bzarcherSo. 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!
