a ticket-taker's smile at the Ivar theatre on a saturday night

             it's cold out there.

i'd like to go back to tuesday where there was snow - there wasn't a negative 11 degree windchill on tuesday.  wait, no, tuesday wasn't so great!  i cut my hand that day, not a deep wound just an inconveniently placed cut right down the middle of my palm so i couldn't open my hand or use my thumb without reopening it.  work was rather difficult since it didn't seem wise to bleed on the books...   and then wednesday, ugh, wednesday i started sneezing & spontaneously got sick.  i went home, slept a great deal & luckily felt okay in time for my date.  i accomplished my first vegan baking last night - gingerbread cupcakes.  they remind me of those ginger muffins at seven stars bakery, very strong & very delicious.  they came out excellent, even sans frosting, but definitely did not need the crystallized ginger.  (i didn't put very much in & next time i'll leave it out completely)   i guess i'm rather picky about my recipes, i'm so not interested in boring baking, but this cupcake cookbook is calling me!

oh, also, finally got word back on how much it would cost to fix my digital camera and i'm sorry, mom, but it's not worth it.  when i pick it up i'll ask them what's wrong because doesn't $225 seems crazy?  i'll start camera-shopping this weekend, but it looks like polaroids only for a little while longer...
