giants game & gummy bears

here we go, lots to talk about today. lots of pictures too, so this post will look nice and pretty. i know how everyone likes a good picture book.

last night i went to the giants game with the lady, gookie and lucy. it was a very good time. before that, i was sitting on my couch, eating gummy bears. more on the gummy bears later.

at the game, i got to see a giants win, eat garlic fries, and see in person how fast fred lewis really is (did anyone see that superman leap he took into third base?). we had seats down the third base line, so this was our view (everyone - well all 30,000 of us is standing up because this is during last pitch):

we also all got posters of matt cain even though kevin correia was pitching. poor game day logistics planning i guess.

during the game, i had to get up and leave multiple times to get various things to eat and drink. this led very pissed off fans at the end of our aisle and to the following conversation:

me: hey, its the seventh inning stretch you want to get a hot dog?
lady: no i want you to get me a hot dog.
me: oh. do you want a souvenir? i saw some giants teddy bears.
lady: no i want two.

i came back with this. mmmmm tastes good! i think she might still be mad about that.

ok now back to the gummy bears. so there i was, sitting on my couch eating gummy bears before the game, thinking about how much i love them. i remember being very little, and gummy bears were one of the few candies i was allowed to eat (one of the other ones was starbursts). i believe this was because my parents thought that gummy bears and starbursts had nutritional value in the form of fruit juice. it also might have been because my mom is an absolute gummy bear and starburst fiend - some for me meant some for her. whatever the case may be, i still feel the same way to this day. last november, i was in taiwan and ate almost half a bottle of childrens gummy bear vitamins (i cant read chinese).

i remember always grouping all of my gummy bears by color, and eating them one color at a time. i thought that the white ones by far were the tastiest, and i remember not caring too much for the yellow or the orange flavors. i wonder if anyone else did this? or maybe i have a little bit of rain man in me. either that or ocd.

anyways, eating those gummy bears was the inspiration behind the following designs, all available on the zazzle store now.

side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.
