Just Tacos is Just Okay
A new Just Tacos opened up near work so I gave it a try. Eh, just okay. Nothing fancy, nothing great, just okay. I wasn’t in the mood for a belly busting lunch so I got the two tacos plate. The “two” taco tortillas overlap so really, it’s like one extended soft taco. See for yourself.
Cost was $5 and I was warned advised that the dish is prepared plain so I’d need to hit the spice bar to give it some kick.
Even though the meal looked small, I was full. Would I go back again? Probably not.

The Weekend in Pics – Baby Emporium, Mana Bu’s, Whole Foods
Pictures from the weekend. Checked out new infant car seats at the expanded Baby Emporium.
Went to Mana Bu’s for lunch. By the time we got there, they were pretty much wiped out, but we had to get something after reading this detailed review.
Parking is atrocious. The white rice musubis were already gone, and when things go, you’re pretty much out of luck.
The 10 Grains musubis weren’t too bad.
Lastly, off to the recently opened Whole Food Market in Kahala Mall. Was crowded(!) with umm, characters. Some interesting types shop at this healthier marketplace. I shoulda stuck with Starbucks coffee which is right across the way. The iced mocha from the Allegro coffee bar needed some help.
Pictures in a slide show format.
Hope you had a great weekend in Hawaii!

Facebook Frenzy
My activity on Facebook’s been picking up recently with the addition of a bunch of classmates. Seems like more and more of us are popping up on Facebook, the old fart’s MySpace.
Been catching up with the lives of classmates by snooping around their FB profiles. Interesting, fun, but time consuming. I need to chillax a bit on adding more FB friends.
Good thing Facebook is blocked at work… um, sorta…
A Twilight-ish Weekend
Been reading/listening to the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer a little too much, and it’s imagery is getting stuck in my head. Did you notice the bad weather this weekend? The rain, the gloom, the dark skies? Sounds like Forks, Washington to me.
And today (or is it tomorrow, but today in China?) is the Moon Festival with a full moon out. Book 2, New Moon anyone?
See, too much Twilight.

Following Myself
Hey, it worked! After blogging a post fawning for the Followers gadget, guess what became available today? I added in Google’s latest gadget, Followers, that shows fans of your blog.
Right now, I’m the only one following myself, but feel free to follow Pulpconnection. Look in the sidebar between Labels and Powered By.
Surfah Slippah No Match for Centipede
The lesson to be learned here is that those cheapy Surfah slippahs are no match for a centipede even a smallish one. Wheeling out the trash can in front of the house, there was a small centipede slithering along. With kids in the household, I figured better be safe than sorry and attempted to step on the centipede (sorry Tabasco Man). One squash from the flimsy, mushy Surfah slippah did nothing but aggravate the centipede.
I didn’t get a good second step in and got stung (or is it bitten?) by this angry insect. Dang, it still hurts hours later.

Sea Life Park Kamaaina Special
Throughout this Labor Day weekend, Sea Life Park has a kamaaina special of $10 per adult. Normal admission is $30 so this is a great deal.
Get there early, use sunscreen, and say hi to Gizmo, the baby turtle for me!
Morning Brew Renovated
One of the few locally owned coffee shops, Morning Brew, in Hawaii got a recent facelift. Much improved from before! Now this coffee house looks more inviting and welcoming. Before the redo, it did look old and unfriendly.
Fundraiser Bartering
Anyone interested in bartering school fundraisers? If you buy from us, we’ll buy from you (unless we already bought the same product from somebody else). What do we have?
Turkey drumsticks! Two for $10. For coworkers, we’ll pick up the drumsticks and bring to work for distribution. Pickup is set for Saturday, September 27. These smoked turkey drumsticks are fully cooked but frozen for a quick heat meal.
We also have gift wrapping and more from SallyFoster.com. You can look online for items you’re interested in and provide us the Item numbers. We can then order the items and get free shipping to Hawaii. The order will be delivered by Thursday, November 13, well in time for wrapping those Christmas gifts.
Any takers? Anyone?
Comfy Brown Shirt Day
A Friday before a long weekend calls for the comfy brown shirt at work. I’ve had this Hilfiger collared shirt for some time now, and it’s like my comfort wardrobe for work.
No one’s around anyways…
