A meandering, mainly food-centric posting.
By the way, in my previous post I neglected to mention precisely what was so special about my ill-destined birthday cake. See that picture I drew on it in green gel? That’s a person being boiled alive in a cauldron, in keeping with the zombie/tiki/tropical island theme. Naturally, I was upset that no one got to admire my handiwork in vivo, so to speak.

Who remembers the sad fate of the honey bunny? Bear witness to the chocolate bunny’s funeral (though the pics will appear in reverse chronological order).

This is the sluttiest vegetable I’ve ever seen in my life.

These cookies are against the war in Iraq. I will actually have more pictures of them, as soon as I upload them from my camera to my computer, and then put them online.

I spent the night at my family’s house last night, taking advantage of the free laundry and internet…my parents are out of town, but I hung out with my brother. It took an extremely long time to get here from my new place, since the N train went local through Manhattan and the first 4 stops in Brooklyn…then went express at Pacific, forcing me (and my large bags) to get out and wait for the R local…for what seemed like eons. Allow me to advise you that even if you do decide to stay up late watching amusing British cop movie spoofs, it is still probably not a great idea to have seconds on your spicy Chinese food, plus a chocolate cake chaser, around midnight.
Breakfast this morning? Pepto Bismol and an Excedrin chaser.

It’s striking how much bigger and cleaner my house seems now that I don’t live in it anymore. Striking and slightly sad. I head back to my apartment tonight, and the shifting mounds of cardboard boxes, cookware, clothes to be ironed, et al. Living alone is taking some getting used to, as I expected. On a related note, I scheduled cable installation today. I’d had difficulty deciding whether to get TV (internet being an absolute given; how else can I look things up on IMDB in my underwear at 3 AM?), but ultimately decided that I like TV enough to splurge. I’ll probably really appreciate it when it gets cold outside…plus maybe fall 2007 will be the breakout season for new, ultrahip, non-reality sitcom!!! Not. I’m not going to lie to you, I plan to use my fancy new flatscreen, HDTV and DVR to tape Kathy Griffin, movies shown at 2 AM, SNL, and Reno-911!, plus re-watch things like "I Love the 80s" and "Awesomely Bad Celebrity Hair." And I’m comfortable admitting that.
As for the internet, I must say I’ll be relieved when I can rely on having it available anytime. Until then, darlings, any urgent matters (ha) should be taken up with me by telephone. TTFN…
