of breakfast and writing

[arguchik]

i am completely in love with grapefruit juice. this, after being a hard core OJ drinker for all but the last few months of my 40+ years of life. that early morning pucker/shudder really wakes me up. OJ, when i drink it for breakfast, tastes too sweet to me now. if i wanted cloying, empty promises for breakfast, i'd eat peeps. the grapefruit's bitter edge makes it seem more trustworthy, somehow. it's the juice that will follow through. today i'm having a special treat, albeit unplanned: the store was out of my usual brand of grapefruit juice, so i bought the higher-priced container of odwalla juice. what else could i do? buy OJ? not i. i have to say, the odwalla juice is particularly delicious.

oh, and i'm turning in the latest draft of my prospectus to my committee today. what is it about completing a draft of this huge THING that inclines me to wax romantic about my grapefruit juice?

I crave it, too. Does OJ block some enzymatic actions? Noooooo. It's bitter and vindictive, and I like my juice that way.

lol--yes, yes. bitter and vindictive. it makes you pay for drinking it. and somehow that boosts its trustworthiness. drinking it will be a strugle, and you will emerge the better for it somehow.
