Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
This came out today at mediarights.org. It’s a life of documentaries that I suggest. I probably have seen 3 or 4 more that should be in it. I think the idea is this list should be a starting point of discussion. Maybe some of you disagree with some of these are being good ones, but it’s what inspires me. Check out the list, and maybe comment and add other ones. Docs are fun, and it seems like people are giving them more notice lately. Mediarights.org.

Japan Airlines is a pretty good airline. Seafood curry works, and they even give you the fukujinzuke (red pickles) to eat with it. Seems like one that you shouldn’t blow, and they didn’t. The green salad is pedestrian, that was probably made in LA. The salmon was great as was the fish cake, and the burdock root. The dessert was fluffy and not too sweet. All this was an encouraging start to a long trip. I’m surprised at how decent this was. I got hungry and asked for snacks, here’s what they brought. 1) I got a toothbrush, since I forgot mine. 2) the Coca Cola cup actually has their special Yuzu beverage, which is quite nice. It’s not too sweet. One the left is their no frills rice cracker mix, which is great. Then it’s a two piece fancier rice cracker bag, then a granola, and then potato sticks! This meal didn’t work for me, I don’t dig the pasta cream sauce along with the chicken. But the small container of noodles were good. Potato salad and fish, and the fruit was all fine. Pryor takes it off with Dehara and Yoko. They all drink a lot. Since Michelle is vegan, this is what she gets. Rabbit food. At a bar in Golden street area… There’s maybe 100 bars in the area, most are tiny, but this one was a cool one. Dehara is a good sport and if you haven’t, check out his work at gr2.

I'm at LAX looking at books for a second, then I see this one. It's Jacob Magraw art on the cover. I thought about buying it, but I'm already holding two. The name of the author makes me think he must be from that Nordic area of the Reindeer people. Congrats Jacob for the book, and his new baby along with Rachell Sumpter, Mica Ruth Mickelson. Next stop for me: Tokyo.
