Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
GR plays to a 14-1 record losing in the division finals… After a season going 12-0, GR made it to the finals once again. We’ve been there before and lost, and it happened again. To win these games, you can’t make mistakes and you have to hit the ball. We didn’t do enough of either and the game slipped away. 9-4. Obviously the other team didn’t make many errors. Their weak infielder (2nd base), did everything he needed to do… So that said, our next season actually starts soon and it happens all over again. It’s sort of like an issue of the magazine. It ends then it starts. We’re now at 61 ends for the magazine. Softball… might be 16+ seasons. 2 a year and we started in 2001. That number sounds impossible, but I think it’s true. No wonder I can’t remember each season and each team anymore. The same happens with the magazine too. I forgot to mention I was co-mvp this year with my cousin Jason. That’s the prize. A bat filled with sunflower seeds that has the word DICK prominently in it.

NBC channel 4 at 6pm tonite, supposedly a segment about GR in West LA will show. That’s me looking at the mic being held by the great Cary Berglund. You wouldn’t believe how beat up it looks! That’s Martin below explaining about the magazine! Hope it comes out well.

Some people wonder what does Kika mean? I know there’s a Latin based name, but actually my cat is Kika for Kikaida. The first thing that I noticed is the half black face. Here’s a video clip to get you a better idea. I watched this way back in LA, on a UHF channel. Under Kika’s fur is cyborg-like electronics.

Kooks… The GR Yard Sale took place on sunday at the GR2 parking lot. It’s weird people show up, and that’s why I’ll probably never do one at my own residence. The guy above proved to be a huge pain in the ass. Imagine, at your yard sale, some guy comes, and hoards just anything in his path. He takes boxes of things and claims it as his… then 4 hours of him picking through other shit later, he discards 2/3 of it and says he doesn’t want it. So in the four hours, no one got to see what those items were and on top of that, the guy tried to fight for a deal and claimed that the four hours of his labor deserved him a discount. A funny moment, Bobby Kim finds a copy of himself also wearing yellow.

That’s me blowing out 40. I don’t have much in the name of being profound at this moment, and probably won’t in terms of what 40 can mean, but it’s already a few days later, and the main thing I’m astounded by is how many well wishers I had on Facebook. So much more virtual Happy Birthdays, than in real life. I think that’s what it’s become now days. Yet, 40 should be better than 30 which was better than 20. 39 was better than 38 and so forth. I’m glad I see it this way. It would suck to feel that high school were my best days, when it fact, it wasn’t.
