Wow, long time… as they say
My bad. I can’t remember everything that’s happened in the past week or so, I’ll just cover the highlights.
Yesterday: Lahore Karahi for lunch and the best Butter Chicken and Naan I’ve ever had, Pluto and Tart-to-Tart for dinner/dessert (meh and meh respectively). Lahore is very small, and just one guy cooking everything so service takes awhile… but man, that food was good. I mean, really scary good.
Today: Brenda’s for lunch (French soul food), which is also super small and you put your name on a waiting list outside. When we finally got in I had chicken, ratatouille, and goat cheese omelette (guess how many times I had to spell check that dish… I think you’ll be disappointed) with potato hash and the most buttery delicious biscuit. For dinner, I fed my soul with thrift store shopping — picking up 2 dresses for a “fair price.” They are super cute. Yesterday, I should mention, I also went to A Miner Miracle SHOP. It’s a charity store that sells professional-type clothing (much of it from Ann Taylor) at 1/2 price or less with all proceeds going to fund (I believe) education and empowerment programs in the community. I bought a pretty awesome coral blouse, but no new suit 
I am really on the verge of growing crazy with my suits.
Last Sunday I signed up for the free 2-week Netflix trial to get my fix of The Wire, and everyday I come home just hoping to see those stupid red envelopes. Everyday My Queue says they’re shipping it tomorrow. So today I called and apparently there was a “hold” on my account, and she’ll alert the administrators and it’ll be fixed sometime next week — Wednesday at the earliest? Are you kidding?
“No ma’am, I’m not kidding.”
I have no beef with the customer service representative, it’s not remotely her fault. But seriously, srsly even, this is silly. It must cost them a lot of money to get new clients, and I’m guessing not a lot of money to send emails. If I had known earlier and called Monday, I would have it fixed by now, I would have “The Wire” and I’d be super-happy. Instead, I am going to cancel my account and be bitter at them forever. Is this a good business model? Take home point: Netflix, tools. Jimmy McNulty, awesome.
