Nordstrom Has Gelato!

,

I never knew that Nordstrom in Ala Moana has a gelato bar on the bottom floor. It’s by the exit to the shuttle area, next to the “intimates” section and kids shoes.



Funny thing is when they run out of a flavor, they run out. No more until a shipment comes later in the week. Chocolate and green tea was popular this week. We went for mint chocolate chip, azuki bean, and strawberry.


Tasty!

Crazy Beach Overcrowding

Not exactly sure what Asian country this is, but check out the overcrowding at the beaches. Madness! Would you go in that water?




Hide the Goods! Footlocker F&F Sale

Is it a coincidence or not? When Footlocker has a Friends & Family sale, all the good stuff doesn’t seem to be at the stores. Some weeks, there are a ton of great stuff at regular prices. But when the F&F kicks in with 30% off, all that great stuff mysteriously disappears.

Does Footlocker sell out of these goods before the F&F sale, or are these items pulled from the shelves so deals can’t be had? I wonder… but go find out yourself with a Footlocker F&F sale running July 24-27.

Alien Ninjas Coming?

,

I’ve been on the lookout for more about them mysterious Alien Ninjas seen in Hawaii but haven’t found much. They’re supposed to make an appearance at Comic-Con which is starting up this week.

Doing some Googling for the past few days has yielded nada. But today, the domain name alienninja.tv is showing some life. Before, this URL would time out. Now at least, there’s a blank directory listing perhaps indicating more to follow.

Can’t wait to see what secrets the Alien Ninjas hold.

Starbucks Is Not Jamba Juice

,

For the longest time, I thought Starbucks and Jamba Juice were conjoined twins. You usually see one right next to the other. That’s why I was confused to hear of Starbucks’ latest Vivanno fruit drinks. Why bother with a Jamba-like creation when the real deal was usually a few doors away?

I asked this question to a Starbucks employee and was quickly corrected that Starbucks is no longer part of the same company as Jamba Juice. They used to belong to the same owners but have gone separate ways a few years back. Hence the start of the juice wars.

Best Battle Cries

Wired.com has their top ten list of best battle cries. You know, when He-Man yells, “By the power of Greyskull … I have the powerrr!!!” That kind of thing.

The list is okay, but it’s missing some of my favorites like:

“Let’s show’em some thunder!” from the G.I. Joe animated series.

“Knuckle up!” from Matrix Revolutions as the sentinels raided Zion and the exo-skeleton armored humans defended the last free city.

“Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!” from Gladiator.

“Autobots! Roll out.” from the Transformers.

And the best of all is this “battle cry” which isn’t so much of a verbal cry. But when bad guys heard this, they knew a beat down was coming, and they’d end up as a pile of burnt out gears.

The WNBA Comes of Age

, ,

Whoa, a fight in the WNBA last night with three ejections! Players coming off the benches in defense, coaches trying to separate players. Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer, Michael Cooper involved?! Pistons versus the Lakers all over again.

The NBA is now definitely in the WNBA.
