Link Lovin 4.29.11
It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! Yes, I’m totally one of those people that still has that song stuck in her head haha! But since it is Friday, after all, here are some of my favorite links as of late.
- I just added these 10 Cities of the Lost World to my bucket list.
- The Playboy Club Bunny Manual is a wealth of information.
- This little shindig is so simple yet so elegant.
- Oh, wow, Ashlee is going to Greece and she’s going to stay here!
- Elsie’s decorative ampersand is crafty gold.
- Kyla shares her comfort… everything!
- Alycia’s crafting timeline is the cutest. And we even like to make some of the same things!
- I love seeing what other bloggers are reading! A few of Jamie’s faves are sure to be regulars for me, too.
I wanna know, what’s rocking your corner of the interwebs this week?

Must See: Talking Funny
I’m a pretty big comedy nerd. And I don’t just enjoy stand-up comedy either, I’m down for tv shows, podcasts, blogs, short films, etc. So when I heard that four of the biggest names in mainstream stand-up were going to get together to talk funny, I had to watch!
Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis C.K. (all geniuses) sat down for an HBO special, a legendary discussion about what’s so funny about being funny. And it was great! They’re smart, thoughtful and, of course, hilarious. And it’s seriously amazeballs to see how much they’re fans of each other!
I wanna know, what’s the last great thing you’ve seen on TV lately? Who’s your favorite comedian?

Earlier this year, this island couldn’t stop talking about the new place, Yogur Story. It’s a two-story yogurt shop/cafe with free wifi — And it’s pretty gorg!
The other night I finally got to see for myself :) My friend Bobert and I went down for an early dinner, and it was delish! I had a pomegranate iced tea and the Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwich (Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, spinach, roasted garlic, fresh basil and balsamic on bolillo bread; $9.50; Pictured above). All the sandwiches come with a salad (I paid $2-3 to upgrade mine to a caesar).
Bob had the pastrami (also really, really good), so we each had half of each sandwich. Great plan. (We also did it at Honolulu Burger Co. We’re pro foodies like that.)
And take a look at this photo I snapped of the first floor,
Using the Pudding Camera iPhone app!
Yogur Story — 815 Ke’eaumoku St; 8am-10pm daily; 808-942-0505
I wanna know, what new food spot have you tried lately? What’s your favorite local cafe?

Happy Anniversary, Shiba Inu Hawaii!
Over the weekend, Shiba Inu Hawaii celebrated their first anniversary. Since the co-orchestrator of the whole thing is my co-worker and friend, Niki, of course I went! (Even though I was one of the few people without a Shiba, lol!). It was a bright sunny day, and so much fun!
Katsumi & Kuri Firefox and Shiba Bingo
