Haneke vs. Hackney Gazette?

Dear Reader,

Last night we watched Michael Haneke's White Ribbon. A bewildering tour de force, but we expected no less from Mr. Funny Games. Normally, films like that keep the mind reeling for days. But it is hard, when your thinking on the walk from the bus stop to work is interrupted with this headline. This mind is boggled!

Oh yes. ICE CREAM CUPCAKES! MINT CHIP ICE CREAM CUPCAKES!

One only turns the age I turned recently once. And this is how I wanted to celebrate:
Rarely does my mental image of my cooking match the actual results. This how they ended up:

Delicious. I use the chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting recipes from this CUPCAKE BLOG. I froze 'pellets' of ice cream in my idli tray, assembled and returned to the freezer.

Seeking: Needle Point Loafer Kit

I want to make my own. Not with owls but with something else. Where can I buy a kit to do this?

half skinned gorilla ice skating! A vision in tattered tulle!

Dear reader,

So, on Saturday I was at the gym and luckily some European Ice Dancing Free Dancing Championships live from Zagreb were on the telly. Most of it was very nice, of course. But one number was so so very magical I nearly died on the elliptical trainer. Yes, the enchanting dance of the half skinned gorilla and his witch bride was exceptional. After a morning of research, I am giddy to bring you this very special presentation!

Modernism Makes Me Hungry...

Dear Reader,

Apologies for the silence. Things are very crazy what with my fitness kick, all of the books at the New York Public Library which demand my attention, etc. But I will take this moment to announce a new big plan. Yes, Christoph and I have a little transatlantic cottage industry going on and soon you will be able to view and buy our scrumptious designs, which will in turn finance our wedding celebrations which in turn you will prolly be invited to.

ATTACKED BY ZOMBIE IN PARK SLOPE

So, dear reader, you probably think of park slope like that recent .NYtimes article and as the land that has FARM. But, it also has a seedy side. Last week, when I was biking home from the coop, trying to make it before the downpour, I was attacked by a real life ZOMBIE. There I was, patiently waiting for the light to turn, and this Vicki Pollard-esque teenager on a fitness walk came up to me with blank blank zombie eyes and held onto my arm! She didn't say a thing. Luckily, the light changed and I pried her Zombie hands off of my arm, saying,"Ok, gotta go." Quelle cauchemar!

How bored are you?

Sometimes, dear reader, I have a lot of free time at work. And to cope with this problem, I have invented a super fun game:
1. Go to wikipedia
2. Click the "Random page" link on the left.
3. Use internal wikipedia links to navigate you to the wikipedia article on "scientology"
4. repeat until it is time to go home
