On the topic of pizza, I've gotten into the habit of checking for dietary restrictions when I order food for a group. I wish others would have the same courtesy. Then at least if I order something that people can't eat, I can truly say that I asked.

I'm severely allergic to shellfish and everything that it touches, so I avoid most seafood in general. But of course, in this area, crabs are a big thing...so it pisses me off when people, who damn well know my allergy, order it for a group event.

As such, though, I've ended up ordering plain/cheese-only pizza, no-cheese pizza, meat-lovers and white pizza all in one go.

On a completely different note, I just saw this ad and realized that the guy playing as the elephant-riding Indian prince is a guy I went to elementary and middle school with. Cadillac Escalade TV Commercial, 'Evolution of Indulgence' Song by David Bowie - iSpot.tv

I remembered he played violin from like age 4 or something but apparently he's kind of a real thing...bigger than many get, anyway. Never in a million years would I have pegged him to go into the entertainment industry and succeed (unless it was in an orchestra somewhere). According to his IMDB info, he also grew a lot more than I thought he would, because I remember him being a dweeby little shrimp. Deepak Ramapriyan - Biography - IMDb

It always surprises me to see things like this, then compare with people who I thought would make it in entertainment, those who did drama and/or improv. He seems by far the most successful of all my classmates in that field. I have some other friends who are in bands that play somewhat bigger scenes and SXSW but none this "accomplished."
