Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Oh Quizno's - How You Deceive Me

Went across the street to Quizno's (they have a pickle bar) for some soup and a small salad (always trying to avoid scurvy this one, although the vat of orange juice I drank yesterday should hold me for a couple days). Now, I don't expect much from Quizno's. I generally go there if I don't have a lot of time or if the weather is poor because it is really, really close. Today it was a bit of the time, but mostly I am tired and wanted soup and didn't want to walk all the way to Au Bon Pain (you know I'm tired if 3 blocks is all the way). I sat at my desk, ate up my cup of soup (burnt my tongue - ow) and opened up my salad to find pure, cheap genius at work. A cursory glance at the greens shows a healthy mix of field greens; some purple cabbage, a little endive, spinach leaves, you get the idea. I went in thinking I was getting a good mixed green salad until I ate the two pieces of each of those to discover the rest of the container (about 80%) contained iceberg lettuce. No wonder it's only $2.50. Bravo Quizno's. Bravo.
