A Sign of Old Age: Disliking Justin Bieber

,

Another sign of (my) old age, I dislike Justin Bieber, for no real reason either.  Just because he’s (very) young, popular on iTunes, and his newest CD is called My World 2.0.  At 16 years of age, how much of the world has young Mr. Bieber experienced?  Enough to have a 2.0 version obviously.

Yes, I am getting old.

Here’s a listen to Justin if you’re interested.

How Was Your Tsunami Day?

, ,

So how did your tsunami warning day go? Lively is my say. Luckily, nothing significant occurred for Hawaii but still the day was filled with anticipation as the first projected wave was to hit the islands. Our familu was glued to the television news all morning, watching the traffic cams and hearing the typical outrageous stories that accompany these types of events.

While we didn’t have to venture out of the house, the Kailua area had its share of those getting supplies and gas. We had water and batteries from a recent run to Costco and yes, we even had a hand powered radio from a Christmas grab bag (I think). So it was a wait and see for most of the day. Had there been no tsunami warning, I would have been at Unconferenz 2010.

I wonder what the reaction on Oahu would have been if there were a sizable tsunami hitting Hilo? Sure, there’s nothing you could do at that point, but I do wonder what pandemonium would have ensued. Fortunately, we won’t know.

One bright spot of the day was a rare win for the UH Men’s Basketball team. Already in the cellar of the WAC, UH beat Nevada who’s near the top of the WAC standings. Must be all the excitement and adrenaline from the day carried over to the Bows’ performance.

How did your day go?

Sweet of the Day: Green Tea Kit Kat

,

Today’s sweet of the day is a green tea Kit Kat.  It’s bizarrely green like the tea and really does taste like green tea ice cream.  Interesting taste, but just not my palette.

Thanks to @abaggy for this treat.
