Pageant at Manoa Valley Theatre
Saturday night, we were fortunate to have some friends give us tickets to Pageant at the Manoa Valley Theatre (http://www.manoavalleytheatre.com/NowPlaying/Pageant.htm) (Thanks Dave and Theresa!!!) It was a fabulous experience. Basicly a spoof of a beauty pageant where all of the contestants (Miss Bible Belt, Miss Deep South, Miss Great Plains, Miss Texas, Miss Industrial Northeast,…
Hawaiian Sunshine Nursery
Yesterday was another fine day on Oahu. Mink and I decided to go visit our friend Conrad who works at Hawaiian Sunshine Nursery in Waimanalo. We’ve been getting into tropical plants lately and I’ve started a small kine garden in our yard, so it was a real treat to have Conrad show us around the…
Ohina Short Film Showcase 2006
Last night, we went to the Doris Duke Theatre and checked out the 2006 Ohina Short Film Showcase It was fun. There were some great films, a few pointless ‘huh’ films, and one absolutely terrible Christain animation. The Ohina Short Film Showcase will be showing again today at 1pm, 3pm, and 7pm. Check it out…
Chop sui in Kailua
Mink Hippie and I have been trying to eat in every restaurant in Kailua. Not long ago we decided to focus on the chop suey joints. For an interesting background on Chop Suey click here to explore this unique Chinese American cuisine. It’s not Chinese food… The generally accepted wisdom on chop suey is that…
Italian Food in Kailua

Peppino’s Italian Food-(23 Hoolai St, ph (808)262-5833) My personal favorite. Best Pizza in the Pacific. Low key, tasty, bring your own wine, won’t break any budget….

Broken wine bottles, trashed boats…1500 year old Byzantine Port is almost Modern
That’s Istanbul not Constantinople…looks like my yahoo email is working again. Now that it has also been completely excavated…stick to chris@fukn.us cd ISTANBUL, Turkey – It seems a typical scene of urban decay: abandoned buildings, crumbling walls, trash and broken wine bottles. Yet it’s more than 1,500 years old. Engineers uncovered these ruins of an…
Misyar Very Much
This is also referred to as ‘travellers marriage’. Personally it sounds like it can work out pretty well. The abuse thing is universal. I knew plenty of guys that got married when I was in the service. Probably half of them got married for the extra cash and the freedom to live off base or…
No Reservations: The Shwarma and Shrapnel Episode
As you’ve probably heard, Israel bombed the bejesus out of the airport in Beirut, stranding a bunch of tourists (mostly Arabs) in Lebanon. Turns out that Tony Bourdain (chef, TV ‘personality’ and mystery writer) is also stuck there…. [Thanks, MeFi.] “we are currently shooting an episode of NR in Lebanon–and it should be video gold….
