BARBED WIRE KISSES

: "subbacultcha." the pixies.

at the tone, janaki will be:

*chokes*

er, oh 3v331 one, DEPECHE MODE slash?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!

why do i ph34r the involvement of armpit licking in this particular venture? >.<;;;;;;

*pokes around, finds this site*

one question though, dude. how, exactly, is DM slash not considered RPS...?

oi. something new to break your head every single day, i tell you. XD

Spaz' birthday went okay. he liked his presents. i was glad. he liked the wrapping paper, too. and the cake turned out pretty well...it was a sour cream chocolate cake topped with a variation on buttercream frosting. the thing that SUCKS about buttercream frosting (when made from scratch...REAL buttercream frosting, thank you very much) is that you have to work with it QUICKLY, or else it melts and won't do what you want it to. like, say you've got a cake decorator gun or a pastry bag with tips or what have you and are trying to make fancy decorations? er, if you don't do it quickly enough, the frosting will just run out and melt. which sucks. thus, small bursts of freezer time become a necessity, cos rarely does decorating a cake go that quickly. XD

at any rate, i mixed up a really neat shade of red that was sorta glittery too...used a copper gel, a gold gel, and a purple gel and came up with this weird nearly blood-red glittery colour that i used for the decorations...the rest of the cake was done in plain white frosting. the only part of it i had bought was the only part that had a problem...it was this little tiny tube of black gel icing so i could write "happy birthday" on the damned thing, but there was apparently excess dye in it...which was far too liquidy and which leaked out and made it look like giant ink blots had accosted the "h" in "happy"...--;;;

aside from that, though, i was pleasantly surprised...my decorating skills (and frosting skills in general) seem to have improved. XD which is even more amusing when you consider that really, i don't have cause to decorate cakes very often...pretty much once or twice a year. XD go me. *coughs* perhaps i'll figure out a frosting that's less fragile than buttercream, though...pity more don't work as well for this sort of thing. *nikoniko*

Keito-chan, i was at Mitsuwa this weekend and when i saw Deep River on the new releases wall at Asahiya, i thought of you. XD a little rich for my blood at the moment, but someday i'll get it. XD

it finally rained here last night, and it looks like it's going to rain more today. as long as it's not obnoxious and horizontal when i'm trying to go home tonight, i'll be more than happy with it. it's also supposed to be cooler this week. yay! ^-^

oh, and one more interesting tidbit of news from this year's Comicon: Devil's Due Publishing is going to be putting out a Radiskull and Devil Doll comic starting at the end of this month! ^_________________________^ i hope it doesn't suck...we saw some samples at the con and it looked pretty good. i'm excited at the moment. if you haven't already become familiar with R&DD, i highly suggest you go and check them out.

(randomly, i see upon checking my stats that someone found HSL using this query. O.O;;; dude. er, NO. you aren't going to find that here. >.<;;;;;;;;;;;)

janni likes to cook and bake. a lot. but mostly? she likes to sharpen her knives. because a dull knife is a dangerous knife, and we simply can't have that...
