Journaling - Post 2 - Day off notes
Notes from a work holiday (It's MLK Jr.'s birthday) spent on my couch.
1- British bakers are making cupcakes on this rerun of Cupcake Wars.
Butterfly cupcakes! They slice the top off, cut it in half, sprinkle them with sugar and then stick them on top so it looks like a butterfly. SO CUTE. AND YUM.
This other guy made a 'scone' cupcake but I didn't get it. He sliced it in half and then put the frosting on it and then put the bottom on top and it just looked weird.
They're making them for the Queen's 60th (or 80th?) year on the throne but I am doubtful that the Queen is actually going to eat these cupcakes herself. (Unless they look like butterflies.)
2 - silverweave (hihihi!) mentioned podcasts to me in my depressing money-whine post, AND there was a new update to one of my fave podcasts from PTV. I had faded out on TWOP toward the end, but PreviouslyTV is hitting all my marks. Their recaps are full of visual aids and make me LOL even when I read about shows I don't watch. (I never watch the Bachelor but I LOL consistently reading the recaps.)
BUT - they are podcasting a rewatch of all the seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 and even though I watched them at the time when I was young, it's so hilarious to think back on the eps now. They also have visual aids so you can check out what they were talking about in the podcast, like fashion and expressions. (They've just gotten to the 'Dylan cheats on Brenda with Kelly' storyline and I am enjoying it immensely.)

I have been 'reading' (aka listening to audiobooks) a lot more romance than I ever have before. Since I don't have a lot of sex, (aka any at all because that would require leaving my couch), I now consider myself a prude. Even the Regency recs (thanks overnighter!) make me cover my mouth and go "Oh my!" I just want to hand out rape whistles to every lady in a romance novel. "You don't even know him yet! It's only chapter two!"
I have read a few great YA Dystopian novels, but they are frustrating because they always end on a cliffhanger where you have to wait FOREVER for a second or third book.
I guess I just like books where falling in love and getting laid isn't the most important thing to the story.

Captain Sassy, my current fish, is a punk. There's a little castle in his bowl and he doesn't come up when I feed him - OR when I shine a flashlight into the castle to see if he is dead. Then I get the sink all cleaned out so I can empty the tank and give him a soldier's funeral - and the little bastard is there floating around flaunting his tail. I am too old for his shenanigans.
