If you've never been, go. Even if you don't like "soul food", go. The food is good, the food is fresh, the service is excellent, and it's served up fast and hot. The only downside is that it can get a bit pricey. Not crazy pricey like some places, but it's not your typical soul food place either.
All the rage lately seems to be the announcement of shows that you can find online. Of course, those are small (resolution-wise), they cost, and the selection isn't large. Are there other options? Of course there are. Channelchooser offers 70 channels of streaming video (via), though you may or may not want what it offers (men in underwear?). Peekvid, meanwhile, offers you television shows (via) - some 700 of them, apparently. But it may or may not be legal. The quality is good, as is the selection. But it might not be around long.
We have finally found another place in Charlotte that has a Sunday brunch buffet. What's better is that they have some of the best desserts in the area (we've been there for these before, we just never realized that they had a Sunday brunch).
In fact, starting at 8am, Pike's offers a breakfast buffet, then at 10am, they roll out the roast beef, lasagna and some other items (including their awesome broccoli casserole) to make it a full-fledged brunch buffet until 2pm.
After the Naproxen Nightmare, I figured I'll just stick to my trusty Ibuprofen. But I couldn't find any. So I decided to try some Acetaminophen, which is essentially Tylenol - it just came from Wal-Mart. So I tried a couple of pills, and what do you know, my stomach just roiled again. I couldn't sleep, I could barely eat, my head pounded even worse. So maybe it's a quantity thing, as I usually take a pretty small amount of Ibuprofen. I don't know. I'll try something else tomorrow, unless I can get some more Ibuprofen.
No luck on the Ibuprofen yet, so I tried a smaller dose of Acetaminophen. It helped with my stomach, but it's still not really helping my head. I ended up spending much of the day on the couch since I couldn't really get rid of my headache. At the end, I did manage to get to Eckerd, to pick up some Ibuprofen, which was nice. I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep for once.
While I generally try and take just one pill, I broke down and had two. I have to get some sleep.
Feeling much better this morning, but I still needed to take one pill to help clear the head. Hopefully that will keep me going throughout the day.
I typically bumble about looking for something to test my regular expressions, and today I stumbled across the regular expression tester for Firefox. It's likely not perfect, but it seems to work pretty well.
It appears that ABC has really upped the ante for this off-season with their new advertising blitz for Lost. Dubbed The Lost Experience, to capitalize on the fact that users who choose to participate will really feel immersed in the whole thing, as if they are actually experiencing it for themselves, it started with an advertisement show during a Lost episode, and has blossomed across the Internet, taking discussion boards and email boxes by storm. I have now collected comments and submissions into one place, and I will continue to update this entry as needed as the Experience progresses.
Though our kids tend to order a cheeseburger or chicken tenders off of the kids menu no matter where we go, they like the Japanese Steak House. Probably because they get distracted by the guy who tosses things around and sets stuff on fire so much that they forget that they aren't eating cheeseburgers and chicken tenders. I don't know, really, but it at least gets something a little different in them, so we can't complain.
I'm not usually much for national chains, and this is one example of why. The food here was okay, but the service was lousy. It seemed like it took forever to get anything.
