more giants games and empowering birthday presents!

May 10th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in news, sports

[update] once again, the angry ninja blog shows its magical powers. one day later, lincecum catches on fire and the giants score 8. the kid is awesome!

attended the giants phillies game for my birthday tonight. came to a sad conclusion: in order to win, the giants need to hold the opponent to under 4 runs a game. is 4 a magical number you ask? yup, yup it is. it is the maximum number of runs the giants can generate.

see fred lewis out there? see how sad and lonely he looks? this is because the phillies are going to score 7 runs during the game, making it impossible for his team to win.

went to the game with the lady, jack, and ivy, who had the following presents for me.

seem pretty normal. girls give books as presents all the time (at least to me). maybe there is something about books that make them seem like they would be good presents. either that, or girls might just tend to think that i need to read more books to broaden my horizons and make me a more interesting person.

well considered them broadened. these books are going to be awesome, and they definitely contain a lot of knowledge that can be bestowed upon me. flipping through the pages, i run across the following images.

see that? im going to learn how to punch someone in the balls. with authority. kim kardashian didnt need to take those self defense lessons to stay safe from stalkers. she should have just read this book.

i will also learn how to use crazy nunchakus/wood block things and grow an awesome mustache.

i cant wait to see what tomorrow at le colonial brings. forecast calls for 70% chance of inappropriateness, with 80% chance of adventure. 100% chance of awesome guaranteed.

giants game & gummy bears

April 11th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in design, sports, store

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):

whoo 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.

tasty!

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.

extra yummy

extra tangy

extra chewy

extra juicy

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.
