Leopard Is About to Leap

Apple’s latest Mac OS, Leopard, is about to make its leap on Friday, October 26, at 6pm. Why the specific time release of 6pm? I don’t know, but if that’s a hassle to make it to an Apple Store at 6pm, there’s another alternative.

You can pre-order Leopard from Amazon right now at a discounted price. On Amazon, the single user version goes for $109 and the 5-user family pack sells for $189. Normal price is $129 and $199 respectively.

If you’re really lucky, your copy of Leopard ships right before the release date so you receive your copy the same day of the release. Nice!

So if you want to avoid some hassles, pre-order Leopard from Amazon now.

Starbucks Hand Picked Songs Are Delectable

, , ,

Have you been sampling the iTunes and Starbucks promotional Hand Picked Song of the Day? They are simply delectable!

For freebies, I was expecting mediocre stuff, but many of these songs are very, very good. You Picked Me by A Fine Frenzy, Emily King’s Moon, No One’s Gonna Love You by Band of Horses – all good stuff. And other songs are all solid picks.

Do yourself a favor and pick up some of these free delectable treats (but don’t hog them for yourself! Leave some for others to enjoy).

Contrasting and Up-Lifting Dancing with the Stars

,

Dancing with the Stars was an enjoyable contrast featuring the aggressive paso doble and the romantic Viennese waltz. Like Head Judge Len Goodman critiqued previously, excellent dances feature opposites – fast versus slow, hard versus soft, dark versus light, and the paso and Viennese waltz provided just that. And surprisingly all the dancers responded with probably the best showing this season.

Mark Cuban and Kym Johnson came in last place with the judges’ scores but still managed a combined score of 22. Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas continue to impress getting the first perfect score this season. Many couples performed questionable lifts as pointed out by judge Carrie Ann Inaba who played the role of hardass, usually portrayed by Len Goodman. In contrast, Lenny was genny (generous) with his scores, overlooking point deductions on lifts, and giving out two 10s, one to Sabrinie and the other to Jennie.

Jennie Garth and Derek Hough were locked in with the intensity of the paso. Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani were a picture of elegance. Floyd Mayweather and Karina were intense looking like Floyd was going to rip Karina’s leg off during the last spin. Mel B and Maksim are goofy together which makes them comfortable on the dance floor. Cameron Mathison and and Edyta were super in their Superman routine. Marie Osmond and Jonthan keep engaging the crowd while Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough revved their waltz with Xanadu-like feathery feel.

The music was awesome with contrasting music, putting ballroom dance against contemporary tunes. How’s this lineup of music?

  • Mr. Bojangles-Robbie Williams
  • You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)-Dead or Alive
  • Piano Man-Billy Joel
  • Captain From Castille-US Air Force Band of the Rockies
  • Breakaway-Kelly Clarkson
  • Superman Theme-Original Soundtrack
  • Can’t Help Falling In Love-Elvis Presley
  • Because We Can-Fatboy Slim
  • Iris-Goo Goo Dolls

New Season of UH Hoops

Can’t wait for the new season of the UH Men’s basketball team. New coach, new system, some new players, and some old time favorites.

The Twilight Ohana gave the fans a first look at the men’s and women’s squads and the stats line for the scrimmage was interesting. Riley Luettgerodt leading the way with 17 points?! Will this be his breakout year?

Yao-hopeful Ji Xiang got one point and one board and is described by Head Coach Bob Nash as being “more athletic than one might think.” Hmmm…

Season starts on Friday, November 9 against the San Diego Torreros of the West Coast Conference. Here’s the rest of the schedule.

I’m Topped Out…

As in pooped, as in tired, as in I’m running race where the finish line keeps moving further away and at times in a different direction.

And we haven’t even begun… 🙁

Top Chefs Reunited

The contestants from Top Chef Season Three came back for a hana hou in a reunion episode. There was some behind-the-scenes talk like the chefs waiting in the “stew room” on average of six hours while the judges made their decisions. The video montages were pretty good, and Sara N had another opportunity to show off her top chefs.


Casey was voted the Fan Favorite and received $10,000, beating out my choices of CJ and Dale.

Out of Control Passions and Addictions

, , ,

My passion for music and addiction to coffee and caffeine is in overdrive. Since iTunes and Starbucks started their Song of the Day promotion, I don’t think I’ve missed one song.


Nope, I haven’t gone to Starbucks every day, but when I do go, most stores usually have a back stock of music cards so you can catch up with songs you missed. Although a barrista did say that the promotion is getting more popular so you may not be able to get previously released songs.
