Good Evening!

Well... I have to say I certainly do love that chicken from Popeye's...

Maybe I will have to try Popeye's a second time. The first time I tried it, I found it overpriced and underwhelming.

Great movie I happened to catch today: BACK DOOR TO HELL, a 68-minute war movie directed by Monte Hellman and starring Jimmie "Honeycomb" Rodgers in a great non-actor-y performance alongside a very young and charming Jack Nicholson. Keep an eye out for this one on Fox Movie Channel.

Popeye's is good stuff, but like a lot of fast-food chains, the locations can be hit and miss.

I just want to say if any of the recent three vampire musicals had a number half as entertaining as the opening of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, any of them might still be running.

Agreed.

The location by me tends to be pretty consistently very good. And I've found that it's best to go when there's a little bit of line at the registers - means that the chicken is fresh(er).

...I do have to say, that their "Spicy" is not as spicy as it used to be. And I miss the Cajun Onion Rings too!

Thanks to so many of you for your continued good wishes for my sweet Angel. She seems to be about the same today. Unfortunately, starting tomorrow, the temperatures are supposed to soar into the high ninties.

I am most tired. It was a long day at the prison and when I got home I had my beginning drawing class. I'm enjoying it, but next week is our last class, I wish we had a few more, at least. I think I'll take another drawing class in the fall - or maybe beginning something else. But I do like learning the basics and am losing my fear that I draw like I'm in kindergarten.

We were outside tonight drawing twigamore (see photo) someone just walking around came over and complemented me. It's silly, the drawing is fabulous or anything, but it isn't too bad. It really felt good to have someone say I can draw

Cillaliz · « **Reply #160 on:** July 20, 2006, 07:38:11 PM »

Twigamore is made out of sticks, nothing keeping it together -it's just woven. It's been there almost a year now.

Absoultely, Jose, the 125th Street Popeye's is the pinnacle of Popeye-ocity.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #164 on:** July 20, 2006, 07:57:07 PM »

...And the truly scary Popeye's is the one by Penn Station on 34th Street... Well, I'm sure there are others, but that's the one that comes to mind.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #165 on:** July 20, 2006, 08:04:12 PM »

SOOOOOOO.............

Here comes a RANT!!!!!

I just opened my latest Sprint bill for my cell phone... Well... It was almost $1200.00?!?!?!?! WHAT THE F---?!?!?!?!?!

So... I called Sprint - again - *Remember the issue I discovered last month, and I thought was on it's way to being resolved... Well... In short, there is still a problem. And Sprint's fraud department is still investigating the case. In fact, even though the "problem phone" on my account had been suspended the past couple of weeks, there were still phone calls - fraudulent, long distance ones to Santo Domingo - being made "by my phone" while the phone number was suspended. WHAT?!?!?! -Even the Sprint rep wasn't exactly sure how to answer that query. And then because the fraud department is still investigating my case, the billing department reversed the credit they had issued previously. It's apparently an automatic thing after ten days if no further action is taken. WHAT?!?!?!? So...

After being transferred to one department after another, the finance department went ahead and issued me another credit. We'll see how long this one sticks.

END OF RANT.

Whew! I feel better now. I think. $:-\$

Oops, well. You have two good Popeye's in your vicinity, then. I did not know there was one that close to me!

The 34th St. one is pretty dire. Worse is the one on Lex and 20th or so.

That phone issue sounds like utter madness.

I watched some entertaining things tonight off DVD and TV. I started with another CSI episode from the Season 5 set. This one involved the murder of a young teen in his own bedroom.

A very bloated-looking Stephen Baldwin was the primary guest star.

And what I'm really worried about is just how "big" my final bill will be once they credit me properly for all the fraudulent phone calls. Right now, to make sure my cell phone service is not discontinued, they are crediting me the total of the current bill - my regular monthly charges and the fraudulent charges. And then once all the disputed charges are settled, well then... $:-\$

THE OFFICE repeated a very funny episode about a bad smelling practical joke played onm boss Michael that drove him out of his office and into the main office room where he proceeded to annoy everyone with the greatest of ease.

The angst-ridden relationship between Jim and Pam: no matter how often I've seen the shows, it just tears me apart. That sense of longing and loss is visceral..

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** July 20, 2006, 08:19:56 PM »

GREY'S ANATOMY repeated the fourth episode from Season 1 (which, of course, was all new to me), a very poignant story of a beloved scrub nurse coming back to the hospital to die (among other storylines ongoing.) A very involving series.

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** July 20, 2006, 08:21:46 PM »

And then I finished out the evening with tonight's CSI episode. It was a repeat of the season premiere where we find out Warrick has married and Nick still has some residual revulsion from his being buried alive at the end of the previous season. It was a good way to start the season. But how mean of the writers to set us up to think Grisson was going to begin a relationship with the returning female detective knowing how the season eventually ended.
