Stumble it!I woke up really early this morning, and can’t seem to go back to sleep. Work is going to suck.
Anyway, I’ve been surfing around GT! and the one of the conversations reminded me of my problem with burritos. Here is the story: (I’m guessing on the timeframe here.)
Apollo came to see his family here in Idaho in December of 2006. It turned out that his flight got cancelled because San Jose airport closed down. So the airline put him up in a hotel room near the airport for the night. So, I went over and got him and we went to get some dinner. We found a little taquerita in BODO (Boise Downtown, they’re trying to be cool). We each had a burrito and then we got some coffee from Moxie Java and went back to his room and watched a movie. I left around 9 because I had to work the next day. So, that night I had a really awful stomach flu and that burrito didn’t stay down.
Ever since then I’ve had a problem with the idea of eating a burrito like that. It’s really weird, because nasty ol’ Taco Bell burritos don’t bother me, but real ones cause my stomach to kinda flip even after more than a year.
So, I’m thinking about going to a taquerita for lunch one of these days soon and seeing if I can convince myself to buy and consume one and get over this. If it doesn’t work, there’s always the Subway next door.

hey jaydef- it’s @superhootie. that sounds like quite the problem. burritos are everywhere, ya know, and i can just imagine the psychological harm it could do to someone who is afraid of them in some way. if it bothers you, you should try to overcome it. god speed, good friend. god speed….
p.s. “there’s always Subway” just happens to be one of my longest held personal credos.

Thanks, superhootie! I’ll keep you informed.

I love when cities try to be hip when nobody cares. DC is trying to develop an area and give it a hipster nickname before it’s even half reconstructed. The funniest part is that they’re calling the area North of Massachusetts avenue : NoMa. You know what else is called noma? A horrifically disfiguring facial gangrene. Personally, I’m not moving into any of those ridiculous neighborhoods unless I can call it South of Florida avenue (SoFa).

Imagine what a torture that would be living here in Arizona, where a quite large part of living so close to the northern border of Mexico is burritos and more at every corner and nearly every dive in town. And all of it authentic enough the only Taco Bell I can think of that makes tons of money here is around a university…
I wish you good luck on this worthy endevour. I guess we will all find out how well it faired if subway suddenly has a massive upswing on the stock market.
