saturday, went down to casa de woody in bakos. bbq, met some of their friends, and played a little cards. didn't play that well, chased too many bad hands. stupid. still had a decent time though.
today, two friends got baptized, and after we went out to a local restaurant, the service was crappy, and the waiter told me that they didn't serve a particular drink that i've had there several times. stoopid. in his defense, that particular drink was seasonal, and it's not currently in stock. but, he tried to tell me that he's worked there a year, and they've never ever had it. now, i know that i had not only this year's, but also last year's batch.
another interesting thing this weekend, i ran into two old friends. friday, as we were leaving veni's, i ran into big dave. small talk, exchange numbers, check you later. tonight, we tried to get a table, but none were avail. @ one place, so we were heading out to another place (where we got crap for service). but, i ran into my buddy theo, who i haven't seen since midway through college. small talk, trade numbers and so on. i really hope to catch up with both of these two at laters times.
yet another interesting thing, the dr. on the stupid carl's jr commercial for "naturally bigger chicken breast sandwiches" is a real plastic surgeon. i saw him on some program. cable's full of good stuff.
finally, tonight i watched a program about the '06 north american international auto show. lots of cool cars. best of show went to this one:
this is the concept for the new camaro. sick throwback to the early camaro models. i think i'm in lust.

ed, homeboy was worse after you left. he was bringing back change and didn't bring dave his...he had some excuse about thinking that that end of the table was together or that he had left with kendall's family...so he asked dave if he wanted him (the waiter) to bring his change. dave said no. now i don't know how much change dave was getting back, but what a joke!
wow. what a stinky waiter. that poor of service makes me not want to go back. or, at least not use the waiters.
for a long time we wouldn't use the waitresses @ landmark because they stunk so bad. they've gotten better, and now i don't always order @ the bar. just most of the time.
of course, this is much more difficult if you're ordering dinner.
oh, and becky, you're welcome. it wasn't planned. i was surprised, but very honored to take part in the event. and, i thought it was a cool, special touch having you pray for kendall.
Me too!
Sorry about the bad service, not that it was my fault... but that stinks. I must have been oblivious to it though. I had no idea.
it was sort of spotty. like, jason's fries sucked (no garlic on garlic fries), mike had to ask for water twice, the waiter gave jason's water to you, he didn't know where any drink or food order went, and the already mentioned problems. but, it seemed like he did alright on your end of the table.
i think that some waiters may not try as hard if they've got the gauranteed 15% tip due to a big party, but others still do a great job. this guy seemed content to do a less than average job, in my opinion.
