SEARCH FOR A LUNCH TRUCK

Today we thought we'd go near downtown in search of two lunch trucks, one that sells Korean tacos, and one that has more Hawaiian type food, as I recall.  We had checked the location on Twitter, which I am apparently incompetent at, and the upshot of it was that we couldn't find them. 

While we were walking around the area, though, we came upon this place called INdesign center, or maybe it was the Hawaiian Design Center.  Whatever it was called, it was fabulous, and much of the stuff was fabulously expensive.  Some of it was altogether ridiculous, like the horse lamp, which gave the impression of a party that had really gotten out of hand.  For your amusement, some pictures.  The chair with the red top was $18,000.  (No, there are not too many zeros in that number.)  A chair that cost more than my car, maybe than my car and a harp.  I thought that since it was such a cool design, I might order one for Mike & Heather because the design was so cool, and it would really be a nice addition to their house.  And the leather upholstery will hold up well to baby barf.   My favorite was the recliner.  I actually liked that.  It was a mere $7000.  I forgot to check the price of the horse lamp.


Since we never found the food truck, we walked over to the Ala Moana mall so I could look for a pair of sandals (no luck) and have lunch.  We had some more fish tacos, which were different but as good as the Maui tacos.  Then as we were walking around, I made a mistake.  I was looking down at a band that was getting ready to play, as was another woman, who was walking around a pillar, and we ran into each other.  This hurt my damn arm so bad I almost fainted.  I suspect it wasn't the collision, we were both pretty soft, but I probably jerked my arm or something.  I'm sure the people standing around and watching my histrionics thought I was working on a lawsuit, but my god, it hurt.  I had stopped taking naprosyn, trying to see if I was over it or just having pain controlled.  Now I know.    Here I am with an icepack on my shoulder. 

One more picture, mostly for Tim and Lynda.  Is this a cute bird, or what? 




I'm going to start uploading a video of my favorite group that plays at the International marketplace.  We went over there last night to get chicken soup for John's cold, and they were playing.  I think they may play there about once a week.  Be interesting to see how long it takes to upload this 20-second video here.  At home, with my super-fast ATT DSL, it takes about an hour. So far, I'm working on my third attempt to upload.  The first two either went so long the computer turned off, or they were never working anyway.  Hard to tell with blogspot.  I give up.  Been trying for four hours and it's obviously not going to happen.
