Ugh
So, went to Tumbleweed just now for dinner. I noticed a thing for a challenge burger... eat it and get a free t-shirt. Rick decided to try. Oh dear lord.
I had a normal cheeseburger (average, nothing to write home about as it turns out, but it was cooked properly), though I had to ask for mustard. Also had a margarita with Chambord and raspberry flavor in it, which was very tasty indeed. I could not finish that, though.
Anyway, this challenge burger. Half the idea was that it was supposed to be really spicy. Sure, sure. Peppercorn coating on the burger patties (two 1/2 pounders), pepperjack cheese (which he couldn't even taste), raw jalepenos, onions... For Rick, it just wasn't spicy at all, but it was more or less tasteless. Couldn't use utensils for anything, either.
In the end he didn't finish it because it just didn't taste good and he wasn't going to stuff himself to the point of sickness on that for the sake of a restaurant t-shirt.
So, kind of a downer and the waitress was a bit... well, she wasn't exemplary service-wise, so no huge tip or anything, but she did get 15%, so it's not like she got stiffed.
Movies: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was all right. Not fantastic, but all right. The Sea of Monsters, however, was phoned in, and obviously didn't have the same budget. Wasn't horrible, but certainly not as good as the first one.
Games: Oblivion is going all right, though I quickly realized that wearing gear that puts me at 100% chameleon makes it difficult to move around since you can't see anything of your character. It was kind of strange, though... I went and assassinated some dude for the Dark Brotherhood and while I was there I looted a few things. I get back outside and I'm standing there for a moment, and all of a sudden some guy speeds over to arrest me for theft. There were no witnesses! What the hell, game? So I paid the fine and probably lost a couple of repair hammers (boo hoo) and that was it. I just gotta plan out my infamy level against fame and do a pilgrimage at some point to wipe that out before I do the Thieves Guild stuff.
I really don't like the leveling system in Oblivion, but I guess I'll just deal with it. And as for chameleon, I can always take off a piece of jewelry so I get a vague outline of the avatar until I want the full deal.
