Dear Subconscious,

I fed you a sandwich last night. You have no excuse for giving me such insane dreams! I love the Codex Alera and I enjoyed Project Runway, but YOU CANNOT CROSS THEM OVER, NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY.

Also Max is straight. He would not hit on Tim Gunn.

Love,
Me

Today, Obama gave an absolutely extraordinary speech on the subject of race in America, and you need to hear it. Or read it. Or have it downloaded to your brain like in The Matrix. And you need to do it now.

And what’s more? “This wasn’t a speech by committee. Obama wrote the speech himself, working on it for two days and nights…. and showed it to only a few of his top advisers.”

Without the merest whiff of my usual Obamania… This man needs to be our next President.

I just ran into Jillian from Project Runway on the subway! Underneath Bryant Park, of all places. We were walking opposite directions, and 90% of the time spent between noticing her and actually passing her was spent trying to discern if it actually was her, but the cute skirt and patterned hose alone were a dead giveaway. I told her I loved her clothes and she was by far my favourite finalist, and she said “Thank you” in that demure Jillian way. It was kind of awesome. Mmm, I love living in New York!

This just in! Gay people = toe cancer.

Also, gays are worse than terrorists and all of Islam is a threat to America and the Ancient Greek civilization only lasted a few decades. I know you were taught in schools that it lasted centuries, but that’s because our children are being indoctrinated, not educated.

Just so we’re clear on that.

Woo, finished the dye job on my Delirium wig! Nice to know that if I can’t get the extensions to look right, it’ll still look totally awesome without them!

Now, time to play some more…

Okay, time to go to sleep. But when I wake up, it’ll be time to play some more! I shall dream of playing. Take that!

Wow! I just heard from several people that apparently were not aware that this morning’s image of scrumptious Pear and Cheese Pie was my own! Let me set the record straight: YES! It is mine! MINE, ALL MINE! Well, Kristin’s too. :D

As proof, here is Kristin fighting the impulse to submerge her face in the fresh-out-of-the-oven pie, knowing that such an act will likely be as painfully scalding as it is delicious.

WOOHOO, Pi Day was a resounding success! We decided to order pizza rather than make it, as making the dough from scratch required more prep time than we were prepared to offer, but the pie making was lots of fun! I originally wanted to do my famous Apricot and Ginger Pie, but as apricots are a summer fruit, Whole Foods didn’t have any. Boo. Instead, I chose to go with a Pear and Cheese Pie, as pear was one of the few tasty-looking fruits available. Also, it’s reminiscent of Chuck’s Pear and Gruyere Pie on Pushing Daisies.

As promised, as we made the pie, we had the pilot of Pushing Daisies on in the background. It turns out Kristin hadn’t seen the pilot, so she kept sneaking glances as she zested the lemon and I chopped the pear into mildly obsessive-compulsive slivers. So ridiculously cute!

We each ate a slice (yuuuuuuuuuuuummmm!), and Kristin set aside a slice to take home, then I gave the rest to my neighbors.

HAPPY PI DAY TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD BITE!

It’s Pi Day on a Friday!

*calls friends and makes a list of ingredients for pizza pie and a yet-to-be-determined fruit pie*

PI(E) PARTY!

Maybe we can have episodes of Pushing Daisies on in the background…
