Gotti Lawyer on Murder Case

From the Honolulu Advertiser, "How a high-powered lawyer "Bada Bing" world of New York mob trials plays before a Hawai'I jury more accustomed to a "da kine" style of lawyering will be interesting."

The food in Hawaii

Sorry everyone but the food in Hawaii stinks compared to the SF Bay Area. What I've found; however, is if you keep it Asian, you won't be disappointed.

I took this shot on the way to some Korean Yakiniku contemplating this and what I found when I got there was delicious. Keep it real Hawaii.

Baggage Weight Limits

Oh boy I'm I getting good at hand weighing my luggage! One more pound would have cost $75.

Golden Gate Fields

We went to Goden Gate Fields for a friend's birthday and the quote of the day was from the woman taking our cash for the box seats. It looked like she'd been doing this for a while and I wonder, with such a short horse racing season (three months or so), what she did with all her sass the rest of the year.

"You can smoke, you can drink, you can party, you just can't fight"

This set the tone for the whole day.

The Merkin

I was listening to an interview on the radio today with a comedian and his time going through chemo therapy. He detailed the fact that during chemo not only does the hair on your head fall out, but so does the hair down south. Wig shops accomodate with pieces, and they have their own name, they're called Merkins.

Homemade bumper sticker

This is just odd. It's obviously homemade and it's cross-referencing current politics with Apocolypse Now. I'm not sure what kind of statement they're trying to make. I'm really confused.

American Idol is Back

I pretty much loathe American Idol, the competition, but the try outs can be so rewarding. The Germans have a word, schadenfreude, which is the the pleasure received from watching the misery of another.

That's got to be it.

You call this parking?

Imagine how bad this person is at actually driving if this is how well they pull into a parking spot.

Scary.

Want Waves Like Nelly and Diddy?

I found an article on how to get 360 waves... a hairstyle I hadn't heard of before.  I have never been accused of being a fashionista before but I read a lot, and thought I would have come across it at some point.  Regardless of my ignorance, here are some tips to getting your 360 waves [from an article on Squidoo.] 

"The first step is getting a fresh cut if needed. It is no possible to get waves with long hair like, braids, cornrows, dreadlocks, etc. You can also start a new wave pattern off a fresh haircut.

Next, go to your local Walgreen's store and pickup a couple of supplies. Here's what you should get at the very least.

A "Du rag", stocking cap, or another type of scarf- to stop you from destroying your pattern up when you go to sleep. Don't let all that work go to waste.

Medium or soft style hair brush- this is used to brush the 360 waves pattern in. Don't scalp yourself with a coarse brush.

Some hair lotion/moisturizer- this is used to keep your scalp and hair clean and healthy. Also used in some advanced waving methods to help lay the hair down in the 360 wave pattern.

After you get your supplies, wash your hair clean of any dirt, and begin your moisturizing/brushing schedule depending on your hair type. Some will find that their hair may need a lot more moisture or brushing than others. There are guides available on the internet to help you find the best waving combinations for your hair type.

The key in how to get 360 waves in your hair is to stick to your brushing and moisturizing schedule."
