the Pub

[asterrrrion]

I'm french and I'm also an Ace Attorney fan.

The thing is, I have NEVER before today interacted with the french part of this fandom, I've never even seen screenshots of the french translation before today.

And let me tell you, my shock when I learned that they changed the name of Miles Edgeworth to Benjamin Hunter

I-

Benjamin.

I have no idea how that name is perceived in English speaking countries but let me tell you : in french it does NOT send Miles Edgeworth vibes. (Could be worse : his name in Portuguese is Eduardo. I laughed over this for 30 minutes.)

Like there's no way I can buy the Apollo remaster now, how am I supposed to take him even the slightest bit seriously??

Some names are good in french, Larry to Paul is a great transition, Lotta to Eva is good and I approve of Ron being an Henri, Gaspen Payne being named Oscar makes me extremely happy, Simon to Raphaël isn't that bad of a change even if Simon is like also an actually perfectly respectable french name (weirdly enough Raphaël is starting to grow on me, seems like an edgy name now that I've finished reading Balzac).

But Vérité for Trucy ?? (Vérité literally is Truth and has never been a name in any circle ever) mean come on, Trucy sounds at least cute.

DeKiller's John Doe being transformed into Alonso Bistro feels criminal (Alonso Bistro isn't an equivalent to John Doe, it's 1) not an actual name and 2) it's literal translation is Letsgoto Thepub), and in a general way the emphasis on puns way more than in the English version kinda pisses me off. Like Dick Gumshoe is funny while actually suiting the character, Dick Tektiv is funny but less so and also the Dick part is untranslatable.

Another thing that pisses me off !! They don't actually translate names that could be translated easily ! Like Apollo is still Apollo even though he should definitely be called Apollon (to make the ridiculousness of his name actually come across), why bother translating Edgeworth's name at all if it's to give him an english surname ? Why's Pearl still Pearl if she literally could be called Perle ? Why bother translating Joe Darke into Joe Sinister dude you could've just said Joe Sinistre and it would've been ten times funnier. Why ruin April May's name by saying Masha Vril even though Avril is an actual name even if it's rare ?

Worst part is though : they changed Klavier's name to fucking Konrad. That one I'm afraid I can't forgive.

Forward to thePub past!

I’m in Birmingham, Britain’s Second City and my beloved (if neglectful!) hometown. I love that there are still vibrant old pubs on old trading routes. Like this, The Packhorse, in Hollywood, a few miles from Birmingham city centre, on the old route to Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and ultimately London. Updated from the 1800’s but still it still feels aptly named. And it also still feels miles…

She suggested I buy her a drink.

 I shouldn't have, but I was quite drunk, and she was quite pretty.

Today was a real doozy. It was the conference finals for NFL, and although I didn’t particularly care for either team, I found myself really wanting to watch football. I did all of my exercise early in the morning, and set out on a quest to find the perfect spot to watch the game – hence the reason for all of the entries marking today’s celebration of the Rams vs. 49ers and the Chiefs vs. the Bengals. I had a pretty strong start to the day, considering that I was off on this adventure alone. It was not all without disappointment, of course – two entries didn’t make it on today’s blog, strictly because I was in there for a total of 5 minutes and decided that I didn’t like the vibe at either place, although I was able to catch critical moments of each game.

Sunday’s lately have been a vibe; I’ve finally relented a bit with my militant exercise regime in that I’ve been allowing myself to gorge on the weekends to keep my body confused. So, today I did just that. In total, I went to 5 separate spots and will be reviewing 3 of them for the quality of the food: The Pub, Patsy’s Laguna Niguel, and Sergeant Pepperoni’s Pizza for my weekly “I kill a whole pizza” challenge. I enjoyed my time at all three locations, and the people and crowds were nice. Mostly, though, I found myself feeling pretty empty, given the events of the previous 3 days. I found myself on the end of another blocking, this time at the hands of my ex-fiance – she was in one of her BPD swings, and while I tried to disarm via text, it ended up having the opposite effect. Not to mention – she ended up sending me a pretty vile letter not long after, and it was a pretty toxic occurrence in general. The food was a welcome reprieve filled with catharsis, if I’m being honest – but I just didn’t  want to be alone in watching football, so I found myself continually moving to find my place.

Let’s get right into it; The Pub is a dive bar located just off of the 5 that I discovered a couple of months ago. It’s mostly a quiet place, but they advertise themselves as a sports bar. I’ve only been one other time (the second time I went they were closed for New Years) and the bartender there was really pretty. We enjoyed nice conversation, so I’ve been drawn back to this place hoping to talk with her again at some point. Alas – it wasn’t meant for today. I was starving and didn’t know what I wanted to eat – my bartender recommended the wings.

I mean, come on – have you ever seen such gorgeous chicken wings? Not only were they massive and juicy (this was a portion of 4, and I felt full after I was done) but they were perfectly sauced and fried. If you like good chicken wings – this is your spot. The only reason I give them a 26/30 on the Depression Oatmeal scale is because it’s kind of a dimly lit and quiet place. I wish more people frequented the location, if not just for the food. However, they make great and affordable drinks, so I can’t really fault them there. They also serve pizza – I’ve heard it’s good, and I’m going to have to give it a try sometime. Their food can be ordered for pick-up or delivery via DoorDash, and their website indicates you can order food there too – but I have yet to try it. Regardless – if you’re looking for a quiet place to watch the game with good food and attentive servers/bartenders, this is your spot. I will likely keep coming from for the wings and a chance at romance with a bartender.

After two failed adventure spots and a disappointing attempt at spontaneity, I ended up at one of my old watering holes – Patsy’s in Laguna Niguel. Sadly – it was also quiet and dimly lit, although I also had a chance to speak with some of the patrons and we had fun. I usually come here for Irish holidays or on Saturday nights where they have a live DJ, but the crowd is older and sometimes the scene is a little disappointing. What isn’t disappoint is the food: this place HITS. It doesn’t matter what you get, honestly – bar bites or some of the Irish fare. I have literally never had a bad meal here, and recommend the corned beef brussels sprouts or the pub pretzel. The shephard’s pie and any burger is also noteworthy. Today, I got the tempura green beans (pictured below) because I had already plowed through a giant order of 4 chicken wings and was still dreaming of pizza. The green bean fry was mediocre, but the green beans themselves were fresh and the sauce – oh my god, the SAUCE. It was so damn good! I could have put back a cup of this stuff, not even kidding. It was like a salty sweet spicy mayo mix of some kind and perfectly cut through the richness of the fried green beans. I’d order them again just for the sauce, even if I thought the green beans were a tad on the greasy side. Patsy’s also gets a 26/30 on the Depression Oatmeal scale because of the fact that you can’t order delivery and getting a pick-up order is also a pain in the ass (you have to call). I would have expected that they would have adapted a little bit better to the pandemic – but this is South County, after all, and a not-so-small portion of the population believes in conspiracy theories and that COVID is a lie. You can see their calendar of events and other things using the website provided.

 Finally, when I had given up on watching football for the day I had a big decision to make: what pizza was I going to destroy to cap off the evening? I went bold – there’s a New York pizza place that’s never to Aliso Viejo called Sergeant Pepperoni’s Pizza that is actually really good. The problem I’ve mostly had with it is that they sell their pizza’s in one size (or so I thought) – 18 inches. They’re quite large, and even with a thin crust that’s an impressive feat. I had already eaten quite a bit, but I looked at their menu anyway (they offer delivery and pick-up via GrubHub, DoorDash, and their website which I’ve provided above) and I was shocked to find that they actually sell a 14” pizza. However – some of their finer menu options aren’t available (K-pie: go look it up and order it immediately if you’re trying to feed a family of 3-4). I didn’t mind this in the slightest because the offerings that they did have were still extremely palatable. I ordered the Hawaii Five-O, a delicious pizza topped with pepperoni, pineapple, sweet NY ricotta, fresh garlic, and jalapenos. I was, as Guy Fieri likes to put it, “taken to flavortown,”. I have ordered this pizza again and again, and it never disappoints. It’s extremely satisfying, the blend of spicy, sweet, and salty. I would say that it’s better than the similar pie I order from Tony Pepperoni’s, and priced at a similar cost for more pizza. Speaking of which – the difference between 12” and 14” is extreme. Let’s not kid ourselves, fellas. I felt grossly full and accomplished after devouring the whole thing. You should give it a try – it’s great for Olympic food training.

Ass 3 Concept Statement

So the concepts we were exploring with our Pub Birthday Expedition were community/collaboration and also glitch. We knew that the 20-person group video chat wouldn't be easy to communicate on, and that would make talking a bit scattered (especially since we were only using that to communicate), and the whole event was based on voluntary group involvement (no one was compelled to come to the pub or join in on the celebration).

We wanted to explore the concept of birthdays on Facebook, and the limited & restricted interactions we usually have with them. So often people are satisfied with just posting a "HBD" or something similar for a friend's birthday, and we wanted to observe what everyone's interactions would be with each other together and also with Jackson on his birthday.

We also thought it would be interesting to have everyone interacting individually with the whole event through their own phone even when we could easily just have everyone be there physically. This was to demonstrate how it would be if we were all only interacting over Facebook (a digital disconnect).

the Pub

It is a cornucopia of wordplays, wisecracks, and slapstick repetitions, many of which are either untranslatable or else require so much explanation as to be tedious.[1]Joy we should spread: sadness, prune back as much as we can.[2]

Each drinks his full measure, whatever the size of his glass: every being has what it is.[3]

The energy of things goes in: disturbances of the air, shocks and vibrations, heat, alcohol or ether salts, photons.[4] Emotional and uplifting like a West End musical – yet different.[5]
