 24 knots toward Florida we are still rocking a lot and the onboard pools are empty on account of this. There isn't a whole lot to do on the ship eat, sleep, read, shop or drink, and of course you could spend your time documenting the boredom as I have chosen to do.
Formal night tonight we will be decked out all prom like and shit, there will be pics I'm sure.
Anyway, I'm a little bummed you didn't come to my party. Oh well. Courtney came, the poor girl showed up after everyone had gone and she dressed up so friggin' cute.
So maybe we hang out another time soon, ya big guy?
