Babies R Us Coming Soon to Pearl City
Saw that Babies R Us is coming soon to Pearl City across the street from WalMart.
I’m guessing the current Aiea Toys R Us location is staying??
The Alien Ninja Returns (Sorta)
I was afraid the Alien Ninja was down for the count with its various web domains expired. Then this tweet from Alien Ninja writer, designer, and director, Greg Aronowitz, reaffirmed that the Alien Ninja was back.
Still not sure what the current state of the project is, but there’s still hope the Ninja makes an appearance somewhere.
Target the Gold Digger on iTunes
This week on iTunes features a new partnership with Target?!
Not so excited? Then how about this Glee freebie featuring Mr. Schuester doing the funkiest white boy cover of Kanye West’s Gold Digger? Yes, the full version, not a teaser. Get down girl, go ‘head, get down!
The Snooze Burger at The Counter
I gotta call this custom The Counter creation the Snooze Burger. Grilled pineapple, gruyere cheese, dill pickle chips, roasted red peppers, roasted corn and black bean salsa.
After eating this, I napped for a looong time. Or it could have been the fries, or the sweet potato fries, or the peanut butter shake…

Seal and Heidi Klum Shop at Windward Mall
Are you or aren’t you a financial deathtrap Windward Mall? Despite some key closures and openings, the mall attracted Seal, Heidi Klum, and their family for a day of shopping.
Looks like the Straub Clinic exit near the parking structure?? And yes, Project Runway debuted its sixth season, now on Lifetime. And yes, Ari was given the auf Wiedersehen despite the disaster that was Mitchell’s run way look. And yes, Malvin is so intriguing that my vocabulary fails me.

1. L.P. “Neenz†Faleafine From the Mind of NEENZ
That’s 12 overlaps (see update below) between the two lists. I’m not suggesting that both lists be completely in sync (where would the variety be in that?). So why make the comparison? Just an observation knowing of both these Hawaii focused resources.
I wonder how many top Hawaii bloggers and social media geeks are native Hawaiian? 😉
Update: Thanks to NEENZ, I updated the cross comparison showcasing the local talent which is now up to 17 overlaps.
Run This Town
The new video of Run This Town featuring Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West.
For @teejaygee to up his street cred.
Lane Closed
Hey all you Windward tweeters, the Hawaii Department of Transportation is asking you to retweet the lane closure from 830A-3P. Be sure to help out and RT the message. 😉
Quick Poll: Mankini, Malo, or Mawashi?
If you absolutely had to and death were not an option, which of these three M’s would you wear?
Soy Sauce Coup Detat?
Did Korean soy sauce maker, Sempio, just pull a coup detat on Kikkoman at none other than Kozo Sushi?
Instead of the familiar red, black, and white salt packets, I was given these silver packets instead. New Kikkoman design? Nope, new shoyu distributor for Kozo.
Polaroid Cameras Are Extinct?!
Before the instant gratification of the digital camera, there was the Polaroid Instant Film. You know the one that Outkast (incorrectly) immortalized by singing “shake it like a Polaroid picture.” Well, Polaroid stopped producing these cameras and film and sold off the production plant.
You do have one last chance of getting your hands on an authentic Polaroid camera and film at Urban Outfitters. They scooped up the last production of these now extinct items and will be selling their deadstock of 700 camera kits. You can pick up a Polaroid ONE600 Classic camera at Urban Outfitters starting Friday, August 21.
