I am writing this a few hours after eating the burrito. It's been a pretty busy day. A certain americana band of brothers is in town, and their fans are pretty intense. I'll do my best to recount my bean experience to you. The mall was incredibly quiet today. I still can't believe the Grand Corner convenience store is gone. As I walked up the stairs, I heard absolutely no sounds coming from the food court. I was very afraid I was going to find a foodless court atop the stairs. What would I do if that happens? Maybe the question is what will I do when it happens? I'll probably just have to commit seppuku right there, letting my blood spill onto the food court floor, and down the escalator, and maybe some of my blood will mix with some leftover bean juice. My juicy remains will seep into and soak and stain the walls of the Grand Avenue Mall, and I'll become a part of the mall until it is no more. Maybe I'll livestream it! Not today, though. Today Pauly D was there, and I live to eat another burrito. The brown rice grains looked bigger and puffier than normal. I don't know if they got a different strain of rice, or maybe they cooked the rice with more water or something? It was stickier than usual. I don't have a strong opinion about how it tasted, just an observation, but because it was so sticky, a significant amount stuck to the spoon Pauly served me with. I don't believe I got the full intended portion. The beans weren't that much better. Definitely some half-and-half beans instead of both kinds of beans. At least the veggies looked pretty good today, but again, he didn't really give me a ton. The shining star today was definitely the guac, which usually doesn't stand out. Of course I always appreciate the guacamole, and I miss it when it's not there, and I talk shit when it's not distributed well, but today was different. The guacamole tasted extra fresh and zesty. I loved it. Even though I think Pauly D did me kind of dirty today, I still have positive feelings because of the guacamole. I might try to get one more burrito in before I go on a trip to Denver to visit my brother next week. I'm not sure if I'll visit any exotic Qdobas on my journey, but there's always the possibility.
