We went to KBBQ for dinner tonight and remembered how at this place in Seoul we went to they provided a plastic bag to put your jackets and stuff in so they don’t smell and so this time we brought our own garbage bags.

Success!

Nothing like the TVB theme to remind you you’re home lol.

(I don’t know when my parents started watching TVB but they are turning into my grandparents. Odd to me because they emigrated in their teens but I guess nostalgia hits hard in your later years.)

In which I had to teach Alexander how to use an American gas pump.

(He’s been here almost 3 years but we had an electric, or we always went full service or I just did it)

Was craving a hot dog so decided to check out the hospital cafeteria where I get my allergy shots.

No hot dog but did try their $6 daily special (meatloaf plate).

Spoiler: clearly a $6 meatloaf plate from a hospital cafeteria (but $6! Cheaper than ikea meatballs!)

huh of course it's been two decades so things change (i don't even know what a "MEX" is) but some of these towns/villages on the all-stop train i've never even heard of before. like a whole new route.

(if you're curious about "-ingen" town names, see www.reddit.com/r/germany/co...)

Look we’re all PNW pals and there is zero rivalry, but overheard:

“Wow! Look at this! Isn’t this nice! This is nice!

Have you ever been to the SeaTac airport? That place is *a dump*!”

💅

Airport PSA (with street pricing policy you can’t go wrong, plus get food with a ramp view at Loyal Legion).

On the downside, they installed this giant ad where I normally stand so now I don’t know where to station myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trying a new-to-us sandwich shop* and I’m obsessed with the pricing and the vibe.

* I know the news cycle has moved on but this is in honor of sandwich guy

Speaking of, it is indeed time for my annual decorative Christmas tree forest! 🌲

An afternoon visit to our normal morning bakery.

I love how random Portland is.

I guess it’s better but why did they start putting search at the bottom lately *shakes fist at sky*
November 13, 2025 at 2:34 AM
I don’t have a beef with Liquid Glass but maybe I do now.

Do you know how long it took me to figure out how to search on the search page?

lol bahhh!!!

i checked both of mine and the options i have are min payment or statement balance. pfft.
November 12, 2025 at 2:34 PM
wow nice with that $642! i'm hoping my LAX-HKG will get that low. my graph is a bit messed up because i originally bought Y (award), ended up upgrading to W on 9/5, then on 10/23 canceled everything and bought W with cash.

A new Georgian restaurant opened about half a yr ago and we’re finally checking it out. It’s in a strip mall (next to a Crumbl lmfao) and prices are about 10-15% cheaper than our usual place (which is slightly fancier).

It’s fine, but I like our old place better. Lmfao those giant khinkali handles

On principle I still refuse to use Alexander’s European vacuum cleaner, even though it’s as cute as a button. 😤
November 7, 2025 at 11:06 PM
i don't know much about legos but $400?!?!?! might as well be 400 bars of gold-pressed latinum 😤

I’d like to explain this picture a bit — it was taken at 3:46 PM, right in mid-afternoon dip. When the Alaska banked flights come, though, phew it’s like a (relative) flood of people.

(This is a nice graph that we get that explains things)

Dang I thought the usual employee discount (combined with the airport’s street pricing policy) was a good deal but one of the pizza places has an employee deal now for $10 — 2 giant slices of pizza + soda + chips

(Pizza slices are shown stacked below)

😵‍💫😍
