Unexciting Stories - 8

Unexciting stories … sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone. Mundanity is always the primary focus. Let the unexcitement begin …

Last week, the monthly Target® Circle 360® “freebie,” a credit of $5 applied to any Threshold® merchandise, was used to acquire a nice stainless steel butter knife. In addition, a quaint Room Essentials® LED task lamp (made in Cambodia) was purchased for $8 (not on sale), also from Target®.

The butter knife has already been put to good use. The breakfast fare has been modified again. Now, Orowheat® whole grain wheat bread with organic chunky peanut butter is the main course. The new butter knife is used to spread the peanut butter on the bread. The peanut butter has only one ingredient … organic peanuts. Greek yogurt is still a breakfast staple.

The new task lamp will be used instead of the extremely bright fluorescent and incandescent lights installed in the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. The latter will come in handy whenever the MacBook Neo is unboxed and deployed.

The Beats® Studio Pro headphones also remain in its original box. There is now a desire to sell the latter in order to cut the loss rather than giving it away. The AirPods Pro 2 is obsolete, so it essentially has no value. The Up&Up® blood pressure monitor, however, has been given away to a fortunate recipient.

The weather in the islands has been marginal for over a week with gusty winds and sporadic precipitation. The trusty umbrella must be packed in the gym bag daily.

Every day, a new record is set for tourist arrivals. Waikiki is nearly at 100% occupancy. The majority of tourists are Asian. So, the reports of shortages of aviation fuel in Asia is obviously bullshit. There are also myriad Europeans. So, no aviation fuel shortage in Europe either.

Another no-holiday holiday has come and gone. The recognition of that holiday is now of no consequence. The military wing of empire currently only serves to protect the Zionist enclave in the Levant as evidenced by the Ramadan War. Thus, the Zionists and “Orange Bad Man” can observe and celebrate the non-event for themselves. So say we all.

On a side note, there have only been a handful of atrial fibrillation events since April 29th, all with a duration of only one or two seconds. No other metrics could be determined during those short intervals. Notched t-waves still occur sporadically with no indication of what the trigger could be. The modified diet and the increased cardio workouts at the gym could actually be the key to heart rehabilitation. No effort has been made to follow up on any of the lab test referrals from the Ohua Clinic.

11 Men 8 Sip

The one-hour cardio workouts at the gym have continued daily since its inception. So far, there have been no negative effects. In fact, the resulting physical fatigue has been quite welcome. Quality of sleep may have improved slightly as well. The regimen will continue, although a reduction on certain days is an option for recovery.

A chance encounter with neighbor Ignacio occurred on Thursday last week at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. A brief chat ensued in the entrance lobby. Ignacio was transported by ambulance to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. He’s lost 25 pounds in weight. The food passes right through him almost immediately. For some reason, the hospital discharged him after five hours. Ignacio is in an even worse state-of-mind since the previous encounter. He has already been given last rites by a priest to insure his entrance to “Heaven.”

The self-guided stress (and anxiety) management has been somewhat effective. The protocol is fairly simple. Any thought (e.g., death anxiety, intolerance for stupidity) is immediately mummified. No mindfulness steps are taken. Just mummification. Unfortunately, events such as the encounter with Ignacio take a real toll on the psyche.

Haircuts at the Institute of Hair Design have realized a 20% increase in cost for the service. Food prices at Target® are also increasing, with many food products now continuously out of stock. This is, of course, just the beginning.

The Ramadan War, which is slated to restart with a week or so, is responsible for the tremendous global financial dislocations. Inflation appears to remain controlled because the “markets” are “pricing in” the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Well, the Strait of Hormuz is not going to reopen and operate as it did before the Ramadan War. Those days are so over.

“Orange Bad Man” and his Zionist handlers have really “fucked up.” Once the Ramadan War restarts, the situation will be complete FUBAR. “Orange” has failed with immigration control, tariffs, and every other thought-free policy. Of course, maybe he didn’t fail insofar as the Great Re-shit (read: “Great Reset”) is concerned.

At this point in time, this Summer is when the “shit hits the fan.” Global strategic oil reserves should be irreversibly depleted. Food shortages will become prominent as fertilizer stocks deplete. Hyperinflation is highly probable along with increased social unrest. All that thanks to fucktard “Orange.” What a maroon!

Addendum: A moratorium has been invoked on divestment of personal possessions. Only the receipt redemption products (coffee mugs and reusable shopping bags) from the ABC Store will be gifted. In a few more months, nothing will be economically replaceable because of fucktard “Orange.”

Cinco de Mayo 2026

No celebration. No cerveza. No fun. That’s Cinco de Mayo 2026 in a “nutshell.” The big news, though, is that the full deployment of Apple® Pay has been successful. All charge transactions are accomplished with the Wallet “app.“ The iPhone 16 Pro is now indispensable. The new credit card arrived on Monday, but it will never leave the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki.

The morning loitering sessions in the Makai Market in Ala Moana Center have been completely suspended ever since the theft of the credit card. Coupled with the abbreviated afternoon outings to the International Marketplace, that means more time is spent in total isolation in the mausoleum.

The new focus on the cardio portion of the gym workouts has been somewhat successful. On Sunday, a new milestone was reached … one hour on the elliptical machine. During the first 30 minutes, the incline was set to the default. During the second half, the incline was raised to two notches below maximum. Resistance is still being cautiously keep at about 75 percent of previous levels. Cardio rehabilitation will continue. Weight workouts remain the same.

The Watch Series 9 has been discovered to not track heart rate during the cardio workouts on the elliptical machine, likely because of the exaggerated arm movements. Most likely, the Fitness “app” must be enabled (which is unlikely to occur).

Salads from the ABC Store have become a mainstay for dinners (when the 20% expiry discount is available). Previously, a Healthy Choice® Power Bowl frozen meal would supplement the salad. To cut expenses, the latter will no longer apply. The salad should be sufficient. The receipts from the ABC Store have been redeemed for coffee mugs and reusable plastic shopping bags, which will ultimately be given away as gifts.

Psyllium is still being taken as a fiber supplement. Ultima Replenisher® is consumed in the morning, prior to breakfast, to hydrate and maintain electrolytes.

Sleep quality continues to be marginal. Wakings are still frequent with elaborate, albeit bizarre, dreams occurring prior to the wakings. The sleep schedule has been altered. Early morning risings (around 6am) have moved sleep time to commence about 30 minutes earlier the night prior.

Listening to music has made a comeback during the lull in the Ramadan War. The AirPods Pro 2 are being deployed exclusively. The goal is to completely degrade the batteries so the device can be recycled. So far, though, after two years of ownership, battery degradation has been near zero.

Listening to music has been limited to about one hour per session. Apparently, sufferers of tinnitus should limit earbuds and headphones sound exposure to prevent further hearing damage. The “ringing” in the ears is already pretty bad.

The MacBook Neo and Beats® Studio Pro headphones still remain in their original boxes. The final disposition of both the former and latter is unknown given the likely prospect of “keeling over” at any moment.

Addendum: Be sure to download and read the entire essential Fascist library! The whole Fascist plan is right there in the open. One new document added.
