Latest Cake Creations

Today I finished making cakes for taogrl's birthday party. Now that she's seen them, and her guests have consumed them, here are the cake details.

Oooh, Quote Time

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well- warmed, and well-fed.
- Herman Melville

There's something to think about.

I slept rather soundly today, woke up at 7 and then went right back to sleep, waking up at 9. I was indeed sleepy.

Soon, I will have to go to work, but first I will relax a bit at Panera Bread, having lunch and some light reading.

taogrl's party was quite pleasant last night. Her formula was Drinking, Dancing, Cake. And Drink we did, dance we did, eat cake, we did. Also, the hors d'eouvres were quite nummy. People seemed to enjoy the cakes, though there were some leftover. Folks ate around my eiffel tour center, so it became perched on the coast of cake like a beacon for cake eaters everywhere.

taogrl's coworkers from her old bank job came and were quite delightful. The 25 yr old contingent came, as well, and I am now educated in the ways of the "stripper move" on the dance floor. I imagine these girls at home practicing this for hours, yet stopping just short of seeking an actual stripper's career.

It's warm here, in Elk Grove. However, it is not yet miserable. I'm glad I'll be working in air conditioned areas, though.

Sunday's Report

Work went productively. After work, I felt movieish, so I made haste to a nearby theater to see "The Island", starting Ewan McGregor (of the clan MacGregor, I assume. There certainly can be only one Ewan. purrrrr) and Scarlett Johansson. I enjoyed the movie, despite the fact that plotwise it wasn't all that exceptional. The action sequences were fun, though. It makes for a delightful escape from reality. Your mileage may vary, however, if you don't think Ewan and/or Scarlett are as solar-hot as I do.

The movie does bring up an interesting issue, however. ( There be spoilers here )

This meme made me laugh

You are dependable, popular, and observant. Deep and thoughtful, you are prone to moodiness. In fact, your emotions tend to influence everything you do. You are unique, creative, and expressive. You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while. And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming!

The World's Shortest Personality Test

Yup, until this moment, I was rather certain that a majority of my decisions are influenced by logic. After this moment, will resume my contention that logic tends to influence everything I do.
