I hate wasting food. This keeps me away from buffets with the kids. If they don't finish what they put on their plates they don't get to go back for anything else. I'm a real bitch about it. I try and teach them to just take a tiny bit if they haven't tasted it before. We don't go very often because I find it stressful. Also DH overeats!

The menu is making me hungry and I just ate breakfast! I didn't look to see where it actually was, though. Is it somewhere easy to get to from the hotel during the F2F? I think I might like to try it.

Not so much, unfortunately; it's in Menlo Park, which is south of me. Definitely need a car for it.

I'm pretty crap at buffets--I have a small appetite where baked goods aren't concerned. And I feel very self-conscious if I go for a second helping with much stuff left on the first plate. Get the same stuff that I left behind? Dude, it's not your house. It's a place of business. Behave.

I don't go to buffets often (don't like the food at most of them unless I am in Vegas), but when I do, I tend to take very small amounts of several different things at first. If I don't like it, then I don't feel bad leaving a miniscule amount behind, and if I do and am still hungry, I can get more.

That reminds me, there is a Pan-Asian all you can eat place just down the road from me that is supposed to be decent. I should see if I can organize an outing there.

I actually like the way the owner put it. "all you can eat" not "all you can waste".

I just managed to rip a chunk of skin off my left index finger.

Kind of wish I hadn't done that. It doesn't hurt much, but it is bleeding like a mofo.

I stumbled onto the blog of the guy who played Shrimp Boy, and he called Thief cancelled.

That's such a bummer! When I was trying to figure out what was up with the finale, I did see that the first season order was just the 6 episodes, and they did wrap up beautifully, but I can imagine a next episode -- more of the same, with added lam!

Buffets kind of freak me out.

Oddly, my haircut looks better with bedhead. The fuck?

I was amused that this morning I had the same experience (chopped off a lot yesterday.) Though I suspect yours is longer than mine.

I slept too much this weekend. Kinda screwed up outside plans (though I did spend several hours wandering around outside.)Did get the place clean, hair dyed and nails done yesterday too. Now I have to do stupid laundry. And then maybe Target, a park and maybe grocery shopping. I may put off the last.

Hmmmm...and my head looks like blind squirrels cut it when I wake up. Good thing is that it does style nicely after I wash it.

Mine usually does too. Hairdresser did a slightly different cut (what kind of different? Beats me. I let her decide) and it seems less likely to fall victim to the flathead or smash'n'crimp.
