Mid Week Update: Tea Bitch Edition
Feb 21st 2008
Last night Wassy came over for the usual mid-week stuff. This time around we went out to dinner at Applebee's. I had shrimp for the first time. They were fairly tasty, but there was a little too much there on the plate for my taste. After that we went back to my place to hang out and watch some Slayers (more anime…she's totally corrupted me).
She's started calling me her "Tea Bitch" because whenever she's over I make her a cup of green tea since she seems to like my tea prep techniques and the resulting tea. I don't mind doing it because I can finally make something for somebody that they actually enjoy eating/drinking. I do like my green tea…glad other people do as well. So much healthier than the cup of hot coco I'd probably be drinking otherwise. I made her some White Monkey and I made myself some Casablanca Twist.
We also talked about about the total lack of a ticket sale date for the Progressive Nation show that we're planning on going to in May. It's one of the few shows on the tour that haven't gone up yet, which figures since that's the one we wanted to see. I'm getting a little antsy to just get tickets so I no longer need to worry about checking ticketmaster every 30 seconds.
Pen People
Feb 14th 2008
Wassy was over last night, as generally happens on Wednesday nights these days. And, as also generally happens, we ended up at Applebee's for dinner.
This story requires a little bit of explaining: Usually when we go out to eat, we get separate checks. We both pay by some form of a credit/debit card, which means that we both need to sign the recipts. 99% of the time, they only bring 1 pen to the table along with the 2 checks. And since we're both very mature and reasonable adults…we usually lunge for the single pen as soon as it hits the table in order to aquire it first.
A couple weeks ago, the waitress didn't drop the pen quick enough and I jumped the gun, grabbing it from her hand, a fact which will become important later. Last night, as mentioned before, we went to Applebee's, got seperate checks and again, 1 pen. The waitress set it down and waited for a second at the table. We both lunged at the pen (Wassy got it first…blast!) and the waitress said "Ooooh, you're the people who fight over the pen!"
We need to find a new place to eat. Now we're the crazy pen people at Applebee's.
