It’s been a good day in spite of my falling asleep around 4:00pm and not waking up until around 11:30pm. Even the extended mid-day nap wouldn’t be a bad thing if I wasn’t supposed to be working on a project, but alack alas, I was. It started out with a nice early morning trip to Golden Corral followed by a visit to Target to get some supplies. I rather enjoy Golden Corral, but I also feel like I should be conducting a study on obsesity everytime I visit. If you’re wondering why most Americans are fat, just visit a Golden Corral, and you’ll understand immediately. Extremely large people sitting for extended periods of time while eating extremely large quantities of fattening foods. That about sums up the Golden Corral experience, but like I said, I still rather enjoy the place.
After that, I got to watch Duke absolutely massacre #2 Texas team before passing out, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. After almost losing to Virginia Tech (a crappy, crappy team), it was nice to beat a solid team by 31 points. The announcers seemed a bit partial to the Texas team, and even stated that they expected Texas to blow Duke out. In the end, they tried to explain the blow-out to the Texas team playing poorly saying they’d get better over the year. However, the same definitely holds true for the mostly freshman Duke team. Still, there was no battling back. There was no playing down to our opponent. There was no waiting until the last minute to win. There was no buzzer beater shot. We simply opened up a huge can of whoop-ass from start to finish, and it can only be described in one word… supercalafragalisticexpialadocious (sp?). It was a great way to start off the day, and given my premature slumber, I guess end it.
Now, however, I’m waiting for food absolutely famished. I ordered a burrito from a local Mexican Restaurant called Cosmic Cantina, but I could really go for one of the giant burritos from Chipotle. If you’ve never been there, it’s a fast food burrito restaurant where you build your burrito as you go (kinda like building a sandwich at Subway). The burritos are enormous and oh so good! It’s supposed to be delivered fairly soon, and right now, it couldn’t get here soon enough. Awesome! The phone just rang and that means my food has to be here (nobody calls me on my dorm phone except the delivery people). Time to go pick up my food from downstairs and dig in!
The one time I visited a “Golden Corral” restaurant, I thought it should be called “Golden Trough”. It’s quite scary when the staff brings out a fresh tub of something that’s run out, and all these people go rushing up to pile even more food on their plate.
i had me some old Golden Corral days back in Texas. i definitely agree.
on those all-you-can-eat steak nights, it was crazy. who can eat more than one steak?
my cousin had the idea of a burrito bar a few years back.
hmmmmmm…….
would love Chipotle up here!
oooo ooo oooo! i just went to the Chipotle site and saw there are two in San Antonio! we will be there in one week!
gonna check it out….thanx!
Dave: Yeah, I know exactly what you’re talking about. What makes that even scarier isn’t simply the fact that you have a ton of people gunning for that one new “trough”, but you’ve got a ton of extremely large people heading for that “trough”. You’ve got to watch out for being stampeded!
Apryl: I’m a little jealous now. Chipotle is soooooo good, and I can assure you that you definitely won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget to try their chips which are outrageously good too! They’ve got some sort of lime flavoring or something super awesome like that.
Golden Coral scares me just a little.
