Lyrics of the Afternoon

Girl, that’s so not cool in so many ways
These were supposed to be my carefree single days
Instead I’m punching walls and coming up with ways
Ways to win you back from your new man.
Right now he’s a-probably moaning your name
The thought of it is driving me insane
Got to get religion just to ease the pain
Of thinkin’ about you loving your new man.

-Mason Jennings “Your New Man”

Love this song. Love “Fighter Girl”. But have mixed feelings about the overall album.

Fantasy: The Hob’s Bargain, by Patricia Briggs

Another – typically as you might expect from who the author is – completely entertaining, engrossing fantasy novel.

Dear Ms. Briggs,
Every book of yours I read just breaks my heart a little bit more than the last one. The characters are so enticing; smart and funny and strong and so many other things that you wish people were in your real life. I just want their stories to go on and on and on…
Seriously,
I want to marry Kith, do you know a real him for me?,
Duff.

Finally.

I think this is the best (baking) cookbook review I’ve ever read.

I’m so OVER stupid people going on and on about how hard things are. Or patronizing, say for random example, SHITTY bakeries that sell SHITTY TASTING BLAND AND STUPID cupcakes* and oohing and aahing over them because good lord cupcakes are just sooooo hard to make FROM SCRATCH.

People are idiots. I’m so over them. Baking is a stress reliever. Just ask Maida Heatter.

*If you’ve ever walked to my apartment, I THINK YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF THIS FRUSTRATION.
