Good ole Follow da Leedah (FDL) gave me a lighthearted jab for snapping a pic of Catherine Toth. Somehow though, I don’t think she’ll really care since she’s a mature adult with a sense of humor. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done this skit as the Aiona Girl.
Thanks to Ryan’s Hawaii Blog.

Yup, it was a rainy Halloween in Hawaii.
We still went out there for some treats including seeing Kazuo’s pumpkin carving artwork.
The front. The back.

What can you say, but the youth movement of Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas got pwned on Dancing with the Stars. The front running couple was shockingly eliminated on Week 6, beat out by the mediocre performances of Marrie Osmond and Jane Seymour.
What happened? I’m guessing the short attention spanned kids just forgot to vote. Maybe they were busy downloading Britney’s Blackout on Bit Torrent. Maybe the new television season had them glued to the boob tube. Maybe they were jamming to the just released Guitar Hero III. Maybe they were busy with their pumpkins. Maybe the nerdier ones were busy upgrading to Leopard or unlocking iPhones? Maybe they were enthralled with the latest reality shows like the Girls Next Door or The Kardashians or Kimora Lee’s Life in the Fab Lane? Heck, maybe the kids were simply reading and not getting dumber.
Whatever it was, they didn’t call in, email, text, or IM their votes, and the Cheetah Girl has been cheated out of a Dancing championship. Pwned!!

Since I was at a dinner party, I could only half watch Week 6 of Dancing with the Stars. Couldn’t hear the music or critiques too good, just saw the expressions of the judges and dancers.
Sabrina Bryan and Mark. I heard Len mention his light and dark juxtaposition thing again and as usual, he’s right. Must be the impatience of youth where the young couple want to go back to the fast routines after doing the rumba last week and the foxtrot this week.
The ups and downs of Jennie Garth’s confidence. With great choreography by Derek Hough, the dance was fun and enthusiastic. Jennie has to keep herself zoned in and maintain her confidence. She could be the dark horse this year making the top three.
Did Jane Seymour give a concession speech after her performance? Again I couldn’t quite hear, but I thought I heard remarks about what a great experience DWTS has been – a usual sign you’re on the way out.
I was confused as were the judges with Cameron Mathison and Edyta’s samba that featured Native American Indians. Dinner party guests commented about the outfits the pair wore, especially the lack thereof on Edyta. But as my brother-in-law pointed out, forget watching the guy, it’s all about the ladies.
Did Mel B and Maks just jump the shark and peak too soon? Where can you go after a perfect score? While they’re good, I just don’t think they’ll make it to the final three.
Marrie Osmond and Jonathan doing the paso doble? A tough dance, but I did like how she faked another fainting spell in the routine. A little scary but you gotta give props. Could be out this week but I think Jane Seymour will get the farewell call.
Helio Castroneves was allowed to smile during his cha cha cha with Julianne Hough and his strength was renewed.
I’m predicting Seymour out this week then Marrie Osmond then Cameron Mathison. Following that, I’ll go with an upset of Jennie Garth over Mel B giving a final three of Sabrina, Helio, and Jennie.

While enjoying a Snapple White Tea, Green Apple flavor, I noticed the inside of the cap with “Real Fact” #356
You exhale air at 15 m.p.h.
FYI
This is a quick contest spurred on by Coco Bean’s frivolous comment about wanting to win Britney Spears’ latest CD, Blackout. This contest is a simple one – guess when Pulpconnection will hit 35,000 visits. Post a comment with the date and time (to the minute) when you think this milestone will occur. Closest guess by a Pulpconnection fan wins Blackout.
To make things a little easier, each person can submit 2 entries of dates. Here’s the current stats provided by Sitemeter.
Make sure I can contact you if you win. Closest guess over the actual 35,000 visit trumps an under guess.
Good luck!
Update: Things are moving fast so get your guesses in quick! In fact, get your first guess in by Friday, November 2, and your second guess by Wednesday, November 7. Who knows, the contest may be over by the 7th . If you don’t get your guesses in then no free Blackout for you!
Update 2: To sweeten the Giveaway, I’m throwing in a Starbucks Gift Card that comes with 2 free songs from iTunes.
Update 3: Here’s your guesses so far.
As announced, Britney Spears’ latest work, Blackout, was released early just in time for Halloween.
Already 131 reviews at iTunes with an average rating of 4.5 (out of 5 stars).

For whatever strange reason, I think having a Guitar Hero session at work would be a fun thing. Why, I don’t know, and I’ve never played Guitar Hero I, II, or now III. But it seems like a fun game that anyone can get into.
So commandeer a conference room for an afternoon, ask for employees to bring in their game systems, Guitar Hero games, and guitars, connect to the video projector and have at it. Oh yeah, a small sound system would be needed. Take some pics and maybe some video of nerds jamming to Guns N Roses.
But I’m strange like that…
Even though this work party will never pan out, you can relive the music from Guitar Hero III on iTunes.
Went to a lunch buffet at Tsukiji Fish Market and Restaurant that recently opened at the Ala Moana Ho`okipa Terrace. A big interior with lots of tables, lots of people, lots of space to walk, and lots of food.
The restaurant opens at 11am, and there was a line waiting to get in. Good thing we had a reservation and got a big table. Interesting interior design. Quite a bit of variety of quality food that sure beats Makino Chaya. Though the selection of protein was limited to kalua turkey, kal bi, and teri chicken, but if you’re a sushi lover, you had a choice of sashimi. The salads and desserts were limited but then again, I didn’t come to a Japanese buffet to eat salad and dessert. After stuffing myself, I did get a shave ice with condensed milk which was actually pretty good.
Some random scenes from the day. Club 939 is featuring the ultimate adult-themed Halloween party on Halloween night. Cinnamon Girl has a new exterior facade. I hope their terrible exchange policy has gotten better.
Saw this older gentleman chillin’ on the Ho`okipa Terrace listening to his iPod (see them distinctive earbuds?), but check out his socks. Is that a Jordan Jumpman logo? Young at heart baby!
And Catherine “Cat” Toth was out shopping.
See all the pictures in my .Mac gallery.
To keep up with the hip and happening parenting of the Tabasco Man and Coco Bean, the fam headed out to Aloun Farms to nab a pumpkin or two. Even with its popularity, there was still a bunch of pumpkins as the crowds kept coming.
The white pumpkins are freaky looking.
And yeah, you can’t escape the dust and dirt. If you’re going to use sunscreen, make sure you apply it well in advance of getting to the farm so it soaks in. Putting on sunscreen right before going outside is asking for all that blowing dust and dirt to stick to you. After getting home and cleaning up, my Q-tip for my ear was coated with dirt.
Picked up one big pumpkin for $8 and two little ones for $1. Not bad prices.
I had a Red Eye at Starbucks after hearing an order for a Black Eye. A Red Eye is regular coffee (iced or hot) with a single shot of espresso added in. A Black Eye has two shots of espresso for some major caffeine-induced jitters. The Red Eye is pretty good and has a smoother taste than regular iced coffee.
I asked the barrista about the Black Eye who explained the drink along with the Red Eye. Weird thing is, he said the employees are not allowed to call these drinks Red Eyes or Black Eyes. They know what they are, but when calling out your drink for pickup, they’re supposed to use the non-slang terminology of coffee with an extra shot (for a Red Eye). Not sure why but that’s Starbucks policy.
I remember hearing about a “ghetto latte” before but never did order that “drink.” Though I do understand trying to cut costs since latte drinks hover in the $4-5 range which quickly adds up, especially if you’re going more often to get some handpicked music.
