baladie...

I'm going to cross this joint off my list of places I frequent.

On Friday, I had one of their gyros and it just wasn't very good in my view and after I consumed the thing, I felt queasy. That's not a good thing...

To me, Baladie's gyro is more like a burrito than the gyro served @ Ayola a couple doors down.

The selling point with Baladie is that it's open later than Ayola.

But, that doesn't factor in anymore...

defriending someone on facebook...

I've been dropped as a friend three times on facebook. I posted about two of my disposals. The other was puzzling, but when I thought about, I said to myself, "I don't give a fuck!" There was no need to mention it or write about it...

I dropped someone five hours ago because I don't really care for the person. That's the bottom line- simple as that. I could elaborate more on the subject, but I won't...

For awhile there, I was in an accumulate friends on facebook mode. Now, it's I should concentrate more on my blog...

And, the way I write, I'm becoming a twitter guy...

Meaning, my limited writing skills are better served on twitter...

norm van lier...

Van Lier along with Jazz coach Jerry Sloan formed one of the toughest backcourts of all-time with the Chicago Bulls. Skill wise they were good, but in terms of sheer tenacity, I don't think any guard combo came close...

Norm Van Lier passed away @ age 61 on Thursday. May Norm rest in peace...

lemon chicken...

The best I've had thus far is @ R&G Lounge on Kearny.

artichoke joe's...

I used to think that the wings @ this joint were the best around. Now, I have to give it to Dan Marino's in the Hooter's Casino in Vegas. Go to DM's from 12am to 6am and order 20 wings for $5. They're phenomenal! But, there can be a significant wait...

Just finished playing poker @ AJ's and I won!

I was just lucky, that's all...

I used to think I was a good poker player- the more I play, I lousier I get...

megane...

There was a Japanese film @ Sundance in 2008 called MEGANE, which means eye glasses. I reviewed this film on my blog...

I'm virtually useless without my reading glasses. When I forget them, I'm really out of sync...

This post is to remind me to always bring my reading glasses when I leave my pad.

And to purchase @ least another pair...

Also, don't forget your headphones...

amy's cafe...

It's on 357 Kearny a few doors from Pine. Yesterday was a holiday and basically nothing was open on that weekday eatery oasis of Kearny from Sutter to Pine.

Amy's had a different name and I haven't been to the joint since it changed owners.

They make a very good pizza there. I had the combo special which includes the pizzeta of the day, insalata mista, and a soft drink.

Yesterdays special was ground beef, green pepper, and onion. I skipped the onion. The special costs $8.70.

The crust is good. The cat who owned the place before had a ridiculously inexpensive meal deal that was about 5 bucks- a pizzeta and a soft drink.

Anyway, I'll be back...
