bored and busy

Monday again. The weekend felt both busy and boring at the same time. Friday night we all went out to celebrate the 01321-birthday a week late. We ate at El Torito, where the service was horrible, but the food was good. I watched Wendy for an idea of how much to tip. Since we all ordered after having to flag down employees who didn't seem to think we wanted to eat, and we were eating spicy food with no drink refills, we decided 10% was good enough. I had a fun time anyway, since we got to hang out with the Neals sitting across from us (and Connor stealing my menu, pushing my water, and grabbing for my rice). It was kind of fun to hang out with Wendy outside of her natural habitat. ;)

After El Torito, a few of us went to Bananas, a little dive of a place in Fullerton. I guess the Karaoke machine wasn't on, so it was pretty low-key, which was okay by me since I was tired after a long week.

Saturday I did laundry, watched The Dirty Dozen, went out to eat with Ric, bought a Wheel of Time companion book (which officially makes me a nerd), and we spent some time reading in the coffee shop at Borders.

Sunday we went to church and then I literally did nothing but read for the rest of the day. I was bored out of my mind. (Miata should be ready for pickup from the shop very soon!) At least with all of this reading, I'll have the next Wheel of Time book done in time for the release of the new Harry Potter book. At the rate I'm going, I may even have time to re-read book 5 to remind myself where the series left off.

That was literally some of the worst service I've ever received. I especially liked the part where she took one persons order and left - flag her down, take another order, and leave not even asking if anyone else wants to order. What was that all about?!

chili's is highly overrated.

Josh would marry Chili's if it weren't for me.

Well then I'd say Josh's taste in food is overrated.

Chilis is awesome for big groups. they always give us free stuff at the one in Cypress. and I like the chicken enchilada soup.

I'm sorry, but "soup" and "enchilada" aren't words that should be used together to describe a single concoction.
