Marcus R.'s Profile

One thing that people in other parts of the Bay Area complain about in regards to people in San Francisco is they rarely venture from the city.
(I live in Daly City)
In the minds of the San Francisco city folk they think the East Bay is a vast wasteland of Olive Gardens and tire shops.

I am so thrilled to be proved wrong about the Trappist.
First off it is located near BART. Do not drive. Trust me, do not drive!!

I got lost and it was still easy to find and I did not have to sit on the bridge.
Take BART.

Each and every beer I had was REALLY good. At around $6 per beer it is well worth it considering that at the Chevys in South San Francisco, Budweiser is $4.60, $1.40 for a couple of steps on the beer quality ladder is well worth it.

Clean bathrooms! Gnomes!

One of my new favorite places.

Was a good experience getting my 40 shirts cleaned!

My digital camera battery died so the doggies of Chestnut street would not get there picture taken!
So I went and they recharged the camera and remembered I had bought the camera a year and a half ago!

So finding an Orthopedic was a veery Web 2.0 experience.
I was running with my iPod Nike + when I sprained my ankle.

My facebook status said I sprained my ankle and wanted advice..
They told me I should get it checked out.

I looked on Yelp and found this (Thank You)

Over night it got way worse...

Had to crawl around my apartment and try to use brooms/mops/gold clubs as canes...

Called the place and I was able to get an appointment.

Now the next part of this review would make you think this does not sound like a 5 Star review but looking at the situation, I think I have no one but myself to blame.

I crawled/hopped to my car and then crawled/hopped from the parking lot to the office and it was a bit further away. In retrospect I should have gotten someone to drive me. Eventually someone got me a wheelchair and rolled me in.

They X Rayed and hooray no broken ankle! I was in/out within 30 minutes with an aircast and crutches...

I actually liked this place.
This is the most Ironic place in the Universe. I am NOT making this up as some sort of monkey shine. They are playing two different adult contempary stations.
Wait, I failed to tell you of my discovery (right now it is a mash up of Heart and Linda Rondstant). It is a place called "Danny's" which used to be called Dennys. They serve drinks. I am having a $2.99 Marguita. I do not like these typically but this is simply too odd. Many of the things like straws still have Dennys on it. This is almost a Bizarro Dennys.
Now two different radios are playing Shania Twain and Cindy Lauper. Speaking of buses, Neko Case. Now Duffy is on who would be on the short list of the bus if any year was open.
I will host a Happy Hour here. I am the only person in the joint.  If this place is here in December, I am having my birthday party here. They do not need to turn on that thing in Switzerland (which will end the world so make sure you see The Dark Knight prior). It would be interested if we all got split into hundreds of realities. Now Peter Cetera (from Karate Kid II) and Neil Diamond are playing on the different radio stations. Scratch that, it is Chicago.

I have been a member of Urban Diversion from 2003.
Many of my close friends that I have made over that time have come from doing events through them.

My favorite ones include Volleyball and Urban Golf.

It is well worth the membership fee and the cost for events that I do not have to think of all the planning and cat herding that goes on.

I had some time to kill before meeting some randoms in Berkeley. I saw this store that had all of this really random stuff including what I thought was a robot. Found a jacket that fit me perfectly. I never find vintage/thrift stuff that fit but it was like it was placed there...

So I got my first delivery to my office in Santa Clara.

I open my box and calculate if it was worth the price.
I ordered the mostly fruit box.

When I get home I eat one of the oranges and HOLY MOLY!!
It was the best orange in the history of the world.

The other items (Apples/Pears/Brocolli/) were quite good but the oranges were like from a different planet that gets to watch Frank Chu movies!!

I have a hate/tolerate relationship with Costco.
I went to buy a case of wine and they had the box cut half open.

Long queues with many unopened registers = contempt for customers

I then requested a non cut open wine box and they could not helpt me out.

I am going to something odd and give this place 5 stars.
You may wonder, am I being blackmailed by grimace?

No, No, No.
I am rating it for providing me with what I needed for a fun little science project where I took a Hamburger, Chicken McNuggets and French Fries and putting them in foil for a month to see what happens.

So I did not eat here. But for less than $5 I got the items I needed for the experiment.
