...album.
Get a Ben Rector album!!!
Or give a Ben Rector album!
Or if you get a iTunes gift card or Amazon MP3 gift card, consider getting a Ben Rector album.
I can't tell you how much I love his music. Here's some of his songs. Hope you love it...and then buy it.
The Kill
You & Me
I hear he's better live...so either one day I'll make it to one of his shows OR maybe one day he'll make it to Hawaii!
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Gifts? how 'bout a HASHI
Well, as you know...if you live in Hawaii or have lived here, the plate lunch is one of the main types of staples here in the islands. It comes in a Styrofoam container with plastic utensils or wooden chopsticks. In the container we have a variety of meat/chicken/battered fish/fried shrimp, rice and mac salad. After we eat the local goodness, we just trash the whole thing...styrofoam and plastic.
Well, recently I've been becoming more aware how bad all that stuff is for the environment (I know, I'm really late to this party)...and not only that, but we are running out of places to put it (our trash). I know that second one is kinda scary. I never thought about running out of a place to put trash. I just thought it went to the dump and then the dump ate it or something like that...I dunno. Like I said, just never thought of that.
So one small thing we can do...or we can get this Christmas for each other is...
...a HASHI
...or chopstick
...actually A PAIR OF CHOPSTICKS!!!
Now I know that this might not seem like a lot and maybe it isn't. But it's a start. It's a step in the right direction. Plus you never know how great the trickle down effect might be! You know, like if we all get our own hashi, then all the L&L's won't have to keep purchasing disposable ones...THEN maybe plate lunches would get cheaper?!?!?! I know it's farfetched, but still...you never know.
Anyway, the beautiful hashi that you see pictured above, I found on amazon...but said you can only get it from an external site. Can you guess how much it is? Find out here.
Did you check?!? I know...they are THAT EXPENSIVE. Plus did you see they were on sale? Wow.
Thanks to Kanu Hawaii for doing such great work in creating awareness and getting the word out.
Okay, that's all for now.
Oh and if you can buy local, buy local and support local people. If cannot, then cannot.
Okay, now I'm done.
See ya.

| These 9 3/4" Black Wood Japanese Chopsticks (51314CS) have a beautiful black finish and a red lacquer tip that gives them a special Japanese accent with ties to the Japanese flag. Unlike Chinese chopsticks, which typically are made of unfinished wood, these lacquered chopsticks taper to a sharper, pointier end. The black and red design can match a variety of decors, atmospheres and tabletop settings, but are particularly suited to a modern restaurant with a contemporary design. |

Looking for gift ideas? HELLO SOMEBODY
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be blogging a few gift ideas.
Just some things that have caught my attention.
First up...HELLO SOMEBODY
Thinking about buying shirts, jackets, or a tank top for gifts? HELLO SOMEBODY has that...here.
How 'bout a watch? Or watches? HELLO SOMEBODY...right here & here.
HELLO SOMEBODY, music? here
Beanie, scarf, combo packs (pink, black)? <---there, there, & there (& there).
HELLO SOMEBODY has a lot of great products.
BUT the best part of this company is that when we make a purchase...we are taking part in things like this:
Hello Somebody and Light The Streets from Hello Somebody on Vimeo.
Earlier in November, I ordered a jacket/tank top/watch combo pack and it came pretty quickly...and I live in Hawaii! I feel like it came within a week. Another thing that I think was cool...my address was handwritten on the box my stuff was shipped in. I just like that small business-personal touch-feel that it conveyed.
Anyway, that's that. If you have any questions...umm check out the website at:
hello-somebody.com
There's a lot more stories, pictures, videos, and information there.
Any Christmas gift suggestions for me?
Alrighty...until next time!
