no punctures please

i'm trying to update and take my lunch break at the same time. i have time for neither lunch nor a break. discuss amongst yourselves. i'm spilling jalapeno ranch dressing everywhere, it feels like.

i had planned to post an update yesterday from bongo java this weekend, but there was a gentleman - the only person older than i in there - on the computer, not looking like he was hurrying or paying attention to the time limit. hmmph. i looked around and noticed lots of cute hot guys on their own powerbooks. which sent me into a "now i want an i-mac" mood.

also this weekend i woke up early-ish saturday morning (meaning: during the actual morning on saturday) and called my chiropractor's office. i haven't been in like a year but i remember that they used to be open sometimes on saturday mornings. so they answered the phone and i was all excited and asked if i could get in that day. they told me that the only thing they do now on saturdays is acupuncture. um, no. no. no no no no. and also, no. i know, i know, people swear by it and supposedly it doesn't hurt even really. it's just a matter of getting past the idea. but i'm not past the idea yet, myself.

on sunday i went to brunch at germantown cafe and y'know i used to love the brunch-going tradition. but lately? not so much. the food and service were great and i got to re-connect with an old friend whom i hadn't spent any time with in years, but sunday mid-day fancy-eatin' just isn't for me anymore. though if i never go to brunch, how will i get to eat the pepperjack grits i had yesterday? a quandry.

i've been wanting to go to memphis lately and have dug out some fragrance oils that i got from maggie's pharm. so i can smell like memphis. which may or may not sound appealing to you depending on your personal memories or impressions of memphis.
