mm, cake

flipflop

Is this not the coolest cake you've seen, ever? It looks so yummy! I want one. I would probably feel guilty eating it, though, because then you ruin the, well, flip-floppiness of the cake. And we can't have that.
So...it's wednesday. Nothing too exciting going on. I'm reading "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. I know he's this great, well-known, classic author and everything, but I have to say, I'm not loving the book. It's all a bunch of people drinking and complaining about their marriages or their divorces or whatever. So far, not much has happened. But maybe that will change...who knows? I'm reading it for a class, otherwise I'd just stop reading it. Grr. My teacher was raving, seriously, about the book. Of course, she also thought that "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" was an amazing book, and I have to say, I disagree with her on that one, too. I mean, I know it's realist writing and not much is supposed to "happen" because it's about people's everyday lives, but, the authors could make the everyday lives more interesting, couldn't they?
And, what else? hmm. My cousin is getting married in August! So, that's our big, exciting, family news for the moment. She's the first of the cousins/grandchildren to get married....I'm the oldest, and I think she's the second oldest. Yeah, she must be, because she's older than Michael. Anyway, that's exciting. They live in Hamilton, so, we're hopefully going to be able to sort ourselves out to go to the wedding. I haven't seen her in ages. She came out here with her younger sister to visit once, for Spring Break, years and years ago. We had a lot of fun. She's kinda crazy sometimes. Poor girl got really homesick and spent half the night one time in the bathroom. But, y'know, apart from that, it was all fun fun fun!!!!
happy wednesday! i'll post again soon, hopefully with something more exciting than this.
