remote blogging

it has been exactly 30 hours since our home internet began NOT WORKING. and i thought i would be ok, but i am not. i feel as though i may  die. i need email, i need facebook, i need news, i need contact with the outside world. so i went to otherlands.
otherlands is this amazing little coffee shop about 2 blocks from my house. it has a couple different rooms, so there are appropriate places to eat, drink, socialize, study, or merely exist. there's wonderful local art on the walls- paintings and photographs- that's really inspiring me to get back into painting and crafting. i went to michael's craft store today to pick up some things for my booming (ha) card making business. i have made ONE card to date. and i was my own client. my friend rachel for into law school- yay!- so i made her a congrats card. i should have taken a pic of it to post here, but because i am such a brilliant business-woman... i did not. 

ok. let's get back on track. even though i hope that we can fix our internet soon, i think i may start spending more time here, just sitting, sipping, and browsing. it really has been quite and enjoyable hour and a half. despite many people's pessimistic attitude about memphis and what it has to offer, little gems like otherlands exist all over this city, and i'm always thrilled to find a new one.
