Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Cousin Jason. Tonight’s softball game was another stunner. GR wins 18-13 in a big time hitting display. Although the other team also filled with Asians were powerful and exciting, they were overmatched. Cousin Jay got a hit, but while running pulled a calf muscle. His calf is bigger than most people’s thighs. It looks like a massive turkey drumstick. While the team was in the middle of one of the rallies, hobbling Jason came up to bat. He could barely walk. He hits a bloop and gets a hit, and struggled to get to first base! That’s big time heart. Good defense, strong offense, and the shootout ended in GR’s favor. The foes eventually broke down and couldn’t match the heat.

gr/eats promotion is over. It actually ended on monday, but look at this photo! That’s Mayan Chicken and it’s tasty! There’s a cool short story about this. I asked Chef Nelson about dishes that he really likes from his home country, El Salvador, and the next day he busted this out. It’s a dish made on special occasions only, but we serve it daily. There’s some interesting ingredients in it, and many think there’s some chocolate (like mole) but wrong region, wrong tribe! If you ask him, maybe Nelson will tell you! This dish tasted so good, it had to go on the menu. The chicken is almost cooked like stew and it slides off the bone. This impressive photo was taken by SX-70 and it’s on the lounge. It makes me hungry looking at it.

I should be making a GRSF store appearance tomorrow wed. Haight street. Where do you eat there? SF is supposedly a culinary town, right? A couple of weeks ago, I was hungry and desperate for something good. When in doubt, breakfast usually works 24-7. SF, especially Haight street, is a decent breakfast area. Although it’s just potatoes, toast, and eggs, for a greasy morning breakfast, Haight street’s (notice how I don’t differentiate? – it’s all the same usually. One taste one area) probably better on average than what you’d get in LA, it’s a safe bet. Last time I went, I ate the crappiest Tofu scramble. The one in the picture looks great, but the one I got looked grey and it was a little sour. The potatoes were fine, the toast was as you’d expect, but how do you fuck that one up? This spot near the end of the Upper Haight area leading to the middle Haight did just that. Why did I pick that place? I swear it said there was wireless, which there wasn’t. I told some locals about it, and the first thing they ask, “Was it the Pork Store?” “Was it ___?” For some reason, no one knew where the heck I ate, and that was a bad sign. So I picked the only shitty breakfast place in the area. They had the colorful handwritten chalkboard sign and everything, but chalk doesn’t cook the food. So that said, I’ll be in SF. Maybe I’ll eat a huge meal before I get on the plane so I won’t have to eat again. Everyone told me Haight street food isn’t good, but I’m still convinced something has to be alright in the area. There’s Citrus Club, Pizza place, Cha cha cha… not sure… But the nice thing about being in the Upper Haight is that Cole Valley is really close by. Maybe I’ll explore there.

I was going to give you another sentimental story about Japanese school or an update letter from Wayne Lo, but then I saw this video from the Clipper’s game. Chris Kaman gets his nuts tugged. In case you don’t want to see this link, a pro basketball player grabs the nuts of another in a playoff game. I watched this game, saw the shove, but didn’t know what was going down (under), but thanks to video websites, I’m now disturbed that it happened in a basketball game. I bet pine shiner Reggie Evans won’t even get suspended. Smoke pot, get two technicals, say the wrong thing, and you’re busted, grab a dude’s nuts in a game, it’s fine. Men’s sports. It’s filled with so much testosterone and weird views of justice, it’s bizarre.

Ever play these videogame characters? We’d been drawn, painted, and now this. An honor to be smirking digital people. Was this a school project? Art? Are we in a game? Minor details for at least me. I don’t wear long sleeve undershirts, but sometimes, when it’s cold, I wish I did. I don’t have Vans Off the Walls. I want some though! Light brown pants? If I had em, I’m not sure I’d wear em.
