Poor Billy Bob Thornton.

Reduced to 'Angelina Jolie's ex-husband'.

Oh, well. It all went downhill after Sling Blade

Snow, life, and restaurants.

So. We had hoarfrost this morning. Yay.
Was there snow? I didn't see any, but I didn't leave for work til 8:45. It was certainly cold enough. Brr.
Work /sucked/ today. Network failues, server problems, bitchy users, useless users, upgrades, new code, meetings, and bleah.
There were upsides, though.
1: We went out to Terracino's for lunch. This is a new Pizza/Italian place that replaced the late, unlamented Wiseguy's Pizza.
Terracino's is /far/ superior. Pricewise: A 18" one topping pie is $10. And the pie itself? New York style, served hot out of the oven, and frankly probably the best NY style I've had since NYC. All sorts of cheap, neat, pasta salads, decent wings, and a baked Pepperoni roll appetizer that made all of us at lunch go 'MMmm.' Also, they had a good selection of pastas, stromboli, subs, and calzones, but we didn't sample them. The dessert cannolis were almost as good as my mom's, and best of all? Pay as you go/before you eat. And if you give them the cash for 3 bottled Stewarts or a few cans of pop? You just walk up to the icebox full of drinks and ice whenever you're ready for them and pick out whatever you'd like.
The booths are a bit small, but since that's the only criticism I have of the place, you should accept it as really good.
2: Terracino's is next to our substandard comic shop. But the SCS happened to have a copy of holofoil Megaman #1 and G.I. Joe vs. TF #3. I was very pleased to read both of these, and I got a discount on MM #1. Woot. I've been enjoying the Devil's Due series, and Megaman was decent, and I didn't think the characterization too bad, so far. Light reminded me of yetanotherbob in some ways, particularly his light banter with Roll and casual attitude. I'm curious to see what it'll be.
As it happens, both of these books are supposed to arrive to me from an online store, but they've yet to ship and are different covers, so I'm looking forward to putting them all in bags, or keeping the less expensive covers to read when I care to.
3: Hockey tomorrow!

Now that I've finished the doubtless Boring Life Update...something else, semi-related.
Edit: I also refuse to apologize to the cows, now or ever.
Tell me about your favorite place to go for pizza or something similar when you were growing up. Preferrably one that was non-chain or somehow unique to your area compared to the other members of the chain. (Or, if it was just geographically wierd. IE: a Noble Roman's above the Mason-Dixon.)

In my case, there used to be a place near my Grandparents called 'The Depot'. Italian food, and good, but also with a neato atmosphere, including tons of train stuff (it was at an old train yard in Quaker Square), and model trains that not only ran above tables but beside them! And they had a train layout you could go watch and enjoy while waiting. Not as interactive as arcade games, but better and special.
It's gone, now. And I miss it.
So tell me about yours?

Last post of the night unless something goes on. I promise. I know I'm being spammish.
