He’d be a tall, skinny Peppermint Mocha Twist! A refreshingly cool, mocha complexioned, non-fat drink with a kick. The only question then is would the drink be cool or hot?
Be sure to vote for Mark and his temporary partner, Anna Trebunskaya, as Lacey recovers from the flu.
Got a busy but fun week ahead. What’s in store?

The litany of iPhone apps continues to grow and seriously, there is an app for that. My latest iPhone app additions:
Still looking for the new Toys R Us “Big Book” app, the one that lets you create and share your list of favorite toys (as seen in the Big Book itself).

In any case, how about a New Moon movie poster to remember Rob and Kristen in their Twilight immortality.
Did your kids get any Sparkle Floam in trick or treat goodie bags? What a messy failure they are! So sticky and gooey, they’re a disaster in the making.
Sparkle Floam looks like Styrofoam grains mixed into glittery goo and reminds me of a kid-time novelty. Remember that tube of goo that came with a small straw? You’d put a wad of the stuff on the straw and blow greenish, reddish bubbles. Yeah that stuff. Smells the same too. Even with this memory trigger, Sparkle Floam is a failure.
Just read up on how to take a screenshot of an iPhone.
hold down the home button while quickly pressing the sleep/wake button at the top of the phone. The screen will flash and an image will be saved in your Camera Roll

On Friday, October 30, 2009, Sea Life Park had their Pre-Halloween Party where guests could join the fun for $1 per person. Starting at 4pm, the park’s admission lowered to just one buck for kids and their families to walk the grounds, see the sights, and watch an aquatic show.
The park was understandably packed (with many residents from the neighboring Hawaii Kai and Kailua areas). Here are a few pics from the park.
I hope Sea Life Park turns this into an annual event!
Today marks the grand opening of the Pa`ina Ko`olau food court at Windward Mall. The renovated food court is twice the size, extending to areas formerly occupied by shops, and features these vendors:
Yes, some vendors are relocating to the Pa`ina Ko`olau food court from their current locations.
We happened to see the blessing of Pa`ina Ko`olau and snapped these pictures of the semi-unveiled food court.
Not quite a self-evident partnership but the coffee purveyor and the computer company have joined up to offer savings to its friends and family. By signing up at:

Starbucks friends and family can get deals on HP computers, laptops, printers, accessories and more. That is if you’re a fan of HP goods. I would’ve liked a coffee and fruit pairing better if you know what I mean.
Thanks to Ryan Ozawa, I am now a verified member of NeighborGoods.
What’s NeighborGoods about?
NeighborGoods is the online community where you can save and earn money by sharing stuff with your neighbors. Need a ladder? Borrow it from your neighbor. Have a bike collecting dust in your garage? Earn some extra cash by renting it out!
NeighborGoods members can borrow, lend, rent, sell and give stuff away to their neighbors, saving money and getting more value out of the items they already own.

Some risque lines from last night’s episode of Top Chef titled “Meat Natalie.” The Top Chef contestants took over Tom Colicchio’s craftsteak steak house in Las Vegas but was thrown a gigantic curve when they had to prepare a vegetarian meal for Natalie Portman.
Overheard at dinner…
Padma: “it’s like a little prick in my mouth at the tip of my tongue… then it got big in my mouth.”
Natalie, her friends, and Tom couldn’t stop laughing.
