  i finally did it. i gave in and went to the ridiculous nightclub-looking grocery store across the street and bought some ridiculously overpriced fruit for lunch. i mean, what IS this?! tell me it's not crazy. i've seen restaurants that look like bars or lounges, but this is a grocery store! why do you need fancy lanterns to sell cereal? and who calls a grocery store "Azure?"

   

   

   

  gripe, i will, but gave in, i did. the universal temptation of yuppies: convenience. since (the awesome roommate that i am) i had to wait for our contractor to come in and fix our windows today, i couldn't afford even the half an hour it takes to trek down to food emporium (where things aren't even that much better...say, $2.99/lb for peaches instead of $3.99/lb. GARGH...damn the city!) so reluctantly, i put on my yuppie costume (formerly known as ibanking barbie outfit) and braved the milling crowd of powerpeople and sticker shock.

  it wasn't so bad. the salad bar offers a mix of things, so instead of blowing $50 on fruit so i wouldn't die of constipation, i blew $4.80.

   

   

  sighs...all in a day's work.
