Red Lobster...

...is no longer on my list of good places to eat. EVERYTHING was too salty! And... does anyone like deviled crab? It tasted so... bleh. Everything is WAY too expensive for the food you get. I guess this may just apply to my neighborhood Red Lobster.

Oh! And our waiter was HORRIBLE! He kept going away and not coming back... we didn't get our drinks until practically half way through the meal! And he brought my sister's food later than everyone else's... and it was COLD! So she sent it back to be re-heated or whatever and when he came back he spilled some water on her or something. Then he went away again. And so when he passed by the table (without even looking in our direction) she glared at him -- GW fans take note: this was an all-out, full-blown Yuy-Glare-of-Death™.

I mentioned to my mother that she looked like she wanted to jump across the table and claw the waiter's face off. But later she told me that what she really wanted to do was jump on him and stab him to death with a dull knife.

Do you think we're violent...?

...nah.

But other than that, it was a great dinner. Amazingly, there was NO fighting whatsoever. No arguments, no yelling, no snide comments flying back and forth across the front lines. I think that's got to be one of the very, very few times that's ever happened. Definitely a moment worth remembering.

I will say this for that Red Lobster -- they had good music. It wasn't the typical mainstream/pop/boy-band/teen-girl-singer garbage they usually play. Actually, they had quite a few good songs. I think it must have been an older CD selection that they were playing, though. It had Melissa Ethridge, Oasis, I think Collective Soul. Not awesome selections (nothing great like NIN or Metallica, mochiron) but they were respectable.

Well... back to playing C-23 with my sister (Elizabeth).

Dancing behind the racks...

...isn't very professional. But when you turn out the lights at work and no one can see you... it's irresistible! LOL. Today was a good day at work, even if it is the day before a holiday. I made enough to justify my working today (which is what I was a bit worried about) and -- aside from the few people who came into the store -- it was quite dead. So no one came in to bother me with "What? This is how much? Isn't that kind of expensive?" I really hate that. o.O*

So... I spent the day online. Isn't that horrible? ::snicker:: Didn't feel like reading (or writing) fics, didn't feel like doing much of anything, but somehow I ended up transliterating a few of the songs on my new Koyasu CD "STELLA". And then I uploaded them to my website [http://www.geocities.com/koyasunomiko].

I'm in a good mood. I'm surprised. I mean, I was in a good mood earlier, but now I feel even better. Do you think it's because it's closing time? Maybe. Also, the phone call from Angelica cheered me up a bit. (I feel like it was a bit of noblesse oblige because I kind of complained earlier that she never calls me back, but... you take what you can get, ne? ^_~)

Okay, off to Chinatown. Ja na!

Damn this is addictive!

I mean, I was online, minding my own business... slowly running out of things to do. Do I want to read my mail? No. Do I want to read a fic? No.

I finished checking the new messages at Phoenixfeather's "The Horde" message board. I finished talking with a friend -- Louie! -- 'cause she signed off. I finished putting up an auction for Angelica. I already have one up for myself & don't feel like putting up another one at the moment. ::sigh:: What to do now?

Well... one week ago I would've just signed off. But now? No, I can just go over to livejournal.com and write in my journal! It calls to me... "Waste time! You have nothing better to do!" ...and I give in. Pathetic, ne?

Oh well. I'm going to sign off & read some before I go to bed. Sharon Green's 2nd book in The Blending Enthroned series? Or David Weber's latest in the Honor Harrington series, Ashes of Victory? Choices, choices.

Maybe I'll let you know what I chose next time I succumb... uh, I mean, update this journal.
