I was kicking around the mall, killing time, reading my book, waiting for the car to be fixed when I thought I'd try something different.
There isn't much different to do in malls, which is why I so seldom ever go. Taco Bell, A&W, Subway, the conventional non-appealing options.
But there was a new chain there, Thai Express, and as I'm a big fan of Thai food I thought I'd give it a try.
I had the Pad Thai.
It tasted like the chef had barfed in the wok, stirred in a bit of oil and served it to me. This is the kind of stuff you don't eat for free, let alone pay for.
Absolutely god-awful appalling. Really, had they served me a filet-o-fish or a supersize fries it would have been closer to Thai food than the oily, flavourless mass of regurgitated noodles and sprouts.
Fucking appalling is about all I can say, for however many stars that counts.

I grew tired of waiting for it to come and so downloaded it for the boy and I to watch.
Excellent, brilliant ideas, and whether you agree with it or not there's much food for thought. A shame we couldn't see it in the theater....

I have no explanation that will do it justice, so you'll just have to follow the link and let them explain themselves...

For IFN tonight it's a documentary about Bill Cunningham - Fashion Photographer for the NY Times (and other publications).
Charming, engaging, a wonderful subject for a documentary - at 81 years old still riding about New York on his bicycle snapping pictures of people - styles, outfits that he thinks are worthwhile.
Out of our box and well worth seeing.
