Same here. Might go for a long bike ride in a while though - it's a beautiful morning out there.

I've got a pretty wicked head cold raging right now. So I'm mostly sniffling and coughing way too much. It's unpleasant.

I hope you're in the early stages of a metamorphosis that turns you into a superhuman, Chris.

spent the last 4 and a half hours cooking, and the same amount of time being irritated that half the stuff i made didn't turn out. also watching the oscars with my parents, which isn't brightening my mood any.

rooney mara looks pretty.

Off for five days before starting my first official day of work as a security guard. However, since I have very little money right now, the steering in the car is not working and there really isn't anyone here for me to talk to, I'll probably die of boredom sometime before Friday.

I just ate a huge burrito! It was great! But now I feel like I can't move. That is fine since all I'm doing is typing stuff.

[David Meadows]

I have just realised I don't actually know what a burrito is.

[Steve Sensible]

It's a small rodent, found mainly in deserts in places like South America and Africa - very tasty served with jalapenos.

[David Meadows]

I'm inclined to say "Bluff", but not completely decided. Americans do eat some weird stuff.

Steve got it right!

A burrito is a flour tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat if you want it, salsa, cheese and lettuce. Actually there are many different things you can get in a burrito. They are quite tasty

i love how mexico has loads of different names for stuff that's in a tortilla, depending on what the stuff is. the british equivalent is probably a pie, or pasty, which are defined by the edible food-casing, rather than the filling, yet with mexican that tortilla looking thing will be filled with different stuff depending on whether it's labelled enchilada, fajita or burrito.
sadly in the uk, most food places can't come up with new names for these things so we get "vegetable wrap" "chicken wrap" "pidgeon wrap" and "yo, mtv wraps" instead

[brucegray666]

I thought it was the way it was folded rather than the filling made it a enchilada / fajita / burrito.
