I Am a Closet Swiftie?

, , , ,

I must be a closet fan of singer Taylor Swift. Otherwise, I don’t know how to explain this purchase of an autographed copy of the “in the trees” CD.

I mean I didn’t even think twice. Autographed, bonus songs, different covers, and supposedly limited supply (even though there’s a limit of 4 CDs per order). I do like the Folklore album so perhaps Taylor’s music spoke to me during these COVID times. Or maybe, just maybe, I have a weak mind.

Close But Not Quite…

Walking around Ala Moana, I spied these Crocs that looked suspiciously like the recently released Crocs collab with the Grateful Dead, Bad Bunny, and Justin Bieber. Here are the legitimate Crocs clogs.

Here’s what I saw at Famous Footwear and Nordstrom.

Tie-dye, yellow, and a white Crocs sans jibbitz were in store, but really, the appeal is those custom charms. That’s why all these Crocs collabs sold out so fast.

Better than the McD Travis Scott Meal?

, , ,

If more equals better then could this be “better” than the Travis Scott meal from McDonalds in terms of Calories?

Yes, that’s a typical chocolate muffin from Costco, and it weighs in at roughly 689 Calories. Now according to the McD app, this is the Calorie count for a default Travis Scott meal.

Featuring a quarter pounder with added bacon, medium fries, and a medium sprite, the meal tops out at 1280 Calories. So no, in this case, the Costco muffin is NOT better than the Travis Scott meal.

But compared to a lone Big Mac, an entire Costco muffin is mightier.

Temporary COVID Closures at Ala Moana

, , , , , ,

With Hawaii’s Stay at Home, Work from Home emergency order in place, only businesses categorized as Essential Activies remain open. So when visiting Ala Moana, it’s eerily empty with only food vendors and restaurants allowed to operate. Even then, many chose to stay closed.

The escalators were also shut down, assumedly to save on operations, maintenance, and cleaning.

Hoping these closures of the small businesses are only temporary. But the real prize of this dreary visit is the patbingsu from Jejubing Dessert Cafe. Recently opened during the height of COVID breakouts on Oahu, the cafe is still open for takeout and is well worth the drive and eat in the car.

This is the green tea regular size, but I think I’ll stick with the tiramisu. Mango is good albeit a little sweet, and you can’t go wrong with the kinako bingsu.

Cactus Jack at McD

,

Growing up, Travis Scott’s favorite meal at McDonalds was this:

  • Quarter Pounder with bacon and lettuce added
  • Sprite
  • Side of fries
  • BBQ dipping sauce

Starting this Tuesday, September 8, you too can experience Travis’ faves at McD. For one month, this $6 collab is gonna clog the drive thru lines and your arteries.
