Over the last few weeks I have found myself in restaurants without family or friends more frequently then I have in the past. Usually, I'll take a book to read while I am waiting for my food. I don't know what made me notice, but I was being flirted with. Yes, I know that many waiters and waitresses do this to increase their tips, but it was still not something I had noticed, at least not directed towards me.
Maybe it was the eye contact. Maybe it was the comment(not mine) about complicated relationships. I don't know what it was that made me notice it, but I have noticed it on a few other occasions at different restaurants since then. I know it's not serious. It's just for fun, but it's something of an ego boost. I'll say this. It's much better then the tired, lackluster service I frequently get when I go out.
And from their point of view, it's probably worth it. I know I tip better. I'm sure I am not alone.

Dr. Horrible
--Begin Blurb--
(From the Dr. Horrible web site)
ONE WEEK ONLY! AN INTERNET MINISERIES EVENT!
"Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" will be streamed, LIVE (that part’s not true), FREE (sadly, that part is) right on Drhorrible.com, in mid-July. Specifically:
ACT ONE (Wheee!) will go up Tuesday July 15th.
ACT TWO (OMG!) will go up Thursday July 17th.
ACT THREE (Denouement!) will go up Saturday July 19th.
All acts will stay up until midnight Sunday July 20th. Then they will vanish into the night, like a phantom (but not THE Phantom – that’s still playing. Like, everywhere.)
--End Blurb--
I just found out about Dr. Horrible today. A few of the people I follow on Twitter had just watched Act I and Act II and twittered about it. After work, I decided to tune in. I am glad I did. The links are going to be up this week only, so if you would like to see it, go there now and be sure to go back on Saturday.
Update 2008-07-25: Just heard from San Diego Comic Con that there will be more Dr. Horrible.
