Is Coffee Cheaper in Kapolei?
Is Starbucks coffee from Kapolei cheaper than other Hawaii locations? Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention, but I didn’t think a grande iced coffee was just over 2 bucks. I thought it was like around $2.40?
This was from the oasis Starbucks in Target Kapolei so not sure if that matters. Sadly, this location doesn’t participate in the My Starbucks Rewards program.
The Bestest of “Son of a Bitch”
Leave it to Sawyer of LOST to master the art form of “Son of a bitch!” Here are his highlights over the years.
And don’t be alarmed, he says “son of a bitch” quite a few times in the video. 😉
Dew-ing the Distortion
Mountain Dew is at it once again, testing new flavors. Have you seen them? There’s the Typhoon, Distortion, and White Out.
The first Dew I sampled is the radioactive green Distortion. This drink is green, a cosmic glowing green, and is described as “Lime Blasted.” I have to agree with that. The Distortion is limey tart and not any sweeter than normal Mtn Dew.
For me, the tartness makes the Distortion difficult to drink. The smoothness is gone though this might make a great Slurpee syrup. Content-wise, it’s classic Mountain Dew, packing 290 HFCS-filled calories in 20-oz along with 91 mg of caffeine.
I don’t think Distortion will get my Dewmocracy vote, but it does make a catchy Twitter background image.
Musical Kicks, Is This For Real?
I have a hard time believing this video is legit, but then again, my Asian kin are known for doing some wacky, way out stuff. I mean, who would think of using Nike Free Run+ shoes to control musical instruments? These DJs are wiggety wack geniuses!
Medical Notes
Some medical notes to record for posterity.
- Valium is some good stuff. You can’t give a damn even if you tried once you pop one of these.
- A bee sting? More like a bunch of stings. And was that a dremel? Sure sounded like one, but forgot to ask.
- An iPod is your friend. Listening to music is a good way to pass the time.
- Who knew ice was that effective? But even more effective is Tylenol with codeine. That’s also some good stuff.
- Cephalexin is stinky, really stinky and like asparagus, affects your body. Makes me gassy, stinky gassy.
- Aches go away fairly quick but gravity is a somber reminder of the situation.
- Magazines, books, an iPhone (maybe an iPad), movies, and blogging are all good ways for the rest and recovery time. In the end, it’s all worth it. 🙂

Man, oh man, what did Bobby Brown do to Whitney Houston? All them drugs changed her to an odd looking Asian dude!
FB Login
So far, most of the basic FB social plugins work with an easy install. Only the Facepile plugin isn’t behaving, but I think I’m missing a step. And things seems to slow down with the FB Javascript library loading (along with all my other crap). 😉
Here’s the Login plugin which will ask you to authorize this “app” to access your Facebook account (which will probably scare off users).
And now the Facepile plugin works… so this Login was the missing step.
