There's only so many quick choices for lunch around here, and Chick-Fil-A is the lesser of many evils and I've had my fill of Subway. I'll go there once or twice each week.

Was it good? I hadn't heard of this place until an advert showed up in the mailbox. Apparently this place is in the Bay Area. A lot of them. Who knew?

I've had Ezell's up in Seattle. Quite good. No coagulated grease lurking beneath the battered skin. They have bread pudding. And those rolls were good, too.

Churches is a lot like Popeyes. Better than KFC, but it's still clearly standard fast food crispy chicken. It wasn't super expensive, which was nice.

Ezell's is incredible. Haven't been there for ages, though...

researching tv's... have to go for something "modest" what with impending financial suicide of child on the way.

but it's painful, every time i look at a TV that is in the "yeah, that's not a bad price" it is ALWAYS situated within viewing distance of the Kuro range which, frankly, take every other tv round the back of the building and fist/pizzle/feltch/beat to death/revive/stick barbed wire up it's anos/frot/bukkake/kill again.

Sigh, so yeah, all i bought was some potatoes and some milk. :/

What's, uh, modest? I have a hard-on for the Samsung 850 series, which will be purchased ASAP when I go home this summer from school.

the definition is "not a Kuro" at the moment.... lol.

I guess i should be aiming for around $2000 and not a $6000 monster.

Mrs C is picking up the tab too :boogie

Seriously, look at the Samsung 850 or 950 models. You can get an 850 46'' for around $2,000 now, and 950 (LED FTW!) for like $2500. I was at best buy the other day and my jaw literally dropped when I saw the 850 running blu-ray. zomg

Yeah, I like those, too. My entire work wardrobe comes from those two stores, but I slightly prefer the BR pants because they're so damn soft and comfortable, and they fit me perfectly.

i had a coupon so i bought The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Quote

Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan
