A month ago Mike ordered us some shirts off of Threadless.  He got me 2 cute ones, Refrigerator Running and Collateral Damage.  I wore the cutsie yellow and bunny-fied shirt right away, loved it!  Then when I went to wear my cute blue tshirt with the adorable refrigerator on it, I noticed there was this weird square outline from where they screenprinted the shirt.  Dangit!  I couldn’t wear it.  So after a couple of weeks of my attempting to remind Mike to return the shirt, I finally sent it back on Monday.  He got notice yesterday that they sent out a replacement, free of (shipping) charge obviously.  They also sent him a code for $7 off of his next purchase.  So kudos goes out to Threadless by standing by their product, making the return/exchange process smooth and easy, and most definately enticing us to buy more shirts!  In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Mike has about 30 threadless shirts.  Moral of the story, buy from Threadless!

Wednesday night I went with Mike to Baileys Taproom so he could meet up with some geekytype people and we could have beer.  So we had beer, he met the geeky type people and then we decided to play some Scrabble.  Scrabble with Mike is NOT fun, he cheats and “bends” the rules so that they work out to his advantage and I don’t enjoy it :( But we still had a fun time even though he cheated!  After that we decided we’d just stop somewhere for dinner since it was already 8 and by the time I got home to cook, we’d be eating after 9pm.  So we stopped by this little hole in the wall joint on 6th and Oak called R Palate.  It looked skeevy to me at first and the stuff on the menu didn’t look all that great at first.  I decided to get the duck, which was pan seared with a date butter sauce and served with goat cheese risotto (think, yummy cheesy rice).  It was to die for.. Oh sooooo good. Mike had a flank steak that was super tender and he said it was the best steak he’s had.  I tasted it and while yes, it was tender, I wasn’t a fan of the flavor.  The place was great and we’re looking forward to going back there. 

Last night we went to see Margaret Cho live.  Mike was kind enough to buy me tickets many months ago when they went on presale, and I’ve been patiently waiting the entire time to go.  It was a great show, absolutely hilarious.  Ian Harvie was her opening act and he/she was a riot too.  We had a great time and now I want to go home and watch all of her DVD’s all over again.  I really enjoy what Margaret always has to talk about, and I am really glad that this time she pretty much kept the political/war talk to a minimum.  Sometimes she gets so into what she’s discussing that she goes off on a tangent.. Which is all fine and dandy but her political/war tangents tend to get a little angry and I don’t miss them at all.  Before the show we stopped at Oliver Twist restaurant in the Hilton for dinner.  Food was good, although our weird portobello mushroom appetizer was disgusting.  I was mildly amused that while we were waiting for our food some interesting people were seated next to us.  They had some troubles getting into the seat because of where it was located and the pepper fell off of their table.  When Mike picked the pepper up to put it back on the table, one of the diners called him “sweets” .. I was amused to say the least.  I still don’t know if that particular diner was a MTF or FTM .. Having a hard time distinguishing, what with the feminine voice and the beard..

I am however, very surprised I do not have Margaret’s “Eat my pussy” song, stuck in my head.....
