Episode Five ¦ Too Much of Nothing

Boogie boarding didn’t work for us because the only waves were over the rocks. But the waves did come. And a storm. Just as we traded for a Kayak.

After almost capsizing out at sea trying to rescue a coconut, we figured we should head back once again since we had technically signed our lives’ away.

Pancakes on a September Morning

Monday, September 18th, 2006

88 degrees farenheit in San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to the weather guide. Eighty-eight. Umm, that’s a lot, and also, completely incorrect. Had it been 88 degrees, I would not have broken into a puddle of sweat two minutes after leaving my apartment building. Seriously, I don’t know who decides to rate these temperature-telling devices, I’ve been told it’s thermometers, but I do believe we are in dire need of some serious fine-tuning.

I was walking to school today and quickly noticed that I was in fact 75% water, as scientists say. I began perspirating and perspirating and perspirating. GOODNESS, it’s late September, when will the temperature change, you know? Enough is enough, Lord. You’ve made your point with this heat, now can we pleaaaase move on to December? I cannot continue walking to school with wet clothes, I cannot. I’m sick and tired of it, and it’s cruel and unjust. Sure, I could DRIVE, but I’d be contributing to global warming as I’d be using my car innecessarily. There’s also the fact that the parking here sucks and that gas prices are not people-friendly. I’m currently undergoing a difficult time in my life where I find myself unable to spend as much money as I would like. This includes gas. So walking it is.

I’ve always walked to school. It’s just easier. “Easier” I should say. It’s rather uncomfortable to walk by people who do not seem to sweat at all, while you, yourself, are wet from head to toe. And I wasn’t even wearing my tight jeans today! Ok, they’re a little tight, but they’re not tiiiiight. Wearing tight jeans in high temperatures? Not a good idea. I first realized what a stupid idea it was the day I went to Old San Juan with my friends. You guys should remember the entry. I even added a slideshow, so you better remember. If not, look it up in the August archives. So yeah, anyway. That day was quite hot and I realized and TOLD myself, “Regner, you may never again wear skinny leg jeans to go to Old San Juan.”

A world of good that did me.

When oz came to Puerto Rico, we indeed DID go to Old San Juan during the afternoon. While the sun was setting. Beautiful afternoon, yes, but what was Reggles wearing? That’s right. Skinny leg jeans. I think we all know what happened. Puddle of sweat. You can ask oz, who was dying too. We had to go get something to drink.

So here I am in the library writing this entry, while casually glancing to the side. I am furthermore able to appreciate the beautiful day that we are having today and I’m thinking to myself “You have to walk back to the apartment now.” On my way there, I will sweat like a mutha aaaalll over again, and the story will repeat itself until May cometh. When classes end.

Which reminds me, it’s only September, I have not taken ONE single quiz/test, and I am already looking forward to May. There is absolutely nothing that can console me. Except the thought of December vacations.

Ah, Winter Wonderland. The stunning temperature drops will cool as ALL down, for instead of it being 88 degrees, we will be exposed to, a plunging, 85 degree weather. I hear it might snow this year, but we’ll see.

Rooftop Playground

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Just to keep you occupied whilst we sift through the hours of footage we have collected, here I present you with another teaser we recorded on our last day together: Rooftop Playground.

We filmed this on the roof of Regner’s apartment block, some 22 stories high. I’ll tell you now, this is one of the few movies we have where we don’t talk so enjoy it while you can! The background music is Banquet by Bloc Party.

Please let us know what you think of our movies. Afterall, we have spent endless nights creating just a few minutes of modest entertainment. Oh, and if you have a YouTube account please subscribe to our channel. If you don’t please get and then subscribe! We’ll love you.

For now, enjoy.


Oz Iz Airborne 2

Monday, September 11th, 2006

It’s over! The experience has reached its end today. A few hours ago, I dropped off oz at the airport. We were both pretty quiet, I’m sure he had a lot of things on his mind. I did too. Honestly, the whole thing has been surreal. It’s been INCREDIBLE getting to know oz. I think back on all the things we were able to do and I am so happy that we had the chance to do them. We really got to know each other well during this week. We spent practically ALL of our time together and we really soaked up the experience to the maximum. We have NO regrets, and that is saying something.

There was talk about me getting inside of oz’s luggage to go back to the UK with him, but we perished the thought upon realizing that the airport people would find a huge carcass inside of the bag when they’d pass me through the x-ray machine. So no, I am in Puerto Rico, while oz should be flying over the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps. I do miss him very much. It’s weird not having him around when we spent so much time together during this past week. But… no worries. We shall be seeing each other soon enough. Manchester in summer. :)

In all honest, I find it really hard to explain the whole experience. I guess you just have to LIVE it because there are very few words to explain it. Oz and I have grown, our friendship has skyrocketed to a whole new level, it is solid.

ANYWAY. I’ve been asked quite frequently the following questions, so I will now engange in a Q and A rant. Or something.

-”How is oz treating you?”

He was very nice to me lol. He called me “retard” on many occasions but that’s fine.

-”How is oz?”

Oz was/is fine. He very much enjoyed the island and had much much fun. Apart from his whining from the heat.

-”What did you guys do?”

Everything, really.

-”Did you have fun??”

OH YES.

-”What is he like?”

Oz is tall, blonde, incredibly funny, smart, playful, charismatic, energetic, and whinny. “The ants are biting me.”/ “I’m drained.”/ “I can’t be bothered.”… =) He is one of the greatest people you will ever meet.

-”Where is he from?”

Chester, UK.

-”Were you scared?”

In the beginning, I was. Didn’t know if he’d like me.

-”Were there any awkward moments?”

Zero. Non. Nada. Nothing. It was as if we’ve known each other from childhood.

-”What did you feed him?”

Fine Puerto Rican cuisine: Big Macs.

-”It must be hard having a relationship like that from so far away, right?”

Yes. But we our friendship is really strong. No more than ever, so distance won’t break it… it’ll just make it that much more special when we DO meet again.

-”What was it like?”

Like meeting a brother.

So yes! if you have any more questions, please feel free lol. You will get more of a feel of us when we post our tv show online. You’ll love it. Just… wait for it. Thank you all for keeping track of us. :)
