Apparently 2001 Was a Very Good Year

I’m not saying I’m like, super famous, but this is the third time the Town of Highlands newspaper has included me in their “10 Years Ago” section. Again, I reiterate, there’s like 100 people in the Town of Highlands. And at 17, I was pretty active, mostly because I was trying to get into really good colleges. So there’s that. It just seems that every time I’m home for the weekend I see my name in ink. The paparazzi can’t be too far.

Let’s hope that 10 years from now I’ll be getting as much, if not more press. Also, Sherry Meche won the quiz game! They really need to bring that back. I could seriously use a $50 gift certificate to the Park Restaurant.

Until my cousin RJ convinced me over the weekend to “send it out,” because RJ is the only person I know that has everything picked up and delivered.

Chipotle Unveils Gold Burritos, Magazine about Gold Burritos

So I’m pretty miffed. I’m a journalist and I frequent the local Chipotle more times than should be allowable by human law and etiquette. Yet today, Chipotle announced that it has started its own magazine, – The Gold Burrito Digest – and I don’t see my name anywhere on the masthead. The shame.

For starters, I would have written a much better press release. You can’t have “Limited Time Unlimited Time Only” marketing programs, Chipotle. Also, silver aluminum foil is not iconic. It’s aluminum foil. But I guess I can put all this behind me and continue to dine at your establishments. It’s really the only nourishment I get.
