Burrito Americana

Chipotle Grill: Excellent burritos. A new one just opened in my neighborhood. It reminds me of Hi-Tech Burrito up in Marin — tightly wrapped, cylindrical artillery shells of food encased in foil.

I think it’s the ingredients that make these great. Also the tortillas are heated at the moment they are ordered. This helps them retain their shell shape without disfiguring/breaking open.

I’ve eaten one a day for the last four days in a row. Someone please help me!

There’s a store around these parts called Aaahs. They are the local plastic crap store. They sell gag gifts, Munsters lunchboxes, bachelor party joke items. I mention them because they dovetail nicely with this article from the Huffington Post: Top Ten Most Useless Items of Crapola. (via Digg)

We buy a lot of stupid shit. I include myself in this population of stupid shit buyers. However, I’m switching gears. I’m gonna stop buying stuff that I don’t need. Things have gotten too disposable, too one-use-only.

I like the stuff I already have. We have a history together. This especially goes for computers that I own. I can think of the precise things I wrote on each one of them. That’s kind of cool. It’s like picturing the car that you drove cross-country from Seattle to NYC, or the gun that killed that dude you really didn’t like. You have a history together. A very masculine, testosterone-injected history.
