Sail, thanks. I appreciate an objective viewpoint. I've read that guy's LJ, and he's most always like that: pompous and "in love with his own rhetoric", as you so aptly put it.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tend to frost cakes, these days, with whipped cream. Just take the cream, add a tiny tiny bit of powdered sugar, maybe some cocoa powder, or food coloring, or liquor, and then whip it up. The people at work love it!
Ganache is like that, but with chocolate. Basically you pour hot cream over an equal weight of chopped chocolate and blend until smooth. You can cool it and whip it for frosting, almost cool and pour for glaze (adding butter or some other oil helps with this), or cool and spread thickly (which is what I do).
It's less fragile than whipped cream, which I like too. But at room temperature it's perfectly smooth. But your option lets me branch into the citrus, which I do want to do. Also, maybe, chai whipped cream will work.

Oh darn. Now I want frosting.

ita, you can also add cinnamon to taste to the whipped cream, and make a lovely, light cinn-cream. I bet it'd be fabulous on bitter chocolate cupcakes.
Mmmm.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha! Just like the moving sidewalks! (And escalators, damnit!)
Are stores likely to close at 6pm today?

I think so, aurelia.
Well, I have dark chocolate/coffee liqueur ganache cooling in the fridge. I suppose it's time to start making the cupcakes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A t-shirt that has a real, big graphic equalizer on it: [link]
When we first heard about a T-shirt called the T-Equaliser we half expected to see a garment depicting a moody looking Edward Woodward (youngsters, get Googling). But no, the T-Equaliser gets its name from the fact it has a whacking great graphic equaliser across its chest.
But it's not some ironed-on picture of a classic LED equaliser (like the ones Capri drivers favoured back in the Harry Bigbutton 80s). No, this particular equaliser is of the electro luminescent variety, and it actually reacts to the music it 'hears'. How? Well a clever little mini battery pack is hidden in a pocket just inside the hem. This powers the gleaming LEDs on the equaliser. Clever, eh!
Rendering every other 'look at me' T-shirt utterly obsolete, the T-Equaliser is the ultimate in clubwear. Forget about sweary shock Ts and retro schlock Ts, this eye-catching shirt is guaranteed to mesmerise fellow clubbers and pubbers as it illuminates and moves in time to the music.
