GAH, this is disgusting. I was SO hungry today, but I'm kind of sick of all food, nothing sounds good. So, I thought to myself, Feck it, I'll go to Taco Bell. So I wearily went through the drive-thru purchased my Chalupa Combo #6 with hot, mild, or fire sauce and went merrily on my way. I sat down at my desk and started to eat. Suddenly, I bit down on...something. I spit it out on my napkin, and it was some sort of spongy, meat-like substitute. After throwing up in my mouth a little, I threw my whole $5.02 meal away.
Cross another place off my list.
There are plenty of very good places to eat in Green Bay, but no one's schedule is the same as mine to go with me. And I'm too much of a
to go alone. (I've had very bad experiences.) Will you come to Green Bay and get some good chinese food with me at the Peking House? Please? I'll even let you buy!
=======================================
Brain fart of the month:
I got another design job that sort of fell into my lap (when it rains, it pours). It is for designing the logo, menu, coasters, matchbooks, table tents, and other assorted advertising for a sushi restaurant that is opening up here in Green Bay. I got the job because a friend of mine is a friend of the person that's starting it. A coworker of mine is doing the art for the place, painting murals on the walls, and other art - she's getting paid a pretty penny to do so. So I mentioned to the friend of the owner that I'd love to do the graphic design for them, sort of kidding, but he called the owner right up, and she sounded very interested and told me to come up with some comps. She wants to do everything local, and is all about supporting local talent.
So anyway, the name of the place is Coco's. Style: fun, oriented toward the younger crowd, say 20's - 30's, not your traditional Japanese formal place. Her existing logo (just a quick job so she could have business cards) was the word Coco's inside a Christian-esque fish. It looked WAY too much like a christian establishment, so I came up with a fantastic idea and worked for hours and days on the comps.
I bring in one of them to show to the artist that's doing the murals, to see what she thought. Her reaction?
Those are really cool, but it's spelled Koko's.
D'OH.
Back to the drawing board...
=======================================
Do you have any good recipes? What about good art?

Don't ever buy baked instant noodles. They taste good, but they have the consistency of rolled ass.
and after the taco bell story....I have to go get some rope and hang myself now.
