Ultralame

Today I saw Ultraviolet, starring Milla Jovovich (of 5th Element fame). I'd have to say wait for video, if you see this at all. While the effects are absolutely stunning and the fight sequences good, every time they try to explain the plot in any way it bogs the film down and just confuses things.

Add Cracker Barrel To The List

Tonight after a very long day at work...nay, a series of very long days...I stopped by Cracker Barrel to get a bite to eat.

Much like the Applebees experience of last year, I sat there apparently invisible to the wait staff. The person who'd originally sat me down was nice enough, and I made eye contact and smiled with all the waiters and waitresses that passed by. The hostess then sat a couple directly behind me. A waitress immediately stopped by, took their drink orders, then returned with liquid refreshment.

At that point I got up and left. The hostess thanked me for visiting, to which I replied "Maybe next time."

Maybe I should have said something, or asked for a manager. I still feel like a dick if I do, and believe me I mulled this over and over before finally leaving. But if there's one thing that I can't stand it's to be ignored, for some reason that jerks my chain real bad.
