I actually think take-out fast food is almost always a mistake. So much better right there!

Yep. Of course, the only time I really eat fast food is when I don't have time to eat anything else, so I'm usually eating it in the car anyway.

Fries. I will travel for fries, and think they hold up decently. But burgers, nope. Pretty much always a disappointment. Other genres of fast food don't bother me so much.

I love McDonnalds fries when they're hot and fresh, and hate them when they're not. I think sometimes they let their fries sit too long, so the odds of "hot and fresh" aren't so great. So most of the time I skip the fries.

I eat McDonnalds for breakfast a lot, but I'm sorta' getting sick of it. Gotta get up earlier and make oatmeal, I guess.

If I have fries, I will heat them back up in the oven. Not as good as hot out of the grease, but not a horrible substitute.

Damnit you guys, now I want McD's for lunch. (Actually I want BK but there isn't one near me.)

Condolences, Calli. And I meant to say this upthread, but I`m sorry, Kathy.
 
Mm. Everything sounds good. I ate cold cereal this morning before I remembered l`d meant to make oatmeal. Disappointing.
 
I`m having a domestic day, though. I`ve got beef stock going in the crockpot (thanks to the Buffista who taught me how to do this.) and I`m getting ready to bake bread. Later today I have tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic to harvest. And it`s Office Clean All The Things Day because I am otherwise caught up! Yay! It usually takes longer after summer to recover. So massive workday. And then rehearsal tonight!

I eat purchased breakfast every work day, and it pisses me off. But I don't get hungry until after 8. I just need to shoulder the effort of making something and bringing it with me. But I'm barely making my own dinner.

When I was commuting from Trenton into NY, I was on a 6:50 train every morning. So I had hot tea while I stumbled into the shower, and more hot tea at the station for the train ride, and I didn't get breakfast until I was in my building -- more hot tea and usually a buttered roll. By then it was 8:15 or so, but I can never eat first thing when I get up.

Screw Burning Man: This year's greatest desert festival is a three-day Mad Max reenactment!

If you've always wanted to be a Road Warrior or watch two men enter and one man leave, then get your ass down to Southern California for Wasteland Weekend, a Mad Max-themed weekend featuring DJs, post-apocalyptic vehicles... and Bartertown.

We've written before about the burgeoning subculture of Mad Max reenactors — who gather to show off their cool replicas of the vehicles from the first two movies and recreate the classic convoy chase scene from the end of The Road Warrior. But this will be a different level. There will be three replicas of Max's pursuit special.

...

Where else can you wear your Auntie Entity costume and be regarded as a fashion icon? Plus the vendor area is actually called Bartertown, which is pretty awesome. Plus the DJs include DJ Liquid Sex Drive and Mrs. DJ Liquid Sex Drive, which is my new favorite pair of DJ names. So cancel your Burning Man tickets, and make your plans to find out who runs Bartertown!

I am in the SF office today, and I am supposed to be working, but there's no indication as of yet as to when I will have a working computer.

Who's up for a game of FCM?
