Burrito Bars Sans Tortillas We had a burrito bar at work for lunch. They forgot the tortillas. As the office manager told the restaurant, it sort of makes our burrito bar useless. So: burrito components, with nachos.
McKinley Routine Part 2 Forty floors up and down with the twenty pound pack in twenty-four minutes, holding a constant pace. That works out to thirty-seven minutes for the whole building. Now I just need things to weight the pack with.

Resistentialism I learned a new word today. Resistentialism: a jocular theory in which inanimate objects display hostile desires toward human beings.
Rubik's Cube Update I've taken the simple layer-by-layer method about as far as it goes; my best was seventy-eight seconds. Time to learn the Fridrich method, which means memorizing at least fifty-three algorithms instead of half a dozen.
