I will absolutely go to a Mariners game just to have nachos in a ferry.

I have to prep for a colonoscopy in a few days and I am actually kinda sad that I don’t have a proper jello mold.

I joined that league a couple of years ago, and ruptured my Achilles tendon on the first day.

It’s so good! I am listening to the audiobook again.

The downtown one closed in 2020, but I feel like House of Wong has been there since way before that.

I went to that Harpo's all the time I loved their rectangular slices of pizza with precisely four pieces of pepperoni on them. I also went to the Hee Hing before that. I'm old.

I would love it if Hawaii was 2 hours behind Pacific Time all year long, but seriously, let's pick one and just go with it.

Same. We only ran the dishwasher on the Big Meal Holidays until it stopped working altogether and then it was just a drying rack. I’m pretty sure we had to replace it when trying to sell that house.

I love your glasses!

LOL. We are all twelve.

Bad Bunny with special appearance by Ricky Martin was everything I don’t know I was wishing for last year.

Also, I don’t even know what a 31g needle looks like. I draw with 18g and inject with 20g.

Honestly, I only have to give myself an injection once a month, and I had so many issues with pharmacies not having the right ones that I just bought in bulk. It’s not ideal, but now the reason I don’t do it on schedule is my own fault and not because I don’t have the right equipment.

I went to so many Menudo concerts in the 80s. My fave was Ray Reyes, but people are most interested to hear about me seeing Ricky Martin perform when he was nine.

I frequently cross the intersection of University and King/Beretania. On almost every occasion, no matter what direction, there are people still making left turns while the signal is giving me the right of way. The drivers know they're running the red light, but they just don't care.

Oh man, that sucks. I went to an all girls Catholic school and went to a reunion last summer and my classmates were super accepting of my queer ass and my trans wife.

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Anyone that rails against gender affirming care should be denied birth control, boner pills, hair loss treatments, and a whole host of other things.

Yeah, I am crossing all available appendages on your behalf that these shenanigans get figured out.

I got similar from UWMC this summer so I went and switched my provider and then like 6 weeks later, they were in network again and I’d done a bunch of work for nothing.

I swear, every time. I never learn my lesson.

A bowl of chicken long rice, a dish that is usually served at luaus.

I made chicken long rice soup, except I always forget and add more noodles than necessary so it didn’t stay a soup past the first bowl. Those cellophane noodles absorb liquid like crazy.

With a master's degree in English, I could easily say Beowulf or Chaucer, but it's actually this poem written by Robert Louis Stevenson for Princess Kaiulani as she was leaving Hawaii to study in England.

People in my neighborhood actually trapped a bunch of chickens and then released them on another part of the island and I’m like, how does that help, exactly?

Yeah, I see that kind of review all of the time. Basically, we went to a rural area and were surprised that there was so much nature.

And yeah, Iniki was the hurricane that caused the boom of feral chickens on Oahu. Kauai had them much earlier.

I don’t mind them because they eat bugs. Lots of people complain about them crowing at all hours, but I find the college kids driving their modified to be louder mopeds way more annoying.

So many feral chickens in Honolulu too.
