I just got back from the A & W/Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet up in Brockton - oh god what a terrible lunch. I don't know why but I just had this terrible and sudden urge for a Cheeseburger - does that ever happen to you? It must at least be in part because I have been living with my brother and his family now for over a month and they are vegetarian. Plus, I am moving into a housing Co-op, who happens to be Vegan (at least for the shared meals), in about a week and that is an ever impending thought in my head. I'm not even a vegetarian, although I support their cause.
So anyways, I got in my car and drove the 10 miles to buy some shitty fast food, which I think, was mostly inspired by a "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" like moment, in which I either made up a memory, or this actually happened, of some nostalgia involving winning a youth soccer game and our coach taking us to A & W afterwords. Result: Everything was predictably terrible and made me feel awful. I now return to my desk to work knowing that at least the whole meal was only $5 and knowing that there really isn't such a thing as good cheap food. Although the Root beer from the tap might have been my one saving grace.
