Jul. 30th, 2012 07:05 pmSo, the most notable part of last week was that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I went to Philadelphia to see Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, which I wrote about on my WordPress. On the way there, we stopped at a diner called Andy's on Route 1, which wasn't very good. The omelette I had was passable, but small. Beth asked for her burger medium rare, and the waitress actually refused to give it to her that way. She didn't say the restaurant wouldn't cook it medium rare, just that she didn't feel comfortable. So instead Beth asked for it medium, and got it well done. Eh, diners can be very hit-or-miss. We arrived at the concert pretty late, thanks to heavy traffic, and they were out of T-shirts by the time we made it to the merchandise stand.
The latest Futurama episode had a promising premise, but it could have used a little more of a story beyond Hermes getting robot parts. It didn't seem to me to really go anywhere. Also, I have to wonder why they decided to kill off Roberto. I did like Dr. Zoidberg's ventriloquism act with Hermes' cast-off parts, and the exploration of why the doctor likes Hermes when Hermes hates him.
We went out to eat a few times this past week, including to Red Lobster on Saturday. For once I didn't get the Shrimp Your Way, but rather one of the four-course meal specials, which was pasta with shrimp and scallops. Pretty similar to what I usually get at the Olive Garden, which makes sense considering that they're owned by the same parent company. I really like Red Lobster, especially the shrimp, but it's rather pricy. Beth usually wants to go to Applebee's when we go out, as she loves the Oriental Chicken Salad, but I'm getting a little tired of that place. I used to really like the Three-Cheese Chicken Penne and the Double Crunch Shrimp, but I've kind of gone off both for the time being. Oh, well.
Speaking of restaurants, I'm kind of upset about Chick-fil-A, since I really like their food. I'd heard about their contributing to anti-gay causes, but I would still eat there occasionally, always feeling guilty but unsure it was really as bad as all that. After having heard that their leadership is proud of their homophobia, however, I don't know that I can eat there again. I have to say that I'll miss it, even though I hadn't gone there a whole lot as of late anyway.
I'm going to close this post with a story about a pet, specifically Wally the cat. One of the advantages to not having dogs around up here is that he can play with toy mice again without the canines destroying them. He had this game going on where he'd play with them for a little while, then bring them back to Beth in the bedroom. He'd generally do this when no one was watching, but occasionally he'd come in with one and meow like he caught an actual mouse. Now, he still does that, but he appears to have gotten a bit lazy, bringing the mice outside the bedroom instead of inside. It's only a difference of a few feet, so I have no idea why he switched it up.
