As I mentioned in a recent posting, I designed a holiday cake. In fact, I had a cake party in its honor.
As you can see, the cake was definitely cake party-worthy, and a good time was had by all who attended.
The reason for the cake (given that it is premature for a Christmas cake) was I am entering it in a contest. I have been trying for the past hour to send the images, but to no avail! This is so frustrating.
In the meantime, nobody ever saw Gina's birthday cake, so I might as well post that now, too.
As everyone should know, Gina loves chocolate chip cookies, so what better medium for her birthday cake design? Getting the John Mayer logo right was quite a task -- given that you can't just roll out chocolate chip cookie dough, but I was pretty pleased with the end result. She loved it. I can't believe it took me this long (almost 3 months) to post a picture of it.
Let me get back to resolving this email issue...
I opted for a short and sweet subject today because my aim is to clarify a few points.
Make no mistake... the missing rap lyrics were not mine. I cannot take credit for the brilliance embodied within them. Trish may be on to something, though -- the person that stole the index card may have been the same person who made the disappointing Oreo sundae shake.
Also, I picked today's subject for this segue -- the guitar that I am trying to win for Gina is, of course, autographed by John Mayer! One of his songs is titled Clarity. Oh, and, he bakes cakes, too.
How was that for another nice segue? Speaking of cakes, consider this an official statement: I owe Tricia a cake as soon as we are in the same place, and time allows for the baking of said cake.
Who has an iPhone? If you have one or know anyone that does, please download the game, Freedom Run (or get them to download it). Oz made it, so I am encouraging everyone to get it and play it like nobody's business. Warning: There is no ending. Your goal is to score as many points as possible and get on the leaderboard. That's it. Simple enough, right?
It's too early in the day for me to making any meaningful statements. That will be another day's mission.
I know the subject sounds like a Nancy Drew mystery, but I assure you that it is much more serious. Last night, Sash the Mosh discovered that one index card (on which she wrote part of the lyrics to her I.F.T. rap) was missing. She searched high and low, but to no avail. Hopefully, she will find the missing index card today. I dedicate this posting to her in the hope that she finds those brilliant lyrics.
Also, I owe my loyal readers an apology. I have been slacking. I promise that I'll step up my game. The good news is that I am back! (It's not like I ever left my computer, so I don't even have a good excuse for why I haven't been typing away.)
Anyway... let's go with some stream of consciousness type stuff:
- Scrabble (via Facebook) occupies more of my time than it should.
- I am going to make an INTENSE holiday cake in an attempt to win an autographed guitar for Gina. Anyone hungry? I'll have samples for those who are interested and can show up to where the cake will be.
- The job search is so dreadful that it hurts my feelings.
- I am in yet another 3-star rut. Hopefully, today's Netflix will break the pattern.
- Oh man... I got the most awesome sneakers to add to the collection. I'll have to take a picture and post it for you to see. They are SICK!
That's enough of that.
I need to figure out what I'm doing right now. I should be on my way to Delray to have a mini-reunion with Merin and Matt Fox. After all, she needs me. In fact, she called and left a message, saying that Matt was talking crap about Scrabble and that she needed me to come up there to regulate. Nice, right? It's good to know that my Scrabble addiction pays off every now and then.
You know what I hate? Well, lots of things, actually, but, in this instance, I am referring to one specific thing. I hate when you have something (in this case, an Oreo sundae shake from Burger King) that rocks your world, but, when you have it the second time, it falls totally short of your expectations. That's such crap. I had the shake a while ago, and it was awesome; last night, it was missing some key components. Talk about lame...
Now that I have depressed myself a little more, I guess I should bid farewell for now. I promise I'll be back with more nonsense from the depths of my mind.
