Hello!

[phyncke]

I thought I would post. I am recovering from a bout of food poisoning that I got at a Mexican restaurant yesterday. Middle of the night - sprint to the bathroom kind of thing. Augh. I love divey restaurants but this was a little too divey. Horrible. I wrote a scathing yelp review to make myself feel better. What do you do? Do you call them to tell them that you got sick or notify someone about it? I clearly got sick from the food at this specific restaurant.

I saw the movie After Earth and found it much better than its horrible reviews would have led me to believe. I liked it and bought the sci fi premise. I accepted it and found myself interested through the whole movie. Not a great movie but not as bad as the reviews said it was. I give it a pass. I like Will and Jaden Smith and enjoyed them acting together. So there. It did get panned in the LA Times and on Rotten Tomatoes so be aware of that. I am glad I saw it anyway.

I went to see Star Trek - Into Darkness again and wowie - it is almost better on the second viewing. Love this movie. I got more emotional in parts and found myself all teary at certain moments. I am really a fan of this franchise more so than other Star Trek series. I like the production value of these movies and they pack a punch on the action. If you have not seen this one, go see it. Love this. I am more into Benedict Cumberdudes performance in this though he still is not very Khan-esque.

In other news - I have no other news. I went to the pool on Saturday and we froze. It was cold.

That is it. Hope all is well with you on your end. Cheers.

Actually, I think you are supposed to call them if you get sick. Or you can call the health department. I would call the restaurant and tell them what you had. If others got sick, too, it could lead to a lawsuit and they won't want that, so they'll probably check their ingredients to make sure they're still safe.

Jai said what I was going to say.

Ugh, you poor thing! I've had it twice - once from bad tuna salad at a deli and once from another restaurant - I was horribly sick the second time, as in probably should have gone to the ER.

Ick, feel better soon, boo! *Huggles*

I got sick from a store bought, packaged and sealed salad of all things, last week. It was a miserable experience, and I had to exhibit at a conference the next day. My deepest sympathies there.

Found Star Trek enjoyable, just problematic in a few areas. I did wonder what you thought of the Great Gatsby - did you ever comment on that?

Ugh! Food poisoning is the worst! Yes, you MUST report them, Janie. :/ I'm so sorry you got so sick. That is some serious stuff.

I like After Earth, too. *nods*

I'm thankful you are better and doing well.

Ew. You poor thing. Wish I could send some oral rehydration down the wires. *hugs*

Ewww, that is miserable. Hope you feel okay today. I'm glad you called them at least. They needed to know there was a problem.

Hope you feel better soon. Food poisoning is awful!

Sorry to hear about the Mexican restaurant mishap, Phyncke. No fun at all. As far as movies, haven't seen Into Darkness yet, but I'd like to if only for the luscious Benedict Cumberbatch.

food posioning sucks :(

Everyone was saying After Earth sucked, I told Dave I'd like to see it but I don't know if he'll go with me..

I could never really get into star trek :( Glad you liked the movies and had fun!

*squishes you*

Food poisoning sucks on many levels!

*more hugs*

UGH. Food poisoning is NO fun at all. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that. I hope you're already feeling much better by now, you're in my thoughts. *hugs*

I want to see After Earth really bad! I'm glad to hear it wasn't as bad as the reviews.... I'm sure I'll have to wait until it's available to rent on Redbox, but I look forward to seeing it. As for the Star Trek stuff... I have never been into Star Trek, like, AT ALL. So I'll probably not be seeing it. Though, I was also never into transformers, and when I saw those movies I love LOOOOVED them! So maybe? *shrugs*

Anyway.
I have something for you. :)



Since you didn't have a chance to request them.
Enjoy! ♥

Ack! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, and I hope you're feeling better now. Food poisoning is awful.
