I just went to Applebees, purely to humor my roommate, as Applebees is not one of the great meccas of vegetarianism. And for good reason, it would appear.
First, although I distinctly ordered a Cowboy Burger with a gardenburger patty and no bacon, it arrived with bacon embedded in the cheese and in the bread. Meanwhile, the people one table over were complaining about cold food.
The poor server brought me another burger after apologizing and assuring me that he had told them to leave off the bacon. The new baconless burger didn't have the "onion peels" on it (they really ought to call them something else; who wants to eat onion peels?). Apparently they were out of onion peels, and two of their cooks had just walked out. Also, the new burger came garnished with just one tomato slice, which was roughly the size of a half dollar.
The people one table over were having a crisis which grew to involve two more servers and the manager. And possibly a baby being born (one of the women at the table was very pregnant). I was trying not to look.
My gardenburger was so overcooked that it was pretty much inedible. It managed to be both chewy and rubbery. And there was a hair twined through the cheese that was not mine.
People at other tables were being comped things by the manager. Our server, who was obviously repressing a hysterical breakdown, tried to charge me for two Cowboy Burgers, although he did give me $4.00 off for the inconvenience of the bacon incident. I didn't have the heart to tell him about the hair.
We got the bill straightened out, and I rewarded myself with what turned out to be a really good Irish coffee. Our server apologized profusely for everything. We tipped him well, as people from other tables were glaring at him for laughing with us.
I have a feeling the manager was really very busy.
I also have a feeling that I will not eat at Applebees again.

I have always wanted a planet Zeist icon. Well, "always" in a relative sense. I feel so fulfilled now. Or not. But I'm amused, anyway. If you can't laugh at such an incredibly bad moment in movie history, what kind of life do you lead? A sad, sad one.
I'm done rambling now.

I wanted to scan my wooden pseudo-historical spork and make some sort of psuedo-historical spork icon, but my scanner will not scan unless the lid is flat. Woe, woe, and again, woe.

You know, just for the entertainment I have had in making the icons for this journal, it was worth getting. And the wank. There's always the wank.
I need some sort of snarky HP icon, of course. I'd like it to be Ravenclaw somehow, but that might be difficult to arrange. Hrm.

So... anyone wanna animate an icon for me? ;)
I have room for 11 more after that, so then what? Hm... Something Harry Potter, perhaps? Definitely Urinetown, maybe Big River, LOTR might be nice. Mark Twain and Jane Austen have some fun things to say, too.
Suggestions? Insanity? Insane suggestions? After Freponine, it's all downhill from here. (Speaking of, a Two Guys at Harvard icon might be entertaining.)

Here I am. Wheee. Now to play with the settings. Won't that be exciting?
Ok, done talking to myself.
