Hello, weekend!!

Finally, the weekend is here. It sure was a grueling week. At least we didn't have to work any overtime....this week.

Haven't really been watching tv. Everything is crap right now so I don't even bother turning the tv on. Except on Friday evenings when I watch Doctor Who. The new season is under way so there are new episodes every friday. This past one was pretty good when the doctor and donna travel to the 51st century and he meets his future companion traveler. He didn't know at first but she did and eventually she told him everything. Apparently they must be close because she knew his name (not "doctor") and he said there's only one reason why he would ever tell someone his real name....hhmm....

Last night ventured out and went out for indian food. There's this new restaurant in our neighborhood called "Mela's" and we wanted to try it out. Turns out it's pretty good. The food was good and the place was good. It's like the Olive Garden of indian food. We ended up shelling out $45 for the night but it was worth it. I give it a thumbs up.

Friday for lunch, sylvia, monica and i went to Bill Miller's. Last time we were there the brisket was kinda overcooked, rubbery but yesterday it looked fresh and tasted nice and tender. The place was buzzing probably because it was friday and probably payday for some people. All in all it was also a pleasant experience. The service was fast and they got the order right. Yea...unlike last Friday when we went to Pizza Hut.....that was a terrible experience. We went to the one here on Callaghan and 410. The place was full and they only had one server. The idiot lady didn't even write down our order and we had to repeat ourselves 4 times, the last time i practically yelled at her. she still got the order wrong. We waited 15 minutes to order, and it wasn't until 30 minutes later that the got our food. Actually, someone else's food and it took another 10 minutes for the right order to arrive. Man, talk about lousy service. I dropped an email to the manager to complain but i haven't heard anything...yet. They'll get to me eventually because last time we went to The Black Eyed Pea and the same thing happened. The waitress sat us and forgot about us. We had to flag down another waiter to get some service. Eventually the manager called me and i told him what happened. Sometimes you have bad experiences and sometimes you have worse. The worse has been at Pollo Loco where we've tried to eat there about 3 times already. Tried because every time we go in and try to eat there we are ignored by the employees because they are short staffed and are working the drive thru. Talk about rude.

Last weekend we went to see the new Adam Sandler movie, You Don't Mess With the Zohan. I have to admit that it was original and funny but definitely not the best movie I've seen all year but it was alright. I don't expect much when I go watch a movie these days.
