oh my!
ira glass is on david letterman! i am overwealmed by lanky, bespeckled, older men i am bizarrely attracted too.
ooh...and regina spektor is the musical guest?!
i got home tonight and baked a cake. tried to bake a cake. i put 1/2 a cup of flour instead of 1/4 cup and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder instead of 1/2 teaspoon. i might have ruined it, but how will i know until i go to serve it? this is why i love to cook but hate to bake. cooking is intuitive and creative. you taste and add what you think you need and if you mess something up along the way there is still a chance to fix it. sometimes the mistakes lead to delicious new discoveries. baking is precise and unforgiving.
i have to go. i've done nothing but write and sit in front of a computer all week and why i am doing this during my first moment of downtime all week is....gross.
One last thing...I love this song...
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
