Remembering Gloria Jeans
Walking through Windward Mall the other day, I passed by this now closed spot and thought way back to the days this was Gloria Jeans Coffee.
Coffee locales in the mall are now Cinnabon and even Ben & Jerry’s.
Where’s Your Jasmine Trias CD?
Random thought of the day. Where is your Jasmine Trias CD?
Mine was in the glove box in the family van. Got this back in 2005 after Jasmine’s run on American Idol. Wonder if it got any play at Club 939?
Is It That Bad?
Wow, is the movie Jennifer’s Body starring Megan Fox that bad? Right now, the DVD version is a Lightning Deal on Amazon, going for 90% off! So you end up paying $1.99, and still the deal isn’t sold out yet. Must be real bad.
Is That All Legos?
Wow, are all of these Star Wars replicas constructed purely using Lego bricks? If so, that’s very impressive work and also very costly for that many pieces!
Holiday Gift Guide: Flawed Angels Shirts
Oh, those angels from Victoria’s Secrets. They are not infallible, nor are they sports fans of the Big 10 conference. If finding the elusive APEC aloha shirts is too tough, you might want to search for this mistake.
See this Michigan State Spartans-themed shirt produced by Victoria’s Secrets? Color’s right, emblem’s correct, but the motto “Hail to the Victors,” well that ain’t right. That saying belongs to rival University of Michigan Wolverines.
I guess angels can make mistakes.
Hangova in Hawaii
Check out who’s been hanging in Hawaii recently! Could that be Justin Chon, aka Eric from the Twilight movie series?
Could that be Jennifer Fairbank, former Miss Hawaii USA 2005?
Could this be filmed at Club 939?
“D’you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?”
Remember that line from the movie Jerry Maguire? Remember that adorable kid who stated that line? Yup, that would be Jonathan Lipnicki, but he ain’t 5 years old any more.
Did Derek Hough Just Get Outchoreographed?
Can it be? Did 3-time mirrorball trophy winner and master choreographer Derek Hough get outchoreographed in the Dancing with the Stars Finals of Season 13? Derek is the creator of the futuristic paso doble, the psycho tango, the acoustic Argentine tango, the paso doble from the 50’s, the too erotic samba, and is the lambada gribbler. But still, it was two-time winner Cheryl Burke who had the better freestyle strategy for peaking Rob Kardashian. That slow to fast freestyle transition was more original than the hip hop freestyles we’ve seen in the recent DWTS Finals.
I thought Derek and Ricki were a shoo-in to win Season 13, but after the first night of the Finals, the lead belongs to Boy Kardashian. And don’t necessarily count JR out yet. His fierce freestyle brought him and Karina back into contention. Closest DWTS Finals I can remember.
After tonight, my nod is to Rob and Cheryl.
What’s a Photo Consent Form?
So you take professional pictures at a portrait studio, and you want to use one of these shots for a Christmas card. Can you design a card using one of these pictures and mass produce them at Costco?
Supposedly yes, if you get the release and photo consent forms from the portrait studio (by purchasing the portrait). But what does a typical consent form look like? I don’t think it’s an .ini file on a burned CD that contains the image. But that’s what we’re being told is the consent form. I’m no Microsoft Windows expert, but don’t .ini files contain configuration settings for apps? Using a text editor, the .ini file looks like a typical “innie” file with a bunch of parameters and their values.
I’ll see what happens when I take a print out of this .ini file (as instructed by the portrait studio) to Costco to authorize the release of our Christmas cards. Maybe Costco won’t even check? I’m not sure how this works, but I’ll find out soon enough.
