Baking awesomeness
This one’s for my sister: tutorial for décor sides. This is a technique where instead of writing words on a cake in icing, you actually BAKE the words INTO the cake itself. Pretty neat.

Romeo and Juliet
Kevin has done a mammoth post about love songs for Valentine’s Day, and you should go check it out. The big revelation for me though was that the Killers did a cover of “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits. How did I not know this?! That is one of my favorite, favorite songs. Kevin prefers the original, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the raw desperation of the Indigo Girls’ version. (I remember drunkenly belting that out many times with my college roommates. Yeah, I hung out with a lot of lesbians.) That said, I really like the Killers’ version too. Just bought it off iTunes, in fact…

Damn. Already did 1 extra repeat on sleeves, but I think I need another. WILL IT NEVER END?
Snook the cocktail waiter is plying me with White Russians. The Dude abides. Happy Valentine’s Day!
@venks79 Nice one! Wish I could run. 🙁
It appears I’m going to be at work 20 minutes early. No idea how that happened.
Bone scan is booked in for tomorrow! Should know within a couple days if I can resume running.

Guild meeting went GREAT. We had 49 people there! Letter got approved. Jenny H’s talk was fascinating. *phew*

@redambition @mrs_sockvictim Be there in 5-10 minutes…
Thanks @mrs_sockvictim for the lovely Moomin kerchief! I feel very chic w/ Hemulans, Hattifatteners & Little My. http://twitpic.com/12xcf5
Watching Buffy’s “Hush episode. Snook says: “Dude, this is what Twitter is for.” SO RIGHT! RT THE GENTLEMEN ARE COMING!
@crumpet Nah. He reads my tweets in his RSS reader.
@witty_knitter I think I must have missed that bit!

REM fans: who sings the “I have seen things you won’t ever see” harmony in Try Not to Breathe?
Heading to physio to determine if foot pain is just strain or something more sinister.
In addition to not running all weekend, I get to have a bone scan on my foot. Next GGR topic: dealing with injuries, I guess!
@sharre Ooh, what time will it occur? I’ll make a note in my agenda. 🙂
@zephyrama @Ascasewwen There will be no brawling! SuperConvenor is going to retain control if I have to wield a whip. 🙂
@venks79 Well, the hope is that it shows there’s no big problem and I just have a pulled muscle. We just have to eliminate that first.
It’s bucketing down. BUCKETING. I know it’s good for the plants, but I really hate it. And there’s the thunder…
