Always wait three days before calling a gentleman back...
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Are you ready to be strong?
I have skipped about 300 messages but I have to say something more about my beloved Paris Hilton. A lot of you have said things like "she hasn't done anything to deserve her fame," as though fame is something that should be granted only to people who have done something "worthy," but that's not how fame works. Someone is famous if people pay attention to her and want to hear more about her. It's not her "fault" she's famous; it turns out that despite the fact that she isn't an actress or a singer or a writer or whatever, people enjoy paying attention to her. She's the object of people's attention, therefore she's famous. It's not like fame comes first, then people have to pay attentionl, you know?
To believe that fame is something to be given (by whom?) only to the "deserving" is to doom yourself to a lifetime of frustration, not to mention anger at people like Paris, who seems harmless to me.
End of rant.

I have made the CI cupcakes. Now I wait for one half hour before I frost them with the buttercream frosting and taste them.
Anyone know if Arrested Development was on last night? If it was, our reception locked up, and we failed to tape it, so I'll need to go to When Come Back, Bring Tape.

I would really like a cupcake now.
Maybe I'll make muffins for dinner.

I've had cupcakes from that recipe. They are the holy grail of chocolate cupcakes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
You ARE a cupcake.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too, Rio.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm hungry. I don't want to make cupcakes, though.
