You're so Vain, You Probably Think this LJ is About You

I finally saw Sherlock Holmes tonight. I thought it was excellent! I mean, the story wasn't all that great and Rachel McAdams was not at her best, but I thought RDJ and Jude Law were fantastic. Even though they deviated in many, many ways from the characters in the book, the true spirit was there. Watson cut a much more dashing figure, but I can't complain about that. The easy comraderie and bits of hoyay! were just icing on the cake, so to speak. Although, I definitely don't remember any of THAT in The Hound of the Baskervilles...

Okay, meme time and then I have to get a snack as I am starving. Yet again.

Day 19 → A talent of yours

It ain't much, but I can bake a mean cupcake. I have yet to learn the secrets of great cake-making, but I got these little guys down pat. Yummy!

We had a potluck today (as "essential" personnel, we worked on the business holiday) and I baked cupcakes! They were a big hit. Hooray!!






Also, I would just like to thank the great state of California (who is issuing post-dated checks that are breaking our system). Because of them, I have to cut my vacation short and do a little work next week.

I am mad-craving cake right now. I could get off my lazy ass and make those banana cupcakes with chocolate icing that I have been planning for like a month now, but it's Sunday night and I just don't feel like it. Business idea #366: Cake/dessert delivery service. It's a good thing I don't have the money to be an entrepreneur - I'd go broke in no time! LOL!

In other news, at work they are subsidizing the "My Helper" program where, for a small fee, you can get someone to go grocery shopping for you, take your car to get tuned up, and even plan your vacation. The "helpers" are all bonded and have to go through a thorough background check, so you PROBABLY won't get an axe murderer or anything. I won't lie, I am sooooo tempted to try it. However, the shame of having someone run my errands for me when I don't have a good reason for not running them myself is holding me back. But I hate the grocery store real bad! Decisions, decisions.

This morning, JP and I went to see Outlander, which is not nearly as bad as the plot makes it sound (spaceman vs. other alien creature in the time of Vikings). It stars that hot guy who played Jesus in Passion of the Christ. Good to know he is still getting work. It's like Lord of the Rings meets The 13th Warrior and they have a hootenanny with Predator and Beowulf. I liked it, though even though some of it didn't make a lot of sense. It was worth the $4. And, you know, any excuse to eat popcorn.

Okay, I'm off to watch some Ouran, season 2 (huzzah!).

Mmm, finally made some chocolate-frosted banana cupcakes. Yay! Took the majority of them to work so I don't sit at home and eat a dozen in one sitting.

Ugh. I am so sick of my messy room and messy house! Almost sick enough to do something about it. Er...

Working massive overtime because we took Wednesday off for the holiday and the first week of the month is always busy. So, I came home today and took a lovely nap in which I had a very long, meandering dream where I jumped in and out of characters and Blake Lewis came to my grandma's house and painted a mural on her living room wall! Yeah, I know. What the Hell did I put in those cupcakes?

Also, I don't know if it's all the rain or what, but I've been getting really emotional. Especially at night when I am in bed, trying to sleep. I hate that. Not just the big, overwhelming desperation, but from a technical aspect: I get all stopped up with snot. That sucks.

Maybe I need some retail therapy?
