Red Velvet… Wine?
Recently, red velvet has been a hot flavor going beyond cakes and cupcakes. Â But red velvet cupcake wine? Â Nah, gotta pass on this one. Doesn’t sound too good.

Oreo Gone Gimmicky
Not sure what’s my infatuation with Oreos, but with all the gimmicks they pull, you have to love their chutzpah. Look at this assortment of Oreos. Not double stuffed Oreos, not tripled stuffed, noooo… there are Triple Double Oreos with three cookie layers and two different filling flavors.
Don’t like the traditional Oreo dark brown? Then you can get the Golden Oreos. Don’t like Oreos in a cookie form? Then Oreo Brownies are for you.
Keep’em coming Nabisco!

Zappos Has Me Pegged?
I guess if I were a female named Peg then Zappos’ personalized recommendations would make more sense. Here’s what Zappos profiled for my tastes.
I still love Zappos, but I really don’t know how I’ll look in them 7 For All Mankind crop jeans…
Picture of the Day: Tabbed Browsing
I absolutely love the tabbed browsing feature of modern day web browsers. Was it FireFox that first introduced this? Then Safari and Chrome? Somewhere along the way, even Internet Explorer got the tab treatment. As soon as I tried tabs, I was hooked. From my main window, each hyperlink that looked interesting I opened in a new tab. Simple but very effective from having to keep going back in a web browser.
Anyways back to the picture of the day. At work, I found this print out of Internet Explorer welcoming users to tabbed browsing and explaining what tabs can do. Yes, you HAVE to print this page to learn about tabbed browsing.
A Terrible High Five?
If you’re going to give your teammate an encouraging high five, you best do it right. Otherwise, you could be called for a technical foul. That’s the only reason I can think of for this tech called on Reggie Evans of the Clippers. His high five with Blake Griffin wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t great, and it wasn’t really needed either. But neither was that technical.
Frightening Oreos
Is it me or do some of the Oreo cookie varieties frighten you? Â They just look so unnatural, I can’t believe people buy them.
TJ Maxx Pearl City Has Lots of Thongs
The second TJ Maxx on Oahu opened today in the Pearl City area, and I went looking for kicks/sneakers/shoes. Â Maybe a discounted Air Jordan, an older Air Max, or a not-so-popular Hyperfuse could be found at the grand opening right? Nope, no men’s shoes anywhere, just lots and lots of thongs. Â Dressy ones, leather ones, casual ones, waterproof ones. So many slippers, but no shoes of any type. Â There are women’s shoes but none for the guys. And yes, there are footwear thongs for women and kids.
I didn’t catch the festivities before the store opened for business at 8am. I got there right at 8 and walked right on in, getting a free TJ Maxx bag.
The store seems smaller on the inside. It looks bigger on the outside. I took a quick stroll through the store before the crowds and lines started to build. Â As I was leaving, more and more people were entering.
Sorry, I didn’t take very many pictures since I wanted to get in and out fast. I did capture this panorama nearby the checkout line.
President Obama Thrown by a Chee-Hoo
If, for whatever reason, you need to fluster President Barack Obama, just give him a hearty chee-hoo! Watch the POTUS’ expression when he gets the chee-hoo during his speech at the Asian Pacific American Institute.
Giving the Gift of “We Are Young”
Not only is Gilly Hicks dramatic, but it’s where the young people are (and older people who like to sing “We Are Young”). So if you want to give the gift of youth, get a Gilly Hicks gift card.  Just look at the card itself, it exudes youthful exuberance and um, vitality.
A MILF Monogram?!
I don’t care what your initials are. Please, someone, anyone. Don’t allow your friend whose initials happen to be “MLF” to get a bag embroidered with her legal monogram. It makes for an uncomfortable or head-turning scenario.
The Downfall of Swirl Candy Apple?
Is Swirl Candy Apple still open for business in Hawaii? I no longer see the long-time vendor in Windward Mall, and their Ward location has been gone for some time.
Could other bakeries offering candy apples at a competitive cost led to Swirl’s downfall?
