dammit. i should use this precious time to do work. but i'm just not feelin' it. yes i'm at pick at 9 in the morning, why do you ask?
dave is here this weekend and i gave him the best birthday present ever, which would be an alton brown shirt that says: "Science: It's What's for Dinner". i rule. it's kind of a toss up over which girlfriend gave the best present, me with the ab shirt or derin with the detroit pistons starting lineup mix for dan's bday. basically derin and i are awesome.
i also made cake once and frosted cake twice for sarah's and dan's birthdays. the cupcakes i frosted for sarah turned out well. i was less pleased with the frosting on the cake i made for dan. the letters for "happy birthday" turned out okay but the word birthday looked a little like it was going downhill. also i tried to do a blue line border around the top which looked crooked and wierd. i need to remember that the speed of my hand along the surface of the cake must be proportional to the strength with which i squeeze the bag of frosting. i want to decorate more cakes. i should go visit my grandmother and have her show me the things from the cake-decorating classes she teaches.
i'm in a "cool words" mood. dubiously, cantankerous, squibble, peach, meridian. it makes me want to play scrabble even though i suck at it.
