My eyeballs hurt. I had a crack in one of my contacts this morning that only really became unbearable while I was at work. It was so painful that I finally just took both contacts out and called my sister to bring my glasses to me. For about an hour, I actually worked with no corrective lenses of any kind, and I had to bring the bills really close ( Read more... )

I'm dressed oddly today. I decided I didn't want anything touching my thighs, so I put on a dress. Then I decided that the dress was too short to reallly move around in, so I put capris on under it. I'd really like to be wearing like, big footie pajamas and a huge, cushy knitted cape, but I don't know if that would inspire very much confidence in ( Read more... )

Well, this wouldn't all fit on twitter, so it goes here ( Read more... )

I don't think I've probably been showering enough lately. I'd taken a couple of days off because I was working and travelling and taking my math final (I passed! Yay!) but this morning when I got in the shower and raised my arms to wash my hair, I realized I smelled exactly like a homeless person ( Read more... )

I made a cake for my Dad's retirement party. I'm pretty happy with it. It's supposed to look like a big snare drum with Animal from the Muppet Show playing drums on the top. My favorite part is the Ritz cracker cymbals. The unibrow is what really makes the face, by the way. I thought I was all finished with him, but he just didn't look like Animal, ( Read more... )

Well, Shawn Johnson won Dancing with the Stars instead of my girlfriend Cheryl Burke, but I guess I'm okay with that.

I really really really prefer Kris to Adam on AI, but I think I can manage not to freak out too hard if Adam wins tomorrow. I actually don't think Adam will win, but I realize that it is a very real possibility at this point. I ( Read more... )

Ugh. I totally haven't been doing anything lately that's even in the same vicinity as 'interesting,' so read this post at your own risk.

And that sentence above is almost too convoluted to exist. Sorry. (Whatever. Stet! I'm letting that motherfucker stand!) Also, warning: there are spoilers for War and Peace ahead. So, if you're going to read it ( Read more... )

I'm making an animal cake for my Dad's birthday. Actually, back that up. Here's why my mom's awesome: My Dad's retiring, and he having this big party in June for my birthday, his birthday, his retirement, and Dyan's leave. Now, I've sitting around, wishing I had another cake to make for extra practice, but not really putting two and two together. ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night that I made out with Duff from Ace of Cakes. I think that's the most hilarious possible reaction to everything. Good job, unconscious mind ( Read more... )

Gratuitous pictures of my cake, which Emily really seemed to like, and I was pretty pleased with, especially since I'd never worked with gum paste before. Or really any kind of sculpture. The cake was Devil's food with fudge icing. We covered that with white fondant, which I painted with swirls. Then we made roses out of royal icing (partly to prop ( Read more... )
