A vacation day allowing me the time I needed. 3. A local coworking space welcoming us to host two events in their office. Finding a spot is stressful every year. 000

scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Should get to bed, but first some gratitude. Three things I'm grateful for, 2:21 a.m., Monday, Sept. 21. 1. So pleased with my NYC Midnight rhyming story challenge entry. Would love to share but have to wait about 6 weeks I think. 2. Bartender tonight comped one of my drinks. :) 3. Banana bread. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We’re finally on Mastodon! Let’s follow each other there as the Fediverse verrrrry slowly moves toward Last Platform Standing status. Content there will pretty much be the same as here, but cooler because it’s not part of (waves hands vaguely in the air) all THIS. 🙃 mastodon.social/@honolulusil... 000
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Two years ago, I received third honorable mention in the @nycmidnight.bsky.social Rhyming Story Challenge's final round. That's three spots out of the money. Last year, I got the deadline wrong and was 24 hours late for submission. :( Just submitted this year's first-round entry, 3.5 hours early 111
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Three things I'm grateful for. Tuesday night, 12:11 a.m. 1. A day off from work Wednesday. 2. An excellent new episode of Ted Lasso. 3. Leftover curry for dinner. 000

scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Three things I'm grateful for. September 11, 11:21 p.m. 1. Finished The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was sweet and delightful. 2. Productive at work today. Helped my team move some big projects a few spaces along the board. 3. Big progress on planning for the event formerly known as NaNoWriMo. 001
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Woo. 13:31 on the Saturday NYT xword. That's pretty speedy for me. 000
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Three things I'm grateful for, Friday September 11 at 12:29 a.m. 1. A fun @silentbookclubhnl.bsky.social meetup.

scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I don't know what's going on, but I keep breaking the forks and spoons I get at takeout (and ice cream!) places lately. Usually I just keep using the shortened, broken utensil, but once I broke a spoon in my ice cream a second time. It's getting embarrassing. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The breakfast spot I stopped at had like 10 bros waiting to place their orders and I didn't have the patience for that today, so I took my laptop for a working breakfast to a McD's I very seldom visit. Concrete Blonde's "Joey" was playing on the restaurant's system. A sign I made a good choice. 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 22/08/2026When I was in elementary school, maybe fourth grade, we had a copy of this book in the classroom. It was great, as Dennis the Menace usually was at that age in those days. I didn't know that word "nuisance," or if I did I didn't recognize it in writing. 100
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for Monday night, August 17. 1. The governor shut down all state business, and while I don't work for the state, my employer works with the state, so we had an unexpected day off. I needed it. 2. I caught up on some nagging, long-procrastinated tasks. 3. The Libby app. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for (late) Sunday night, August 17. 1. My family and our home made it through the storm with no disruptions or damage. 2. Actively reading 3 good books. Stephen King's The Stand. TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea. Phil Villapiano's Just Tackle, Baby! 3. My CPAP. 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for, Friday night August 14. 1. I have had a cup of coffee at a different, new-to-me place nine times in two weeks, and today I finally had a cup that's my style. Not fruity, very slightly acidic, notes of maple and chocolate. Delightful! 2. Pearl City Public Library. 120
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Crappy day at work calls for a gratitude check before bed, Wednesday night August 12. Three things I'm grateful for. 1. One friend who indulged my silly text messages tonight as I decompressed and one who sent me a couple of Bible verses unsolicited. 2. Spicy Kewpie Mayonnaise. 120
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Three things I'm thankful for Monday night, August 10. 1. My mom pushes through her dementia sometimes and cracks me up with her still-sharp sense of humor. <3 2. Squaredle, a daily online Spelling-Bee-type game I've loved for three years. 3. Working from home on Mondays. 000
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for on Thursday morning, August 6. 1. My boss going on a trip for two weeks. 2. Coworkers who are excellent at what they do, and who make me better at what I do. 3. Like most of us, I have mixed feelings about Amazon, but my Kindle has been a life-changer. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for on Wednesday morning, August 5. 1. New glasses! Kaiser sends them in the mail now, so I can't wear mine until I take them in for adjustments. I'm an Asian nose in a Caucasian nose world. 2. Keto bread. 3. Electric fans. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Three things I'm grateful for Saturday night, 8-1-26. 1. Went to a local bar for the first time and the very cute bartender recognized me from my usual Sunday night bar (I didn't recognize her because I try not to ogle the cute bartenders). She even asked, "What are you reading tonight?" 110
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Ugh not my best weekend for the NYT xword. DNFed Saturday -- that whole southeast corner destroyed me. 32:39 Sunday, which for me isn't too bad (I'm better at Saturday than Sunday, usually) but it was a real struggle. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I really like how challenging this daily word game is. I scored 459 points in Pears today! ⭐️ ⭐️ 🍐 ⭐️ 🍐 🍐 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ slate.com/games/pearsslate.comSlate Pears Game 351: Jul. 31, 2026Today's puzzle has 10 pears. 000
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Three things I'm grateful for this evening, 7/29. 1. The owners and staff at Proof Social Club in Honolulu for hosting Honolulu Silent Book Club (which I organize). They're the best. 2. For all its downsides, the ability to watch my favorite shows (like Ted Lasso) whenever I want. S2E12 right now. 110
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 24/07/202624:26. Friday NYT xword. That was a difficult Friday! 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Thursday NYT xword in 25:25. That was a slog I did not enjoy, but whatever. Somehow, a clean solve with no errors even though I was not at all confident about my answers even upon completion. 8 minutes slower than my Thursday average! :| 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 04/07/2026It's been a few months since I've done the NYT xword, so I'm fairly pleased with 19:17 on today's Saturday puzzle. 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Ohh July is a three-paycheck month. It’s like a bonus check even though it totally isn’t. 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I keep forgetting how much I love this album. It’s just gorgeous. The Wake of Magellan by Savatage. This is the band who had also become the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and you can hear and feel it all the way through. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wak...en.wikipedia.orgThe Wake of Magellan - Wikipedia 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I really wish they'd let me take one or two days a week for coming in at 1 and working until 10. The writing part of my brain (and therefore the main part of my job) doesn't really get going until it gets dark outside. 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Read through chapter 1 of Shawn "Speedy" Lopez's _Local Unrest_. So far my acquainted-with count is 1: @garychun.bsky.social has already made an appearance. :) 130

scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 07/02/2026I'm somehow entered in three writing challenges this weekend. The Writing Battle 1000 is due Saturday at 5p Hawaii time. Round 2 of the NYC Midnight 250 is due at 10p tomorrow. And I'm doing FAWM. This is insane. #writingbattle #nycmidnight250 #fawm 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Just got an email from Amazon saying palm authentication is ending in June. This disappoints me because I loved the convenience, but it's also a relief because I guess that wasn't the Mark of the Beast. It could have been! 010
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 17/11/2025This week's NYT xword times. Monday 4:58 Tuesday 8:14 Wednesday 10:41 (odd puzzle) Thursday 20:54 (difficult!) Friday 15:10 (woo) Saturday 15:02 (surprisingly easy) Sunday 26:07 (fun) 030
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Rewatched the latest South Park episode. It wasn't as biting as the rest of this season, but I was also distracted Wednesday night (and extremely tired). This time I picked up a few more jokes and continued to laugh at the depiction of JD Vance as Tattoo from Fantasy Island. A good watch, again. 020
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Sarah McLachlan's performance of "Better Broken" on Kimmel Tuesday night was soooo much better than the album version. On Kimmel, she performed solo with just a piano. The album track is backed (bafflingly) by a weird electronic drum loop that serves the song not at all. 100
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Could we please not discover radioactive shrimp at Walmart on nights when Colbert is dark? 100
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 19/08/2025_Cover Yo' Azz!_ is the new covers album from Cowboy Mouth. While it's missing the energy of Mouth's best studio releases, it's as heartfelt and uplifting as all their work. Highlight is the closer, a Hootie and the Blowfish tune I'd never heard, "City by a River." www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRI7...youtube.com 000
scrivener @scrivener.bsky.social · 28/06/2025okay don't think poorly of me, but i have like $90 in flex money to burn before june 30 and i've considered manifesting the 365 days i wish to have by spending it all on condoms. i'm joking, but also not really. :s 120
