Before & After
We finished the project in our sitting room! I’m not 100% happy with the color of the paint on the walls. I want it to be darker. However, we’re leaving it up because it makes the room look a lot cleaner. Further color decisions will be made later. The room, as a whole, looks brighter, I think. I’m mostly pleased with how everything came out. Before/After photo after the jump.
Cakes Hate Me
I just took the geekboy’s carrot cake out of the oven. It smells good. As I flipped the first layer onto the cooling rack, it fell out of the pan faster than I expected, and broke into several pieces. After I just stood there, staring at the mess, in shock, I pulled myself together and shoved it all back into one piece. I’m really hoping it will be okay. Once I put frosting on it, it should hold together, right? RIGHT? The other layer came out fine. I really don’t know why I suck so badly at making cakes. My cakes fill the two pans, but when I take them out, they seem so thin. My cakes always seem so short. They look pathetic and flat. Hate.
Larry Craig Still Hates Himself
So yesterday the Senate passed a hate crime bill. Larry Craig voted against it. The world must be a very lonely place when you are mired down in such self-loathing.
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce
I should be downstairs, prepping the kitchen for the baking of the geekboy’s birthday cake, but instead I’ve got the television on up here, waiting anxiously for the Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band performance on the Today show. JERSEY!!!
Happy Birthday, Geekboy!
Today is the geekboy’s 40th birthday! Can you believe it? He still looks like a kid. My goal today is to get 40 comments/40 nice things written about the geekboy. I’ll start!
Edited: Wow! You guys have almost 30 by 12:30pm! Keep it up; ya’ll are the best.
Edited: 37 by 2:00pm! Only three more!
Edited: 2:42pm! 40! Thanks, everyone!
Pieceless Puzzle
Dumbest Idea Ever. I watched three seconds of the infomercial and got an immediate mental image of myself flinging that thing into the ocean.

Mistrial for Phil Spector
Somebody explain this to me. How could they not come up with a verdict for Phil Spector? Seriously. Another celebrity buys their way out of jail time. Gah.
