Though Twilight the movie isn’t coming out until the end of November, the soundtrack is set for release on November 4, and you can now pre-order on iTunes.
Price is $11.99, and you get 3 bonus tracks with the iTunes version. The music is supposed to be pretty good, getting an A- rating from Entertainment Weekly.

Read about some new business partners today.
Starbucks is teaming with (RED), founded by U2’s Bono. “From Nov. 27 to Jan. 2, 5 cents from the sale of each Peppermint Mocha Twist, Gingersnap Latte and Espresso Truffle will go to the Global Fund.”
Tivo is teaming with Netflix. By year’s end, Tivo users will be able to instantly watch movies streamed from Netflix’s online service. Tivos can already download videos from Amazon, but if you’re a current Netflix customer, this is a great partnership, though I wished Apple would have teamed with Tivo instead.

Every week, I post a YouTube video of one or more of the Dancing with the Stars performances. By far, the ones with the most views are of Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer. Lance and Lacey dances about double the amount of views of other posted performances. Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke are no match, Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson get some attention, and Mark Ballas and Kim Kardashian get outviewed by his dad, Corky Ballas, and the now-eliminated Cloris Leachman.
The only couple that comes anywhere close is Derek Hough and Brooke Burke, but only for their Too Erotic Samba. Wonder if this viewership is any indication of who will win the DWTS Mirror Ball trophy?

What can one trillion dollars get you? A whole that’s what. Even though this site looks at how the cost of the Iraq War could have been spent on other things, there’s an online simulator to see what you can get for a cool trillion.
Wanna buy the Yankees and the Mets? You’d still have $998,318,000,000 to burn. Heck, throw in the entire NFL franchise and your total is only still in the billions.
What a funked up Dancing with the Stars in the sixth week of competition. Must be cause Halloween is coming up, but what a strange show. First off, Head Judge Len Goodman was no where to be seen, replaced by the Lord of the Dance, Michael Flatley. This rookie judge had some questionable scores, contradicting Carrie Ann and Bruno. And what was with Carrie Ann and Bruno’s bickering the entire night?
The plague of injuries continues to haunt Season 7. Brooke Burke’s foot is jacked up limiting her mobility on the night she performed the rumba, the most sensual of the dances. The Lord was going majestic on Ms. Wild On giving this performance a 10 to Bruno and Carrie Ann’s 8. I thought Cody Linley and Julianne Hough’s samba was good but the judges didn’t agree. And now Julianne is going under the knife to remove her appendix for what I thought I heard was endometriosis? Cody will dance on with the return of hotness personified, Edyta Sliwinska.
Break through Maurice Greene reverted back to mediocre material. Cloris Leachman is approaching the judges’ death knell with substantially lower scores. This week all 5’s across the board. I can’t believe jokester Warren Sapp was feared in the NFL.
Lance Bass is back from being in the bottom two last week. My pick for this week.
And lastly, even though Susan Lucci showed signs of life out on the dance floor, she should be eliminated just for her performance in the group hip hop. This New Yorker proved that hip hop is definitely a West Coast thing, looking lost and awkward while trying to bust the funk, yo. Erica Kane, you got to be steppin’!
Len Goodman, where ever you are, please come back and stop the funk.

As a member of the Apple Students group in Facebook, I got a notification about free iTunes music. 20 tunes as part of a music sampler. Never heard of the artists, but free is free.
If you’re a Facebook member, get your free music from the Apple Students group.

Made some minor changes to Pulpconnection. Switched to Blogger’s new embedded comment form to make commenting easier.
Added a new blog to my list of blogs I read. Go check out Stylish Van Mommy written by a classmate I’ve connected with on Facebook. Most of her posts have an unique view of reality (and memories from the past).
Week 5 of Dancing with the Stars was unusual with its new dances and special recap episode (which came in very handy). This week’s dances included West Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa, and Jitterbug. Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson’s Hustle was highly entertaining, but Maurice Greene’s Salsa with Cheryl Burke was the breakthrough performance of the evening.
Toni Braxton is singing another sad love song, being the semi-surprising elimination at the halfway point of the competition. Yes, Cloris is still hanging in there.

Doing some catching up with old(er) material. Had dinner at Tango Contemporary Cafe before the family epidemic began. Some pics of the food.
I’m no food critic so check out Myong’s insightful review of Tango.
Taking some time to recharge a bit after a long week. That unknown viral bug wiped out our entire family and caused a stay at the hospital for a bunch of fortunately negative tests. Then there was the fire at the adjacent Central Union preschool. Caused some commotion within the hospital, but the staff handled the “Code Red” very well. Couldn’t tell there was a fire except for the reek of smoke everywhere.
Had to miss the inaugural PodcampHawaii, but there’s just too many things going on now to break away. So it’s time to step back awhile, recharge, and do some brainless stuff like watch True Blood, Dancing with the Stars, and Yo Gabba Gabba.
And speaking of recharging, I need one of these replacement battery chargers.
