Cooks Wanted
I had walked by a restaurant chain and was stopped by this sign.
I guess the sign worked since it was gone a few days later. The cooks must have been acquier-ed.
Pulp
All In with the Seaweed Crunch
Who else out there is all in with the Seaweed Crunch snack available at Hawaii Costco locations? Who knew almonds and nori pairs nicely? And 36 pieces in one serving size! That’ll definitely fill you up.
Since you never know if Costco will continue to carry this (or any) product, you might as well stock up while you can!
Searching for the Curling Look
Gotta love the guys who won gold for Team USA in curling during the 2018 Winter Olympics. So of course, now I gotta look for apparel to mimic that curling look.
Found this at Ross but not close in design and size at XXL.
Askhole, Know Any?
Saw this shirt at The Refinery in Kahala Mall that defines an “askhole.” Do you know any?
A person who constantly asks for your advice, yet always does the exact opposite.
Catnip Hotel, I’m Intrigued
I must admit that the advertising for the Catnip hotel has me intrigued.
I don’t know what pheromone therapy is but more importantly, I really want to know what movies are shown on the big screen for the cats.
If Knowing Is Half the Battle…
If G.I. Joe says knowing is half the battle then Starbucks says that anticipation is half the fun.
Though with the contents of the boxes known, there’s no anticipation. No anticipation means half the fun is gone, but yet knowing is half the battle. So where does that leave us?!?! Confused, I guess.
Champion from Watermelon to Poke
It simply don’t matter. From watermelon to poke, the results are the same – winner.
Let’s set the stage. Ricefest 2017. Third annual poke bowl eating contest sponsored by Paina Cafe. Two bowls. One bottle POG. No palu allowed. Three minutes. Ten contestants. The most poke eaten determines the winner. Utensils optional. From what I understand, the first to sign up is the most intense…
Here’s coverage thanks to Channel808.TV.
Okay, okay, kinda funky editing of the video that jumps past the eating action. Let’s try this one instead. Are you hungry?
Thanks to Linda for the video and pics.
Still hungry? How about some watermelon from 2009 and 2014? Want more poke? Look no further than April at the Hawaiian Ocean Expo.
Today I Am Defeated
Today I am defeated although it started last night with the surprise release of the SNES Classic Edition. So if you recall, I had one of these pre-ordered through Walmart but this “accidental” release was cancelled. Last night Best Buy released their pre-orders, accidentally or not. I didn’t see the release in time so missed out on their pre-order. I felt close a few times but could never complete the deal.
This morning, I find out that Walmart did their release (legit this time) along with Gamestop and Target. Again I was late and one hour behind the release, there was no way I was getting one. Target.com inventory came and went a few times, but I could never complete the checkout.
Now bummed, I get notified that my computer is running out-of-date software that I believe I had to install a long time ago to be in compliance. Either that software version is now old or unnecessary. So I gotta figure out what to do because really the service desk isn’t servicing.
Also dealing with Windows file and folder permission issues and trying to manage them without the use of groups. Not fun at all.
I think I’ll just blame yesterday’s eclipse for all of this. Here’s my view of the eclipse.
Faith Lost
Looks like this “faithful niner” has lost his faith. Beaten down and broken down, this abandoned truck has been collecting parking tickets for sometime. It’s missing one window, the car battery is under the vehicle, and it’s sitting on three wheels. Yeah, I’d say faith has been lost.
Ross Ala Moana Grand Opening
Short story. I missed the grand opening of the new Ross at Ala Moana.
Downstairs by Old Navy, I got to the store at 7:30 hoping it would be open according to the posted store hours. But grand openings being grand openings, this event’s timeline superceded regular store hours. So although patrons were waiting for the store to open at 7:30, the Ross management informed us that the store would open around 9am after the opening celebration.
Not wanting to wait 90 minutes to return items, I left the now-open-but-not-yet-opened Ross.
Japanese Laundromats Shrink Your Clothes
While I’m thankful that there are many coin laundry services available in Japan, especially nearby our hotel in Kyoto, be warned that your clothes may shrink. That’s what happened to my pants. There can be no other reason why my pants have gotten tighter during this trip. That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it. 😉
