The worst $10.16 I've ever spent and my new favorite song
Last week, I had the pleasure of eating lunch with my friend Karly. Unfortunately, the food itself was inedible. Now, just let me tell you, I have low low LOW food standards. I will eat almost anything and am not at all picky. We ate at Cantina, which recently opened near our houses. Karl and I should have known things were going to turn out poorly when they did not have "Normal" tea. They had some kind of spicy fancy tea. Granted, it was brewed, but this is the south...just give us some Lipton, or Tetley and be done with it. When I ordered my meal, I thought I was playing it safe ordering a Cuban Pork Sandwich. I imagined spicy, pulled, roasted pork on a pressed sandwich. What I got was a slab of that ham your Maw Maw used to make for breakfast when you were little (you know with the hole in the middle where the bone was) in an iron skillet. However, Maw Maw's ham was better (Maw Maw's was pink and not beige - as was the ham at Cantina). Add some nasty mayonnaise, some hard wavy bread and you have my sandwich. At least it came with chips. I could not force myself to eat the sandwich and ate just the chips. When I was done, some man that worked there came and grabbed my basket and without looking at me or even asking if I was done, unceremoniously dumped my basket in a nearby trash can and walked off. Low marks on service with that move. Karly said her meal was ok. At least it was edible. Luckily, Cantina is located right around the corner from Edgar's Bakery. Karl and I went and got cupcakes to make up for our lackluster meal. I kept eyeing the food at Edgar's wishing we had eaten there. They also have real tea at Edgar's, fyi.
On to better stuff...
I am not a "cool" music person. I hardly ever branch out into new music. However, one Sunday afternoon about a month ago, I was listening to Reg's coffee house and I heard the greatest song ever. A band called The Watson Twins has done a slow, mellow cover of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven". When I first heard it, it was not available on iTunes. Today, I checked and it was there! So, I downloaded it. If anyone knows how to make iTunes repeat a song over and over and over, please leave a comment and teach me. I love this song!!! I also really like the Cure's version, but I like this one much better.
Also, thanks to crappy windows vista and their latest system update, I can no longer send email from my home email. I can receive but not send. So, if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. Prom King and I have both tried (uninstalling Norton, uninstalling the update) to no avail.
Have a great week!

iTunes repeat: Controls - Repeat One.
well i can't help with the repeating because thanks to windows vista, i can't play music at all. i can listen to someone's music on a blog - but can't play my own - not a cd, not a playlist in itunes - nothing!! I'll have to see if i can find the song though and listen on our laptop (you know with windows XP - the version that works). :) Cupcakes always make things better don't they? :)
I heart Reg's Coffee house, he always has the coolest music.
I don't know how I've lucked out thus far, but I haven't had a single problem due to Vista (knock on wood). The more I hear people talking about it, though, the more it makes me nervous. When's the other shoe going to drop?!
I agree with you about Cantina - yuck. But, my husband loves it, so I though it was just me :) Don't be fooled in to trying something different on the menu - I've done that too, and no luck... I'll go to Edgar's with you any day!
I LOVE the Cure - such good memories. I'm gonna check our your song and see how it compares... I tend to be a purist when it comes to the Cure, but I'll give it a try :)
And Vista - well, I hate it too. I've thought about just formatting my computer and starting over, but that's too much work! I hope you get it fixed!
Yeah, Vista is crappy... I dislike it very much. bummer about the food, hate it when that happens! Who doesn't have regular tea in the South?
