Why I'm Not A Food Critic VI

And with this, I have written an entry for every day in February!

Michaels has a sale on Canson and Strathmore artist pads (sketchpads, newsprint pads, marker pads, etc...) this week. So now I have enough Canson pads for maybe the next five years. (Not that I do much with those these days anyway.)

Went to the Palisades Center Mall this evening to purchase a phone accessory and generally take a walk around. I noticed that Mickey Mantle's on the fourth floor has closed for good! That's pretty shocking. It lasted what... half a year? In fact, the website still says "Visit our new location in Palisades Center..."

( So where did I go for dinner? )

By the way, do restaurant servers find it annoying when customers talk their ears off for minutes on end? Not bringing up any examples in particular but I've seen that happen in the past. I don't think the wait staff have a choice in that matter because either it's restaurant policy for them to be polite and listen or they want a big tip. But then again, perhaps I'm reading this all wrong. Maybe they really do enjoy listening as customers go into every last detail of their fishing trip to Lake George. (That's just something I made up, okay? Don't sue!) If that's the case, maybe I should bring up a bit more conversation instead of limiting myself to one line on the weather or the stock market or my not being able to find anything on the web about the brown car SNL skit. :)

Or maybe those customers need to get their own Livejournals. :)
