Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Old school podcast. I don’t remember ever listening to it, much less remembering it. I remember the interviewer, Anne Sophie Lowenberg (I think that’s how we spell it), and maybe it was at the issue 33 Giant Robot 10 years show… I think. Sexy Beijing is China’s #1 internet show. Not sure if that’s true. Anyways, check it out.

George Takei talks to me on friday. Weird how I have a photo of it, right? It was fun catching up with George "sulu" Takei and it's a shame I'm missing him in London by a day, he started making a bunch of plans to be my tour guide for a day, until we realized, we'll have to catch up back here in LA. George used to live in London, and did pro theater there as well. He's in England for a Star Trek...

George Takei talks to me on friday. Weird how I have a photo of it, right? It was fun catching up with George “sulu” Takei and it’s a shame I’m missing him in London by a day, he started making a bunch of plans to be my tour guide for a day, until we realized, we’ll have to catch up back here in LA. George used to live in London, and did pro theater there as well. He’s in England for a Star Trek convention, of course. In this pic he was shooting a get out and vote PSA with Kelly Hu. Tammy from Donutman. She speaks fast, moves fast, and is hyper and funny at 4am. I wonder if she burns that bright 24-7. She’s a baker, and each baker there does a few things differently. There’s one who makes the apple fritters as big as a tire. I pointed out that her fritters were much smaller. She seems to love donuts and told me that Jim’s been baking and sometimes, admits he forgot how to make a few things. She told me that Jim the Donutman eat 4 donuts a day. Jim told me he has just 1! Dressed for the occasion. Donutman. At 4am, only a suit and tie will do.Actually earlier Saelee Oh and I attended a dinner that had gambling. Those photos are on my dead battery camera. I’ll put up a few shots later. Strawberry donuts are actually refreshing. I’m an addict and this is the third time I’ve had it, since it started this season. Little Wings went on at 1:30a The funniest parts is when he played while the funky trailers were running. He’d start laughing when they went over the top-which was often. The sad thing is that I remember this movie trailer as a kid. This was at the Silent Movie Theater, post movie screening.

I sometimes respond to important points when they're brought up on my blog as comments. My opinion is that if someone is going to comment publicly on my on blog, I have the right to answer publicly on my blog. So here goes the first part, their comment:

why are you calling a person "it"? last i checked, dehumanization wasn't funny. if s/he is presenting a female gender, "her" would be more...

I sometimes respond to important points when they’re brought up on my blog as comments. My opinion is that if someone is going to comment publicly on my on blog, I have the right to answer publicly on my blog. So here goes the first part, their comment:why are you calling a person “it”? last i checked, dehumanization wasn’t funny. if s/he is presenting a female gender, “her” would be more appropriate.same goes for your more recent blog post. This person is an “it” for many reasons. 1) We don’t know if it (that person) is a male or female. What do you do then? If you think they deserve “that person”. Read on.2) Because “this person” wears a wig, that doesn’t denote a male or female. It could be a disguise, denoting a “neither”. “This person” may not want their gender to be known.3) Humor sometimes is crass. But if it wasn’t crass, it wouldn’t be humor.4) “This person” probably drinks and therefore drives, and therefore unleashes the worst smelling piss ever.5) I’ve had two years of compassion. And if “this person” is going to dump piss in front of my house for two years (they could just pour it on the tree or something), not use a trash can not 30 feet away, litter, and possibly drinks and drives, then “IT” is an appropriate call out to me since this person is already an hourly misdemeanor offender and possibly a felon.
