Bonus Lana Del Rey
No matter what you think of Lana Del Rey’s musical origin, I do like her musical style. I’ve been binging on her tunes for some time now, and look at this. Four unreleased tracks have surfaced on the web. Bonus!

Two Voice Tuesday
On Island 98.5, Tuesday mornings are designated as Two Voice Tuesdays where Gregg Hammer mashes up two impersonations. You call in with two personalities, and Sir Hammer does his impromptu magic. This past Tuesday, you could have heard a Samoan Linda Lingle, a Micronesian Frank Delima, a Samoan Hitler, Larry Price mixed with Al Sharpton, and more. Did you catch it? If so, take a listen!
Gregg needs to un-Japanese his Chinese impersonation though. Wonder what a Chinese Bubba Fujimoto would sound like? 🙂
Technical Difficulties Kind of Week
It’s been a “technical difficulties kind of week” around here. At work, we’re fighting problems dealing with new software and hardware installations. I’m trying to figure out why my Mac keeps disconnecting from the wireless network. But it seems these tech difficulties aren’t exclusive. While filling up gas at Sam’s Club this morning, each pump displayed this sign.
I had no problem though as the pump quickly filled the tank and took my $$$. Besides potential technical difficulties, this sign has some grammatical difficulties.
“Doritos Jacked Are Not Doritos”
That’s what I thought when I chomped into my first taste of the new Doritos Jacked. I saw these at Safeway and bought them without reading the package since I love me my Doritos. I thought the Jacked was in reference to a pepper jack flavor. But nooo. This Jacked variety of Doritos is physically bigger than regular Doritos and thicker as well.
For me, this “biggerness” of the Jacked threw off the distinct Doritos experience. I thought I was eating generic tortilla chips with some Doritos-like flavoring. It just didn’t feel like I was eating Doritos. Too thick, too crunchy, and the flavor doesn’t carry through the entire chip. I do like the heat of the Smoky Chipotle BBQ flavor though.
The Impulsive Buy has a better review of Doritos Jacked, but I won’t be buying these again.

Ala Moana in the Morning
You saw what Pearlridge looked like in the morning. How about Ala Moana on a weekday morning right around 8 am.
A nice, leisurely walk before class started in the morning.
Looking Up LEGO Books
Never thought of LEGO as something beyond a toy for creativity, so I’m kinda interested to see what books about LEGO are about. Although a little dated, The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide
I’m looking at The LEGO Book
Admiring the Nike Air Max Express
Nike’s new Air Max Express is a great combination of old and new stylings. Love the vintage Air Max logo and incorporating a velcro strap is always a plus. These colorways are crazy, but they work. The orange grey is my favorite but the black and green is definitely the most wearable.
Of course, these would blend in perfectly at Disneyland…
Confirming My Suspicions about Corolla Drivers
I knew it! This just confirms my suspicions about those who drive Toyota Corollas.
I always thought Corolla drivers were sneakily a freaky bunch. 😉
Something and Sounds at Starbucks
Picked up Draw Something and SoundHound from Starbucks today. These are the weekly Pick of the Week freebies, and as an added bonus, the Starbucks treat receipts are back. Buy a drink in the AM and get any grande iced drink for 2-bucks after 2 PM. That’s any drink including a custom creation with extra shots.
From Super Geeks to Internet Sweepstakes
The closed Super Geeks business location didn’t remain vacant for long.
From a computer and tech shop, it’s now an Internet Sweepstakes location. Are these Internet sweepstakes games legal or not? To be determined. But never mind that. Check out the home in the left edge of the picture. Just how many photovoltaic solar panels are there?
