A Word of Advice to Chili's Resturant

Dear Chili's Restaurant,

I have been to your fine establishment many times, and enjoyed my experience during all of them. However, today, I was a little busy and did not have time to go eat at your establishment, so I decided to use your Car Side To Go service. I am glad to know that you offer this service, but I was not impressed with it. There was no car side in this Car Side To Go service, you have to walk in and wait in a line to get your food yourself. You do however get a reserved parking spot if you are picking up food. But if you are in line for more than ten minutes paying customer or not, they will crush your car and melt it.

Wow, that was my reaction, why not just scare the customers off?
I took out my phone and snapped a pic because I was so amazed at how blatantly ignorant this company was. When I got home, i found some fries that were cold and looked s though they had been made for hours, and a turkey sandwich that was nothing special. Having the food made before the customers order is what Burger King, and McDonalds are supposed to do, not Chili's. If I wanted a crappy turkey sandwich and cold fries, could have driven half as far and paid half as mush and gone to McDonalds. I am unimpressed with this service, and would not recommend it.

6/18/07

Today was a good day I suppose. I will start with my day, but if that doesn't matter to you, scroll down to some format war news. Ok, I woke up to find that my family had left to my mom's sisters son's 6 year old birthday. So I had the house to myself all day, which was nice. I went down, made a Stouffer's casserole thing in the microwave, and ate that. Then I went upstairs, took a shower, and then I went down to the treadmill and fell asleep power walking. Not literally of coarse. I had my eyes shut and held on adjust kept walking. I got in 3 miles, and burned 350 calories. I Got my heart rate up to 209. It was fun. So I finished that, I started some homework. I did about 15 minutes of homework and then I got a call from my mom telling me that she was bringing me some steak from the party, and asked me to get bo ready for a walk. I said yes, and put my homework away. When she got home we walked bo, I rode alongside her on my bike. About 50 feet from my house, I decided to do a fishtail in a sandpit, and I did, and then when I went to pull out of it, the chain slipped off, so I had to walk out of the sand and walk the bike home. The bike is a nice one, it is only two years old. It has disc breaks and everything. It is not the first time this has happened either. So I am a little upset at Mongoose for building such a bad bike. But that was cool, cause I really don't care and have a hundred other bikes all over my garage. So I went in, ate the steak my mom brought me, and then I got back to homework. I did homework until like 20 minutes ago while talking t Derek. Then I took the MacBook to were I am sitting right now and pulled up Google Reader. Not much struck my eye until I found out that Blockbuster chose Blu-Ray as the HD disc format they will be marketing. This angers me because Blu-Ray players cost more, and it has been what, 8 months that you can purchase a Blu-Ray disc? And the coating on them is beginning to rust already. I like Blu-Ray more in theory, and I was on the side of Blu-Ray for a while, it has more capacity, has a cooler name, and Microsoft doesn't like them, whats not to love? Well, the players. They cost too much. An HD-DVD player is almost 50% cheaper. Half the capacity, meant you have to package your movies with 2 discs if it comes down to it. I am just mad because Blockbuster deciding to go with Blu-Ray is a pretty big punch in the face for HD-DVD. I hope the producers have chosen one of the two by the holidays, because my family is planning to upgrade out TV, out Player, and our sound system. And I don't want to have to old off because the effing producers are still throwing baby fits about why this is better, or this is better. Just shut the fuck up and choose one! If Blu-Ray does become the standard, I would hope that Sony is able to build a quality Blu-Ray player that is not lacking in features and is affordable. If Sony is unable to do this, I will not be buying, I will just stick with the HD on-demand Comcast movies for the time being. I used www.urltea.com today, and I like it much better than www.tinyurl.com. It is prettier, but it seems faster and more reliable. Plus, it automatically copies the shortened url to your clipboard.

Good Night All,

3/25/07

Hmmm. . . Today was not all that great. I woke up because my mother walked into my room. She told me that my father was going to home depot, and I could go if I wanted to. I like to get out of the house, and it usually means I get some food or something. So I got up and my mother is like "Ryan, I need you to do a project for me." and I was like, oh, on the computer, I am good at that. And got a little excited, because browsing the web looking for something to blog about is not exactly "fun". But it turned out she wanted me to stain some shelves that she bought an is planning on putting in the office. I looked @ them and laughed, thinking she was kidding. Then she was like I will pay you and buy you lunch. So I thought, OK, ma by we could work something out. After some haggling and an agreement that she would not be mad if I fuck up the job, I got to staining. Well, this was after I got back from Home Depot. So when we got home, my dad put his Camry into the garage, just so that I could pull it out (that was part of the deal) and then I pulled the sedona out too. I always go too far back so that I can gas it real hard to get back up the driveway. Then I went into the basement and got a fan, set it up, and started slopping stain all over all of these drawers. That lasted for about and hour and a half. Then I got bored and started doing a little demolition derby with my sisters bike because apparently while I was sleeping this morning, my mom drove her to deerfield to spend the day with her cousin. So that was that, and I just did that all day, then pulled the car back in. Then I went to steak and shake (which was another part of the deal) and I got a burger, fries, and 2 large chocolate and banana side by side shakes. And finished one on the way home. And tomorrow, I will do the last coat and get $20. So it is all cool, I just had a great idea, I think my old laptops memory might be compatible with my gateways. So I am going to go check, and if it is, I will install it and see if my computer is any faster. ttyl
