rating: &&&&/&&&&&
listening to: dire straits
comments: it was another lunch truck friday. but I opted out. instead, I went to Big Lou's to continue my mission to try all their sandwiches. I still am not sure of my favourite, but I think it's the porchetta. this one was good, though. but pork always beats chicken. click to see where I et me lunch. oh, and I should share this, too.

and ashley had:

the schnitzel sandwich?
comments: here's what the lunch truck "slingers" was serving. everyone I asked said it was good. so I said 'what? not amazing?! I want amazing!' which is why I went to big lou's. anyway. we found a way to beat the parking police for the lunch trucks. put them in our back lot. win win.

guess we were always poison lunchers

listening to: steve earle
comments: tried a new place for lunch. well new for me. this place is attached to the Irish Heather. it's not bad. they could do with heating stuff a bit more than they do, though. the cheese in my sandwich wasn't even melted. the salad was a bit plain, but ok. I'll probably go back. click my lunch to see a very long shovel. I know you can't tell from that angle, but I think the handle was about 6'-8' long.

and bill had:

the quiche
comments: this was also not heated enough. in the afternoon today, there was lotsa rain, and rainbows. so of course, we had to go on the roof to look at it. click to see a wiggly of it from the roof. oh... but looking at that gif closer, you might notice what this seagull did to the rainbow. gross! sick! and worse yet, check out what bill did with the 'bow after. gross. oh well. he seemed pretty happy about the whole thing.

every step i take is like a kick in the face, then a kick in the gut, then again in the face. I lunched her - what have i done?

listening to: man factory
comments: my first time to the HAVE cafe. and by jove, I'll be going back! tasty food, decent prices, big portions and nice people. I like it. the reason I quote manfactory today is not just because I listen to it most every day. I got my cd in the mail today! yay! then I'm all like... ok, a cd.. what do I do with this thing?? the best part was this note they included with the disc. funny. now click my lunch to see the workplace of a long-time LATV viewer's wife. long-time? forever time, more like. I bet he's never missed a post!

and bill had:

veggie pasta
comments: is there any point in me putting the word 'veggie' in front of bill's food? methinksnot. it's kinda funny that most every workplace I've been to, there's been a pretty regular veggie lunch guest. don't they understand bacon!? now click to see the john watch sign that made me imagine all sorts of funny things. who is this john? how does he watch? is HE a watch? want another wiggly? ok

les commentes: ok, the truth is that I had to stop listening to the new street fighter album just to find another song quote with "love" in it. ok, now back to man factory. I met bill for lunch today. he is equally stoked to listen to Round Two. my lunch was pretty good. I really only ordered it because of the name of the dish. but bill's mac and cheese looked better. next time... now click to see a funny sign in a window that reads, "raymond moved please do not disturb tenant". I'm thinking maybe raymond was a drug dealer?

and bill had:

the mac and cheese
comments: so this 'two chefs and a table' place is right by bill's work. and it's quite tasty. I'm sure I'll be back there to try some other dishes. click bill's lunch to see the front of the restaurant. you still hungry for wigglies? ok, have a look at the third member of 50ftware and his dancing doggy

listening to: the torch relay make its way around our city
comments: so, today I heard all this noise outside, yelling, sirens, honking, and I poked my head out my door and realized this was the olympic torch relay. so I look it up on their map to find that it was going down victoria drive. victoria drive!!! I live just west of main, and I could hear victoria drive! crazy. so, looking at the map, I found that they'd be going by queen e park eventually. a quick shower, I hoofed it over there. just in time. not a minute too soon. click my lunch to see the torch. or you can see the non stop dancers or the crowd at 37th and main.

comments: my holiday is over. I'm working again. only five and a half months off. next time this happens, I think I should try to break 6 months. there are some good things about being back to work. one being access to the roof. there were some gulls born and raised on our roof this year. I missed it. you can click to see the nest they were raised in. not much of a nest. just a pile of stuff, really.
