No Excuse Today

I actually have a good excuse for why my post is a day late, and also why when it comes, it ends up completely lame.  But I’m not going to tell you why.  You’ll just have to wait until Tuesday, when my life makes more sense.

But here are some quick thoughts on the less crazy, random stuff I did this week:

The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventures by Dave Stevens is, if possible, even more ridiculous than the movie, with the least likeable hero and love interest I could possibly picture.

I’m always a week behind on Masterchef because I don’t watch television and  I refuse to pay for Hulu+—seriously, why am I paying to still watch advertisements?  Besides, Netflix is enough.  So although I haven’t seen the latest episode, I did get to watch the episode where they brought back three contestants to try out for a second chance, and I’m really happy that it was Bri who won her apron back for a shot at the title.  I hope she takes Krissi down.

I’m trying to eat out less, especially with money coming up very tight.  But after volunteering to help clean the Sacramento Temple last night, I was hungry and a couple friends invited me along to Old Spaghetti Factory.  Never been, I’ve been led to understand that it’s a chain, and frankly, I was very impressed.  Twelve dollars got me a three-course meal, from a delicious minestrone soup, a beautiful chicken parmigiana and spaghetti, and a small serving of vanilla ice cream.  And we got to eat in a trolley.  How awesome is that?  This brings the number of restaurants I would want to bring a date to up to two.

Yes, I am that fussy.  No apologies for it, either.
