James Brown is dead. Wasn’t there a song called that? But this time, he really died. RIP to the godfather of soul. Paul Westerberg from the replacements did something weird. Why would he put a screwdriver through his hand? It was an accident, but it’s hard to understand how you can do that! I guess Kobe put his hand through a window “while cleaning the garage.” So a screwdriver through a hand taking out wax from a candle is totally possible. Look for him to be sidelined…

Getting towards Christmas… David and Sun-min check out the drawings at gr/eats. So far we have 40, making it a 1/20 chance of winning. The final judging is going to happen soon after the 30th – the cut off date to enter the Draw Babo contest. You still have ample time. Things are looking good. In the foreground, these look like the flowers Tray holds on the t-shirt! Pablo walking Kaulana and Primo. These are Akitas. Primo is the old man. Fabian on the Blackberry. Enough said. This is what the day was like. That’s Kyle on the left. Like a where’s Waldo drawing, find Martin! He’s in it.

Goddamn her. If I had Trump change, I’d probably sue Rosie too just so I could take a few dollars from her “fat ass”. Her “Chinese” act is screwed up. If I had to energy of Donald Trump., I’d dig into truckdriver talkin’ Rosie too. It’s gotta be easy.

Dirty Hands, the movie about David Choe. That’s Harry Kim, the filmmaker and we were in his apartment to do one last interview before the film could be cut and done. There’s a trailer at the site, you should check out. I guess it’s an honor being part of David’s life. From the first days we met to Comicon in 1997 or 8 and actually even before that at a Sunsets screening. Yes, Dave saw the film and talked to me then in SF. Being the last piece of the film I guess I was there to cover some things we might have missed from the earlier interviews. David’s had early exhibitions, illustrations, and friendships with me/us here at GR. I hope I don’t look too much like an idiot. The camera Harry is using is some newer Sony camera that’s tiny. It looks like a regular home video camera, but it’s not. It’s tiny too. 6 years in the making, and it’ll be done in 2007, hope we can be a part of that.

Back to Santouka. Shio ramen for Mr Bevry. Can’t hold back on the ramen. The key is the “special pork”. That’s what it looks like, and it’s incredibly tender and amazing. It’s different than the single slice of pork you get with the ramen, which is thin and more fatty. This is dense, probably cooked in a broth since it’s nearly falling apart. It’s a bit pricey, at something like $9 or $10 for the large, so my suggestion is to bring a friend and split the extra pork, it’s a lot for one person. 2 visits and so far, stellar both times. I’m now thinking the medium or regular is the right size to get. The soup is rich and it might be too much to take in for a large. I wonder why the heck, do I see bowls of half eaten ramen there when I leave?
