comments: great lunch. QA was stuck in the office at lunch working hard, and the tech ops guys were super nice by bringing us lunch. yay. and not just normal lunch. this delicious fancy lunch, complete with bacon salt.

and for dessert I had:

beer!
comments: what's better than a free lunch? free drinks on a boat cruise, of course! click the pics to see some boat giffin'. my camera ended up taking about 450 photos through the 3 hour tour. so I may make the biggest gif ever, or, more likely, I'll throw them into a movie. I think that may take a while, though.

I played it off legit.

bagelwich and spinach salad

price: $9.01
rating: &&&&.5/&&&&&
listening to: built to spill
comments: whatta good lunch. and a fine deal. when I start to relate the prices of me lunches, I realize this is about the same price of a subway. yet a sub would cower in the corner behind its chipotle sauce if it had to stand up to this lunch. maybe I should start having my lunches battle. click to get jiggy with the carwash across the street.

and I also got:

some blank dvds
comments: the interesting part of this photo is that I used this photo to aid me with my purchasing of this product. you see, I carried said DVDs all the way to the counter, and they rang them in, and it came to over $30. I was like, "er... maybe I grabbed the wrong ones" so I walked back and lo and behold, the DVDs I grabbed were the right ones, and thinking ahead, I took a very readable photo of the price sticker. when I returned to the cashier, I presented my photo and told the girl it must be in the system wrong. she agreed, and used the sku number from the photo. awesome. I'm awesome. deal with it. click to see Olympic Village's foundations.

and christopher walken had:

dave's sub
comments: click this sub to see an oddly unsettling video of the first canadian android. why is that part of his demo? did we need to know that fembots don't like you touching their breasts? is that the same for all fembots? what about the austin powers ones? they could just shoot your hand off.

miso ramen

price: I forget. very very reasonable though, like $7?
rating: &&&&&/&&&&&
listening to: modest mouse
comments: traveled across the city for ramen lunch today. and it was well worth it. yum. so good. go there. you will like it. but go at like 11:55am. that way you will get a seat when they open at noon. in the linked gif, you will see the noodles a-boiling. they can only cook 6 at a time there. so we were lucky enough to be some of the first 6 in there. except andy. I think he was 7th. ha.

and andy and phil had:

comments: click to see the fat squirrel that andy was rather obsessed with. I think he wanted to eat it in ramen.

comments: we did some big release at work today, and were bribed with pizza to not leave during the lunchtime. food bribes almost always work on me. now click my lunch to see a very edumactional video that the artist formerly (and still) known as mark henderson sent me. nice one, mark, you have improved my american historical knowledge vastly.

and dave had:

well, the same pizza, of course.
comments: click dave's pizza to see Nikita, office dog. I had to use a flash to get a pic of her, cuz she never stops moving. and since the holiday season is coming, I think it's about time to order some lobster from Sears. yeah, you read that right.

comments: dave bought all of QA lunch today, or I guess the company did. however, phil didn't join us, and there were no other QAs in tha house, so it was me and dave. we tried a new place. dave was a little put off by the exterior of this place. but inside, it was nice and homey, and the food was good. I'd go again. click to see some art work I saw on the weekend at the East Side Culture crawl that Reagan keeps talking about in the comments. this art was by Mark, an Atimiite.

comments: the bread was pretty crazy. I think it's "everything" flavour, cuz part of it is purple. and there's nuts, and there raisins and who knows what else. oh, and if anyone is talking to Burger King, tell him I found his K.

the bbq chicken special
comments: click to see behzad and dave. I think dave's blowing up an invisible balloon. when behzad ordered his food, they asked for his name. he said "Bruce". then he said it's easier than explaining his real name. I think it's because he's trying to be inconspicuous. perhaps he set us up the bomb?
