OMGWTFGUACAMOLE!



There's a Chipotle in Westwood.

Let me rephrase that, with feelings.

THERE'S A FLIPPIN' CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL IN M*TH*RF*CK*N' WESTWOOD CALIFORNIA!!!
OMGWTFBURRITOYEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!1!1

I was walking around Westwood today, looking for a place to have lunch. I happened to take Broxton and there it was,
not 100 yards from the EB Games/GameStop at the corner of Kinross, Westwood, and Broxton (it's a weird intersection).
It's been open about two weeks apparently, and it seems to be doing brisk business.
You cannot possibly understand how happy this makes me. Okay, maybe you can understand. :)
No more riding two buses to go to the ones in Beverly Hills or Marina Del Rey!
Just one bus and 15 minutes separate me from delicious guacamole and mind-blowing burritos!
And there's the Westwood In-N-Out Burgers about 2-3 blocks away.
Oh yeaaaaaaaah...


A friend pointed out this page talking about giant road trains, including a concept for linkable megadumptrucks
sure to make Gerry Anderson smile. I may have to build something like that out of Legos!


The artwork for all 4 CDs of the memorial compilation is done. It just needs some minor tweaking.
I've also designed the front case insert. I have a couple of ideas for the back, though it has to be simple image-wise
because there's a lot of text on it. So I'm thinking one large headshot of Pascal, maybe faded so the text is legible.
This weekend, I'm gonna mostly stay home, and buckle down and mix "My Planet Rocks", the house/trance CD.
I went to Trader Joe's today and stocked up on food, and I was at Ralph's yesterday, stocking up on beverages. I now have
5 different kind of diet sodas on hand: Coke Zero, Cherry Zero, Vanilla Zero, Lime Diet Coke, and Splenda Diet Coke.
In addition to plenty of water, of course, and some Simply Orange "Chunky Style" orange juice. :D
I've got enough sodeepop to last me at least 3 weeks! It's rigoddamndiculous, as John Wayne used to say.
So yeah, I've got what I need and I don't need to go out.
By the time Sunday Night rolls around, I want to have at least a dozen finished Memorial CD sets on my desk.


Happy Easter Weekend! (Where applicable)
Like we say in France, Joyeuses Paques!

aren't they owned by McDonald's?

Well, yes.
Though it's a bit like Disney owning Pixar.
The quality is not diluted in any way.
I'm a supertaster and a foodie and French, so trust me when I say the food quality is high.

I could remind you that Pixar wasn't Pixar before Disney got involved, but... Well let's just say that the flow of creative juices wasn't always one way...

Zrath, you must come to Austin, someday, so I can take you to the place that Chipotle (bought out by the McDonald's Corporation) got all their stuff from. :)

And if you come to L.A., I can take you to the place where Johnny Rocket's got all their stuff from.
What's your point? :D

That Chipotle opened several weeks ago after being under construction for altogether too long. I haven't been by there yet, as I don't eat out nearly as often as I used to. They had free burritos shortly after opening, and the line went all the way around the corner. I gave that a pass... :)

Well, you know, there's a reason for that. :)
And it's not just because the burritos were free (though that's a big thing).
The food is damned good. Period.

I've been to one relatively near where my parents live northwest of Austin, and I agree that it is indeed very good. That's why I was definitely looking forwards to the one opening in Westwood. Prior to that, the closest ones were in Beverly Hills and Marina Del Rey, both of which were a bit too far to visit on a regular basis. Now I can just walk there.

I ate at Chipotle (a branch in the frozen wastes of Minnesota) today. I wish we had them at home. Instead we have Qdoba, which is... an acceptable substitute.

Except that the bastards got rid of the molé flavorings in favor of some not-quite-as-good barbecue mix. Grrrrrrrr.
