Cupcake-mania

Folks have been on a cupcake craze lately, have you noticed? With cupcake specialty places popping up all over the city and all. I mean, don't get me wrong, like a cupcake here and there, sure, but this cupcake takes the...well...cake! I totally want this! Though I have very little use for it because I'm actually quite terrible at baking and don't really care for sweet stuff, but the reaction when you brought the giantest cupcake to a dinner party would be the best!



And these? Well these are just the cutest little things ever! How adorable to have these bad boys coming out of your hot pink iPod!

Hooooomid

Wow. It's crazy humid here. The weather has been super nice. In the 30s for practically weeks! Ok Americans...here's how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa. For C to F, multiply by 2 and add 32. For example, 30C = 30 x 2 + 32 = 92F....well, it's actually 86 but you get the point. And for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius...well, why the hell would you do that? It's already understandable. I think we should just all change to Kelvin.

4 days til vacation.

sad.

I went to a funeral today. The sister of a girl I work with was murdered last week. 4 - 5 males went around last week early Wednesday morning and stabbed 5 different people. She was the only one to be killed. They don't know who did it. It may be gang related initiation or something.

Then on the way back from the funeral, I was rear-ended by yet another loser in this city. It wasn't hard, a mere bump really, but the fat piece of shit didn't even get out of his car to apologize. Instead, he kept his fat ass in his Corsica (license plate number SK 992 SFJ) ate his sandwich and just shrugged at me.

I told him to 'fuck off' and gave him the finger. That made me feel better. *sigh* Humanity is very trying.

Haha.

FIRE!

Wow.

Friday I saw the biggest fire I've ever seen! It completely destroyed an entire apartment building. The flames were 75' in the air. You could see the smoke 10 miles away.

Super scary!

Here's the news story about it.

Cute handbag alert!

Look at the cute handbag I found at Zeller's today for $12! (Zeller's = toned down Canadian Target) I'm on a big bird kick lately. I don't know what it is but anything that has a stupid bird on it I just gotta get it. They had an brown one with an orange owl on it too (owls are another latest phase of mine) so it was a tough choice. I thought this one would be cuter with jeans and stuff though.

(p.s. that's my new kitchen behind me)

My new profession.

I pulled a George Constanza today. I'm officially a hand model. I have started my portfolio and I'm on my way to changing careers. Anytime you see a Mavericks Navigator* promotional photo with a beautifully proportionate and elegant hand holding the device, that is me. It's hard work being a hand model, but I really feel like I'm making a difference in the world.

*The Mavericks Navigator is an interactive PDA that gives you further information in the Mavericks galleries at the Glenbow Museum.

We did it. We're all moved in and almost all unpacked too. It was nice to have the long weekend to give us an extra day off. I'll post pictures when I find the camera cord.

Steve successfully installed a new kitchen faucet with a sprayer! The old one was gross and it leaked. He'll probably tackle the bathroom next as that also leaks. It's fun to do all the little projects and repairs but I wonder if the novelty will wear off eventually. When that does, we can curl up next to our fireplace and relax.

Some friends are coming over for fondue so I should get choppin' broccoooleeeee (insert Dana Carvey song here) for the tempura. mmm....foudue is fundue.
