2026 May 16 | moths, Mortal Kombat 2 movie, new armoire



Nice sunset.



I ordered a new mouse from Amazon, but didn't notice I had used our old address until after I ordered. I tried to have USPS change the address, but they couldn't.



I also tried to put a note in the Amazon delivery instructions.



But that didn't work, and my mouse was delivered to our old address. I'll contact the condo manager and see if I can get them to send it to me.



Three different colors of tomatoes.



It looks like they're fogging this entire condo complex.



Aw, this little guy lost his tail.



I got my Alaska points back from the guy booking a flight.



Alaska doesn't have the standard 2FA that everyone else does, so instead they lock the ability to use your points unless you call them and give them your PIN, then you can use them for a few hours.



Signing up for the Kamaaina experience at the Mauka Kea telescopes.



There are only 20 spaces a month, and they go quickly. It's already down to 11.



We both got a spot.



Now 4 spaces 2 minutes later.



And no spaces 3 minutes later.



A new monk seal pup has shown up in Honolulu.



He's very cute.



The second of the Mortal Kombat movie remakes is coming out, so we better watch the original as a refresher.



The opening cinematic with the fire and the Techno Syndrome song was amazing.



To Keauhou Cinemas to watch the new one.



It was fairly busy.



Making fresh hot dogs.



Dinner and snacks.



The opening cinematic wasn't as good as the original, but I enjoyed the rest of the movie, much more than the first remake.



There are many months this time of year on Big Island.



Ogii caught a bunch and put them in a Ziploc.



These were up near the ceiling.



So I climbed up to catch them.



Got them.



Ogii letting them go outside.



I was going to send a package, but the post office was closed. While I was about to walk away, someone reminded me I can use the kiosk. That worked.



A bright orange truck is great for advertising.



It's pouring rain.



A little gecko with a fat tail.



Wagyu ribeye steaks at Safeway.



Creamy coconut Dr. Pepper.



Ogii preparing coconut.



And me preparing the steaks.



All done.



Ready to eat.



A gecko peeking out from behind the fridge.



Sheep.



The myna birds here are very cocky.



They're not scared of the sheep, and they'll just barely move out of the way when you're driving. I'm always scared I'm going to hit one.



Nice sunset.



With rain showers to the side.



There are a ton of months on Big Island in May.



They're all over the window in the morning.



Thankfully the geckos like to eat them.



Almost there.



Got one.



The birds eat them, too.



You can collect these items during the mountain mini-game in Wordscapes. It says the set is 34% done, but that's bad math, because to get the top row icons, you have to go all the way to the top of the mountain, which is very expensive, and even then you only get a 25% chance of getting an icon. So the 34% should really be 0%, as we never go to the top of the mountain.



Colorful sunset.



I took the RAV4 in to get a replacement part. However, they didn't have it, so the entire appointment was a waste.



So I had to order it, and then they'll have it next time. They have a new AI system making appointments, and it didn't check to see if the part was in stock before I made the appointment. I bet a human would have caught that.



So many different power strips at Walmart.



I also bought a mini wet vac there.



$5 Fridays at Safeway.



Also for salmon.



I like totaling everything up...



... and only afterwards typing in my customer number, so I can see all of the prices drop at once.



A gecko peeking out from behind this wall hanging.



Ogii had re-ordered her Global Entry card because it never came, even though tracking said it was delivered. It must have ended up in someone else's mailbox who doesn't check their mail often, because it was taped to our door today.



We already ordered a new one, though, so it's too late for this one.



We had some student massages; me first.



Then I picked up food at Food Truck Friday while Ogii was getting massages.



From Gallery Cuisine this time.



Good food.



The main annoying issue about the moths is they leave stuff all over the window.



That's a good fortune.



The World cruise ship is here.



It's not on the list of ships, though.



Ah, it's privately owned.



And people live on it full-time, not cheaply.



Yoga.



We're normally over on the left, but the sun was coming up over there, so we moved here.



Ogii stretching.



Palm trees reflected in her sunglasses.



The sun is even coming over to here.



Some crabs by the shore.



Boat races.



A fun license plate.



Japanese-styled car.



These yellow flowers are blooming on trees all over.



No carnitas today.



But tamales.



They were also very good.



Rewatching Ted Lasso before the new season. It's so good.



The armoir Ogii ordered arrived. Now time to put it together.



Ogii screwing on the top.



Some sides.



Getting closer.



This screw is sticking out.



And I can't screw it in or out. At least I can turn it out with a pliers.



Ah, it's stripped. Hopefully it will stand up OK without this one.



Almost there.



All done after the doors are put on.



And filled.
