Ninja Turtles, rant about customer service, and a bunch of unconnected stuff...

What's with the using names to call for food orders?

Okay, I was at my local pizza place. It's nice, and they do delicious thin crust. (Not crispy, completely chewy and really good sauce.) Usually they serve single slices, but they have bigger pies. A friend and I go up to order different things. (I get a large pizza pie - bacon and pepperoni, and she gets the cheese sticks.) The guy working the counter asks for my name to call for the food. Keep in mind, that it's like 6:00 pm, and pretty much we are THE ONLY customers in the store.

I give my name, and so does my friend. I was struck speechless at how a little thing like that pisses me off. I really should have a fake name that I use. I usually give a variation on my real name like "Angi" or "Angela" in those situations, but today I was caught offguard.

It's a stupid practice, and it was kind of funny as my friend and I were having a loud conversation about her girlfriend as well.

0) I have 2 more chapters to go for next week's readings. I personally don't care, but I have a ton of stuff that's due next week and it's just mind-melting sometimes.
1) My roommate set off the fire alarm - again. What the fuck!
2) I'm working out again, but I'm so sore after not being active for so LONG
3) I'm bored, and I was watching Digimon Season 2 - I love the new baddies (Mummymon and his girlfriend)...
4) I was also watching the 2003 Ninja Turtles...and what the frack? They turned Shedder into a tengu who possessed a warrior? Okay, I grew up with the Turtles that were the surfer slang group, and this is weird....and also, they aren't obsessed with pizza anymore. The ending was that they defeat the Tengu Shredder with the help of their new mystical weapons/transformations and they end up walking off with Sensai Splinter and he says "Anything you want for dinner...it's on me..." They could have worked in a reference to the pizza obsession....

I could never get into the 2003 Ninja Turtles series.

Long live the original. I just looked it up and holy crap, I never knew it had 193 episodes across 10 seasons. That's nuts.
I need to get it and rewatch it...
 
Yeah, the new one is kind of weird. Like taking one of my favourite shows and then shitting over it. Gah.
 
The old turtles were pretty much crap, and so dumbed down and kid friendly. The 2003 series remained faithful to the mirage comic series and that's what made it so awesome. Anybody saying the old series is better just has their nostalgia glasses on, the newer series just has so much more depth to the story.
 
The newer series just makes me boggle. It turned into a mystical/transforming thing around the end of the show.
