My mom got new anthurium tables. Well, they’re new to her. Guy sold them to her for 20 each. They go for about 200 each. She’s quite happy with them so she sent me a video so I could see them. So… my mom’s tables.
And if you turn up the volume, you can hear her humming to herself. This is a bad habit we both have. I also sometimes start singing La la la to myself in outbursts. Don’t ask. It just is.
She thought she kept hearing fireworks and couldn’t sleep, so we sang to keep her mind preoccupied. In the end, nothing competes with fireworks.
Mothers.
My mother has an interesting perspective of me not living in Hawai’i. To her, this means I instantly have lost my cultural identity and connections. Somehow, I am instantly absorbed into the homogenized American way of doing things (I think) and no longer can do or eat things that are my cultural base.
It’s a very interesting thing to encounter. I’ve basically become Cole.
Apparently I can’t cook and am totally dependent on packaged foods. I also eat a lot of beef. Roast beef or hamburger. I’m not sure which. She’d been surprised I discuss fish.
It’s taken her a few decades but it’s sunk in to her that no, I’m still mostly a hapa-mixed poi dog person who just happens to live someplace that is more comfortable to me… mentally. And well, with roads long enough for me to drive for hours if I want to.
This seems to perplex her sometimes. Ever once in a while it resurfaces and I get all… what the hell are you talking about? Come on, woman! We have a discussion about the types of Spam! Get with it. Sighs. Mom. Really?
Although I do have a kick ass sure fire way to do an oven roast.

Oh the irony. *grins*
Colour always fascinates me. Now my favourite colour is black. Seriously. I love black. The… ink of it.
This is an “established” colour preference test. Have a go at it.

Madrox you are simply awesome 😀
Whiskey and Wry is in the running!
The white shirts are the “value” shirt. These suckers run large. Trust me on this. I wanted them a little roomy so I could just kind of kick around in them but damn. They’re huge.
The colours are great. The messenger bag fits my Toshiba 17″ laptop. Very sturdy and quite nice. The DK logo could be a bit bigger on the white shirt but I think that’s cause it’s so damned wide. 😀
