Happened to be at Kahala Mall when long-time tenant Star Market was closing its doors. Everything was more or less wiped out already. I found a rare four pack of discontinued Royal Mills Cafe Coconut iced coffee, but the expiration date was 2005.
Thanks to the Angry Asian Girls’ Day at Elements Hawaii, I got a treat for the referrals – an Insalata Caprese Salad made by Jamie as part of her Italian dinner.
Yum!

Went to eat at the re-opened Farrell’s at Windward Mall, not once, but twice in the recent weeks. The inside is pretty small, and it doesn’t seat that many people. There’s a side room for large parties and a small area where you can buy toys and knickknacks.
The food is your standard fair, but don’t get the teri chicken sandwich. It’s a waste of time with teri sauce covering a regular chicken fillet.
The main reason why you go to Farrell’s is, of course, for the ice cream. A banana split please!
How about a 30-scoop Mauna Kea Fudge Volcano? I think that’s a one-man job for the Tabasco Man.
Took a few pictures of the new California Pizza Kitchen ASAP in Kailua. The staff was a little unorganized, and the salad is way too small for the price. Pizzas are available in bigger 14-in sizes, but it seems like there’s the same amount of toppings as a 9-in pizza. The menus are displayed on three huge plasma displays.
After talking about the behemoth that is now Bobby Nash, aka B.Nasty of the UH Men’s basketball team, I dug through my old emails and found this.
Check out the biceps from B.Nasty from a few years back.
His game changing four-point play against Rice.
UH could have used some of his lucky game winning shots against New Mexico State last night. He backironed his three-point attempt. UH can compete and hang with the WAC leaders but can’t beat them. Not good.

The storm of activity due to the coverage of Lost at Club 939 is over. As of 9pm, there were over 200 visitors according to Sitemeter, coming from these main sources:
Thanks to Ryan Ozawa/pzarquon for breaking this post to Lost fan sites.
Here are some other related posts.
And who was lost at 939? Could it be this Nikki or that Nikki? Then again, the film could’ve all been erased due to an airport x-ray scan…

Saw some strange activity today when checking Pulpconnection stats. Had about 30 visits this morning alone when usually 30 hits is typical for the entire day. Looking further, a few Lost spoiler sites have picked up my coverage of Lost filming at Club 939 causing this spike of traffic.
So far, there have been 107 hits coming from Lost Spoilers and the Fuselage.
Grand opening of the Apple Store at Kahala Mall is set for Saturday, February 10. The store opens at 10am, and the first 1000 people get free t-shirts. There’ll also be a drawing to win a MacBook, Nano, and an iPod Hi-Fi sound system.
Are you going?

Last week, the Honolulu Advertiser announced they were adding a new blog to their blogging stable dedicated to the television hit Lost and focusing on its ties to Hawaii. Sounded pretty cool, so I decided to check out the “Lost” in Hawaii blog and its ONE entry! One entry! Uno, ichi, yat, hana! What’s with that?
I know the blogger, Caryn Kunz, says she’ll blog every week before and after each new episode, but if you’re going to launch a blog, how about having some content built up first to draw in the reader. Lost restarts this Wednesday, but how about talking about some of the previous episodes and its Hawaii influences? Like how Lost recently filmed at Club 939, and what that could imply for show plots? Or any other on-location filming Lost has done in Hawaii?
To separate from other blogs dedicated to Lost, “Lost” in Hawaii really needs to push the Hawaii scene and “insider” perspective. Find stories and pictures from local folks’ interaction with the show and the actors. Maximize the natural advantage we have with Lost filming in our own state.
A little disappointing start, but hopefully the “Lost” in Hawaii blog builds its content and a community for all of us other Losties in Hawaii.

The weekend edition of MidWeek has some pictures from Club 939 in their Spotted section. MidWeek forgot to include one picture though. It’s this one of some players flashing the dough and fiddling with their ball.

Beep… beep… beep. Windward Mall actually has a pulse and is not dead yet. Massive renovations were planned and are almost complete giving this deathtrap a new chance at life.
Notable new additions include d.e.m.o., Lids, Sanrio, Journeys, Cinnamon Girl, and Clearwire. Don’t forget Ruby Tuesdays is already there, Farrell’s is open for business, and IHOP opens next week.
The Mall is getting another boost with the coming of a full sized Borders featuring a Starbucks cafe. At last, the only mall in Hawaii without a Starbucks is joining the caffeine addicted.
