Enormous

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

75% of your daily fat. 700+ calories. One enormous breakfast.

I’m getting ready for the most disgustingly delicious breakfast of all time. Behold, Burger King’s “Enormous Omelete Sandwich”. It starts with an extra long roll, a slab of egg, two sausage patties, three strips of bacon, a layer of cheese, and the crowning bun top. It’s like getting a six inch sub at Subway, except nothing about it is “made fresh”. BK’s flash animation features the sub dropping on an alarm clock and completely destroying it. Fantastic.

I’m not sure I want to eat it (and I’m very aware I shouldn’t eat it), but for some reason I feel the need to do it. Maybe it’s like the Space Monkeys from Fight Club and I feel the need to destroy myself. Hey, I’ve already shaved my head once this year. I admit it’s probably just my need to do stupid stuff. Again, I’ve already shaved my head once this year.

I was supposed to go get one with Wes yesterday but he wussed out. Hopefully he’ll come to his senses (well, not come to his senses) today and go.

What does Nine Inch Nails mean anyway?

It’s funny how you always seem to be waiting for something at work until you have to leave on time. Somehow everyone is suddenly waiting on you.

Had the usual Tuesday lunch at Qdoba. This time I finally remembered to get the regular customer invasion of privacy for a free burrito card there. With it, I can see every order I made at any Qdoba. I’m sure they must use the data to see market trends, make specials, and probably peer into my soul. I wonder whose job it is too look at that stuff. How do you explain that job to other people?

“So what do you do for a living?”
“I watch people eat burritos.”
“wow, so what does that involve?”
“A lot of watching.”

Apparently, you can get a free burrito every now and then too.

And the manager who refers to everyone (including the ladies) as “my man” was there, as always.

After work, Colen (workmate) and I went to the EMP for the NIN listening party (the new CD is coming out in a month). The majority of the crowd was goth and definitely reminded me of a few characters from high school.

The new CD (“With Teeth”) sounded a lot like the other NIN stuff, although maybe a little better. IT was pretty hard to tell how the crowd was liking it as “excited goth” looks a lot like “bored goth.”

I really wanted to ask someone what “Nine Inch Nails” refers to, but iwas afraid I’ have a bunch of growling goths on my hands.

After the party I got back to my pad and made some korean bbq with kimchi. Really spicy and really good. Yum.
