Addicted to Passions and Pulp
From the monthly archives:
Had our annual holiday gathering at Mac 24/7 in Waikiki. The restaurant feels kind of sterile with the layout, lighting, and uniforms. Food was okay, more novelty dishes but fun to see like my huge stack of Kona coffee moca pancakes.
Oogling the Club 939 calendar for 2008 was popular with everyone, girls and [...]

Can Apple’s stock actually hit $600 per share? Selling iPods, iPhones, and Macs can only go so far. But then you hear about this crazy patent Apple applied for. Consider this the equivalent to Disneyland’s FastPass service where participating customers can jump to the front of the line.

I didn’t know local store Don Quijote had multiple sizes of plastic carrying bags. I knew about the small clear bag and the now regular green bag. But did you see the huge a$$ bag they now have?

What do you think of when you hear about voodoo and movies?
How about Major League’s Pedro Cerrano making offerings to Jobu to banish fear out of his bats? How about a scare tactic used against Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset in The Deep? Or how about a convoluted plot of revenge in the [...]

Found the new yummy sounding 3 Musketeers Mint bar at Longs and needed to do a taste test. First off, I think 3 Musketeers is my favorite candy bar to eat. The silver wrapper is just bling-alicious, the bar looks huge and seems like a bargain, and to top it off, 3 Musketeers [...]
