Still, after seeing the photos my sister-in-law snapped of me and my husband, David, during out recent cruise, I felt compelled to share a few of them here. Hopefully you'll get a kick out of them.
And if not? Well, things will return to normal tomorrow morning. I promise.
This photo (above) was taken while our ship, the Island Princess, made its way through a segment of the Panama Canal. Why am I so peppy, you ask? I'm guessing it's because I was on my third soda of the day--and it was only 10 am.
In this photo, David and I are demonstrating our prowess (or not) at paddle tennis. I'm pretty sure we were the only people on the entire ship (of just under 2,000 passengers) to try our hands at this rather idiotic sport.
Do you see the look on David's face in the photo above? That's the face of a guy who has beaten his husband at ping pong (or "table tennis," if that's how you roll) in 1,000 out of 1,024 matches. Sigh.
Me and the hubs working on our tans (or not) in Aruba. You can't really tell by looking at this photo, but I was sweating like a pig at the time. What can I say? My body was meant for cooler temps.
I don't know about you, but I think this last photo should be used to promote tourism in Aruba.
So, there you have it: 10 days of fun whittled down to five photographs. Do you feel as though you know me a bit better as a result? Probably not, but at least now you know I'm an actual human being and not just a NSFW bara manga character.

Cute photos, but I want to see Pajamas.
Looks like a great vaccation! :) I laughed when I saw the cactus girl. :D
Ahhhh! So that's how you look in real life.
I only had your avatar-picture to imagine how you look like haha :D
Hey it looks like you had fun on your trip.
Really wish it would be warmer here in Hamburg :(
I'm not a winter-person... 27°C or above but at the moment we got 5°C and thats waaaaay to cold for me.
I'm always cold here...
Pajamas, you say? Here's a whole set of Pajamas photos, warp: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bochalla/sets/72157594439385458/
Ha ha! Glad you liked that one in particular, Linnea. I did, too :)
Well, Melody, that's pretty much why I decided to share these photos today -- so folks would get to see the "real me," etc. And hopefully chuckle a bit, too :)
As for preferring hot or cold temps: I actually prefer things to be somewhere in the middle. I don't like it when it's 95 and humid, but I also don't love it when it's 0 degrees and freezing.
In that regard, Seattle's a pretty good place for me, although I have to admit our seven-month winter, when temps stick to about 45 or 50 degrees F, can get a bit old.
Anyway, sorry to hear it's so cold where you are now. Go get some of those alpaca earmuffs to help you keep warm :)
Maybe I will. I already contacted Alpacasso because of the earmuffs. They said they will stock up with some brown ones.
Oh! Well, I hope you get some brown ones soon then. And maybe take a photo of yourself wearing them? :)
Bryan, you have to check Annes blog! She posted photos of her Animal Crossing 3DS-LL which arrived today!! AWWWW!
Ha ha! I *just* saw that, Melody. Looking through them now. Ahhhhhhhhhh! XD
Hey, I just checked Amazon.de and the Pikachu 3DS LL is now available for preorder! I preordered my 3DS LL just a minute ago! :D
Good for you, Melody! I can't wait to see photos of it after you get it -- if you're willing to share, of course :)
Sure I will! The release will be the 7th of december, just as for Paper Mario Sticker Star.
Ah! Are you getting Paper Mario, too? Seems like it would be a good way for you to put your new XL/LL to the test!
I preordered Paper Mario some month ago and now that the release-date of the game and the 3DS LL is the same it seems like I'll getting both items at the same day. :)
Great! Can't wait to hear what you think of both of them :)
awwww kitteh!!!
Thanks for sharing :)
I probably have too much stuff shared LOL
Hi there, I found some posts on the internet which say that the Pikachu 3DS LL will be release in America too?
Ha! Well, there's nothing altogether wrong with that, Igor -- although I guess that depends on what you've shared and where it's been shared :P
Hmmm, I don't know, Melody. I certainly have heard that myself, but it's possible I missed that announcement? I'll do some digging and find out...
Yeah, I've taken a few photos of her. What can I say? I'm a proud papa/mama :)
I'm sure you've seen my menagerie!! LOL
Actually, I don't think I have -- but now I'm going to look!
Oh, she's beautiful! I love calicos, but I hear they're crazy!
Thanks, warp! I don't know about other calicos, but ol' Pajamas definitely is a bit nuts. We love her to death anyway, though -- at least most of the time ;)
I didn't even know you had a cat, Bryan! My family has a calico too, and she's a bit nuts... So it's either a calico or just a straight-up cat thing, haha
It's great to see photos of you once in a while! Especially when you look like you're having so much fun :)
Thanks, Anne! What can I say, I'm actually pretty shy. Well, until I get to know folks, at least.
Really? I guess I've never -- or rarely -- mentioned it here, or on Twitter, etc. Anyway, yes, I think cats in general are kind of nuts, but calicos are supposed to be especially so :P
Thanks for sharing, Bryan! I'm with Anne on this one. It's great to see little snippets of your life! BTW, you and David are an Adorable couple. Capital A.
Thank you, Justin :) I'll try to share additional snippets of my life from time to time in the future, OK? I wouldn't expect me to do it all that often, though, as it's just not my kind of thing. I guess I just like the anonymity that comes with being a random blogger :)
Hmm, it seems the comments thing here has gone weird :| Anyway, thanks for the pics Bryan, it looks like you and David had a lot of fun. I'd love to go on a cruise one day. You'd recommend it, I take it? :)
Hey there, Simon! If you look at the post before this one, you'll see that I recently added DISQUS to this blog. If you sign up for it (DISQUS), it makes tracking comments and such easier. The main reason I added it here, though, is that it allows for nested/tiered comments.
Anyway, as for this cruise: Oh, yes, we had a blast. This was our third cruise and I have to say I'd love it if we could go on one every year! There's just something so relaxing about them, IMO. So, yes, highly recommended from me!
