I’m late to this and only now have seen and heard Susan Boyle sing on Britain’s Got Talent.
Wow!

LOST at Miki’s, Part 2
Did you catch this week’s episode of LOST, titled “Some Like It Hoth?” Remember the scene where Miles was abducted by a van full of strangers? Here’s a refresher.
That scene was filmed at Miki’s on Lehua Avenue in Pearl City. Even though less than a minute, the crew was there for some time, transforming Miki’s into La Vida Tacos.
Interesting to see how this…
transformed into this… (well except for the night time part)
If you need a recap of the episode, be sure to check out The Transmission and this week’s podcast.
Costco Muffin Changeup
Oh no, Costco has changed the packaging of their muffins. Instead of buying a pack of 12 muffins, usually in a three-way variety, Costco now offers up two 6-packs of muffins. And you need to buy two packs.
So instead of getting three types of muffins, you only can pick two types. I was hoping they’d sell a single 6-pack, but nope, Costco wants to keep you nice and plump.

CNN-Ashton Kutcher Twitter Race Getting Interesting
The race to one million followers on Twitter between CNN and Ashton Kutcher is getting more interesting with game maker EA taking Kutcher’s side. EA will put Ashton’s one millionth follower in its upcoming Sims 3 game and is throwing in every EA game that’s made in 2009.
Theoretically both CNN and aplusk will hit one million viewers tomorrow, but who will get there first?
CNN Versus Ashton Kutcher!
The Twitter showdown is on between CNN and Ashton Kutcher. Both are nearing one million followers on Twitter so they’re racing to see who gets to this milestone first.
In one view, Ashton already has a victory of getting 900k followers as an individual rather than the news conglomeration of CNN. I did my part and started following Mr. Demi Moore. While viewing his profile, I also see that Lil’ Kim is on Twitter so I had to follow this dancing diva.
The Strategery of Dancing with the Stars
Week 6 of Dancing with the Stars showcased the strategery of the dancing pros. With eight couples remaining, the competition is ratcheting up, and the separation of the contenders begins. So while there are still a fair share of competitors, you can see the pros taking their partners into new territories to distinguish themselves. The strategery winner this week is Derek Hough and Lil’ Kim.
Their jive was indeed a show with massive kudos to the DWTS wardrobe staff for keeping Lil’ Kim in check. The high octane number was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen! But Lil’ Kim’s cop uniform held, and the fans were energized. Carrie Ann and Bruno praised the performance with only dancing purist Len Goodman calling Derek and Kim on their over-the-top dance. But now, Derek and Lil’ Kim have to be viewed as serious contenders for the mirror ball trophy.

Cheryl Burke wanted to show off her man candy aka Gilles Marini and his serious dancing abilities with a frenetic jive. Yeah, I doubt any other of the celebrity dancers could come close to doing this routine, but it was too hectic. Cheryl’s strategy of highlighting Gilles’ skills didn’t pay off this week.
Tony Dovolani and Melissa Rycroft seem to be plateauing a little bit. They’re still in the top tier of dancers, but their performances feel the same. Mark Ballas and Shawn Johnson are hanging tough, but this week was a challenge with Shawn’s young age of 17. Doing a sensual rumba with a teenager on national television would have backfired so Mark chose a conservative strategy and did an “age appropriate” rumba.
Did Steve-O get a 4 from Len Goodman? Ty Murray may be the one to go though. Seemingly, there are more Jackass fans then bull riding fans. LT, you got bailed out by Warren Sapp. Chuck Wicks, you’re a lucky man.
Update: Apparently, there was a minor wardrobe malfunction for Lil’ Kim at the conclusion of her jive. Those on the live East Coast viewing of DWTS got some exposure before the segment was edited for the West Coast. What did Lil’ Kim have to say about the malfunction?
I don’t know why this happens a lot of the time, but … the girls were tryin’ to come out.

The Americana is an Eyeful
Right across the street from the Glendale Galleria is the new addition of The Americana at Brand. This place is kinda outdoor shopping, kinda residential area but all an interesting eyeful.
Shops are downstairs while condos and apartments are upstairs. The architecture is stunning, and there’s a trolley system and a Bellagio-like fountain that does a smaller scale water show.
Here are a few pictures.
And here’s a short video clip of the water show.
If you’re ever in the area, you need to stop by and take a look around.
