Lunch And Other Ponderous Thoughts

There is this great little overpriced Thai place down the hill from where I work, called Saffron. Most central San Diegans know it. Their rotisserie chicken is scrumptious and fried noodle dishes fiery. When I'm having a sluggish day at work, I can very reliably be perked up by a midday visit there.

I wonder, however, how much of my patronage is due to the owner having posted up pictures of her and Martha Stewart together on the restaurant walls. By now, most close friends should know that I am some kind of sucker for Martha Stewart. She has made a total Attention K-Mart Shopper out of me, and you'd think that my apartment had a toxic mold problem, so verdantly decorated in green it is. So the real inquiry here is, what do I love more? Martha Stewart or Thai food? Ooh, that's a close one.

Speaking of Marthas, I saw that German movie last night, "Mostly Martha." It was charming, delightful, and very real. The overall theme of the movie was, "Germans are obsessive compulsive, and Italians know how to live life." Nothing I didn't already subscribe to; nice to see a self-deprecating take on it.

Congratulations to those law students of the Class of 2002 who just finished taking the Bar. I'm so proud of you that I'll get drunk with you tonight.
