I did not learn the first time

to NOT look up resturants when hungry :(

Slightly peeved I missed out on DC's resturant week (I read the Washington Post-I did not see any ads!). Well guess I'll just have to see it in August.

But thanks to JM (again!) finding all sorts of places I would LOVE to try in my area! And they do accept walk-ins! Weeeee!! (just fine for a single person)

Place to stop by for help finding the best wherever you may live is:

My thoughts exactly...


"Finally, when it comes to this blog, people come for the mock but stay for the food pics."

Thank you JM

(this blog referring to JM's blog not this one)

Don't look up restaurants when semi-hungry

Made that mistake this afternoon. For the heck of it-decided to look up a few of the restaurants JM has talked about. Can't say I'd have a problem with any of them but damm I surely couldn't go to them alone. :(
Shoot!

I take all JM's sugguestions but just not sure about frog legs. But then I've never had foie gras either and that I'd actually try so I guess frog legs would be no problem. Would love to try truffles though. Like that will happen!!

Guess I should have looked up the books instead. And watch an episode of "Extras"-first one of Season one. Hmm, I didn't get it.

Them *beeping* bastards are doing it AGAIN! Confirmed!!

(on the flying chance in hell someone besides me reads this-HAHAHAHAH-remember my opinion, my view, etc.)

The PTB somewhere along the line of communication. I'm going to believe from what I've recently read (thank you JM-I don't read your blog for this info-HONEST!) it is
NOT (well at least one!) the PTB within the show. Though some might say, its due to the writng , etc. Well yeah but to a point. Though with the internet-marketing has changed alot.
And internet marketing works! See ADB as an example (though those all important "connections" helped a think a wee bit more)

But SEE I'm right! But it just can't be those hmpfts over at SciFi-other networks, etc must do it too. But then I've only see it happen with SciFi and syndication shows don't figure in (though EFC should have been cancelled after Season 4 BUT somebody HAD TO DO THE "5 season ark")

MAR-KET-ING. Aparently SciFi doesn't have one. Though as I write this beyond them shelled out the $$$ to bring SG-1 to them-what the hell else have they done for it. And the fans still have GROWN big!! F those back yard deals. I'm forgetting who has a bigger "stake" in the Stargate franchise at this point (I think MGM does) so aparently someone thing someone should "pay more" and etc. And the other side thinks the same.

Thats it!! Freaking power playing, money hungry, lazy butts!! I'd LOVE to see both side of this and make a "real" choice. Oh hell, let the fans run an episode one week-see how that goes!

Hmm this kind of stuff gets my goat still!!

PROOF:

"Fans of SG-1 and Atlantis may be excused for not realizing that SciFi intends to air the back halves of both shows this year. A recent ad that aired on NBC showcased the 2007 SciFi line-up - shows like Battlestar, Eureka, Dresden Files, Painkiller Jane. That is all. Hmmm. "

I admit I've have yet to see that promo. Though I do believe the fan know they are, its just those boarder line fan that this is hurting. And they count. This fan knows and let just say-god invent the internet cable modem for a reason. And some of us wouldn't use it for that if you FOBs (that word just came to me-I forget what it really means but its seem to fit here) would air it better!!

The above quote gives me the not a good feeling vibe. Just shows what I've said is true. And I'd tell the PTB (the ones above the ones) this to their face. Its more than one. It has to be!

"put the question to one of the execs who replied: “The problem is we need to give our marketing department something they can get excited about.” I kid you not. Apparently, their weekly paycheck wasn’t enough of a motivation. They needed a bigger buzz. "

Hell! Be thankful you have a job like that! A paycheck is motivation! And I'll gladly take your job if you don't care about it! Given the chance and the job I'd surely put more feeling into it! See hire people that care!!

Ugh!!

Thank you to JM for the above quotes (hope it was ok). All views and how I've posted views of other on this blog are my own. Believe me the people I may quote , well don't know I'm alive much less read this blog. Or any PTB for that matter.

I've got to vent somewhere without being burnt at the stake.

Adding more to the list...

Michel Cluizel discs (can probably enjoy myself) ,Mission Hill ice wine and the movie "The Descent" no way by myself (the movie maybe)! Damm! :) (now I REALLY want to find someone to enjoy this stuff with)

When ever I see a title of a movie spelled along the lines like "The Descent" it always makes me think of this movie "The Descendant". Which was the first movie I had to "time out" when starting as a MCO.

Which is one of two reason I remember it. The other being it is the most gosh awlful movie I have ever seen! Hopefully by now all copies of it have been burnt! (well that copy I watch definaetly had to be trashed by now-it was and ran on 1 inch tape!) Ugh!!

Just had to add that. Thanks JM. Though I wonder, what is it about 99%. Is it better?

Stuff and...

Still smiling after reading JM's lastest blog entry. Ok I'll admit I honestly didn't think he knew how to cook (then what do I know about him?). But then being him-I'd almost go out every night too! (well a thought). Really get a kick out of reading it. Though with this my list of "places must visit in V,BC gets longer. Now I just need to find a dining partner. :)

Hope the dogs ended up being ok. Beyond this-nothing new but trying to work on that dinner partner. :)

Hey I'd pay!

It came to me while...

watching a TV commerical on BBC America this morning (the one selling the "new scrub toliet stuff") that I really wanted to know what the person-who was shooting it was thinking. Now, I don't love that CA or anything but it just dawned on me there.

Was still thinking that when "Touching Evil" came on afterwards. Never thought about that before. Sigh, one day I learn that joy. :) Re-enforces why I what to work "behind the scenes". And just though about it-I get that same feeling (sometimes, well mostly) when reading some stuff off the internet.

Thank guys for the inspration. Though you don't know it.

Bored and...

Well, like thats new. Still have the same thoughts as yesterday. Haven't call her yet (well I could have but when one sleeps during the day and me the afternoon-it kills it.) Saturday next chance.

And that blog I read-well I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want to read tibits. But wish I was one a few that only knew. Though if someone would not have posted the link on a LJ, I'd have never found it.

Love the food aspect. Really. May they keep doing that and hopefully someone out there doesn't ruin it for the rest of us.

And hopefully today when I get home I'll actually do something. And taking the food out of the crockpot is NOT work. Though I have to buy batteries for my evil CD player. No radio in my car (it broke) so I am stuck using a portable CD player and speakers (no I do NOT have an Ipod-yet.) That CD stucks up batteries like nothing! And if new batteries don't work-I am tempted to fling the bloodly thing out the car window. So watch out if you drive 28. :)

Still thinking...

Now I'm at home. Guess New Years put this idea into me. Or actually got me to get it off its butt. To put more effort into what is really important to me. Its not what others (to a point) think. And everyone hears no at least once and awhile.

And you (me) are never bothering anyone when you call them. You can always return the call later. Now I'm not going to anything crazy with that. Though just having the power be nice. Main thing-stiop playing head games because people shouldn't have to play if they don't want too.

Read an entertaining blog entry this AM. LOVED it! Enforces why I love the business. (thats not a head game thing-just you know what I mean :) )

And silly: I don't really care for cinnimon bun instant oatmeal. Too sweet. Off to eat some pork and sauerkraut.

Thoughts and...

Decided this morning that I'll publish more "personally" stuff here then at my LJ. Not that any reads either of them but me still I thinl LJ has a better chance.

Kinda depressed-again. The usual-missing someone, job, reading info, etc. Really thought this morning I should be on something. Just these moods I get in. And decided that the blogs are a REALLY good way to vent, let out stuff when you can't or have no else to talk to.

One thing that depressed me is I know someone that EASELY could call me and tell me stuff. But NOO I've got to read it off the internet. The sucks. This person brought up the idea of POSSIBLY going to BC at someone-which she KNOWS I do, think she can call me and tell me-um thinking about March? Pfft. But I like her, she has good karma and she knows people. That is NOT the reason I want to go with her though. Be nice to go on vacation with someone for once. And $ has nothing to do with it!

Oh and one of my earlier posts-that person is still blogging! LOVE reading it! Entertaining!

Back to work!
