There's a cutesy article in the Seattle Times today about the Hawaiian population in the Seattle area. I had a rambling diatribe about how it makes people from Hawaii seem totally alien, but then I realized that it's just an article in the Living section, and doesn't puport to be actual news. It's a human interest piece, and as such is perfectly fine.

Here's one of the sentences that made my head hurt. Let's see if you can determine why: "And the fans — in muumuus, leis and Hawaiian shirts — were hugging, screaming and waving hang-tens."

(This is secondary, but it's not called a hang-ten, it's a shaka sign, and the word has okinas in it, so it's mu'umu'u, and pronounced closer to moo-oo moo-oo than the way most people pronounce it, which is moo-moo.)

The print article has a section listing Hawaiian restaurants and stores (online, you have to click the A taste of the islands link) and of course mentions Kona Kitchen. I'm happy to see them get press, but I don't want them to get too much, because then they'll get too crowded, and we can't have that happening. Remember, folks, it's all about me.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done. I am going home, taking a hot bath and going to bed early. After playing some Guitar Hero, of course. I unlocked War Pigs last night, and I think I can get through a few more songs tonight to unlock whatever comes next.
