Day 333/365 (July 17, 2009)

i am so over tucker right now. i woke up to his incessant barking to be let out of his crate, of course i cant let him out if he is barking or whining so he doesn't think he can get his way... well he wouldn't stop for like twenty minutes! i finally let him out and he starts playing with one of his toys which means he keeps thinking he is burying it and then he barks at it forever! i am sick of the barking, and then while i was in the bathroom he got a hold of my hand and and bit and it didn't bleed but the pain from it is still coursing through my hand... i am done done done.

i spent some time today looking through my photo blog's beginnings since i am so close to achieving success! it is kind of crazy... without looking at what i wrote i would say abut 90% of the time as soon as i saw the picture i knew just what had happened that day and what i was about to read! i just didnt realize how nifty it would be to be able to reflect, i know i will continue this after i make it to 365, it might not be an exactly everyday thing, but it will continue because i can't let go of a great way to reflect back on my life!

Success was mine when i finally found red velvet cake mix not at the store by kim like i thought i would, nor at the store closest to The Duplex, but finally at a Gristede's somewhat close to The Duplex... man oh man that took so long! i then went and met up with mark, and then joey to see patrick in a show called As Gay As It Gets at The Duplex... first time i have been there during normal hours and not mostly sondheim. Beforehand Mark and I grabbed some grub at a Qdoba and it was yummy.

The show was super cute and pretty funny and Patrick was fabulous! it ended about 8:10 and then Mark, Joey, and myself met up with Patrick in the main upstairs bar area. Seriously i have never spent any time there except waiting to get into mostly sondheim but it was actually pretty fun and at one point one of the creators of the shw came over and hung with us for a while... we spoke of lots of things and i never once turned red and it was just a good time.

the three of us (mark left sadly) went into mostly sondheim and this week brian and kate were away and it ended up being just Marty Thomas and Jon, who was filling in for Brian. Dom joined us and so did two others (michael alden and greg). a few of the highlights of the night were marty's one man omigod you guys from legally blonde, patrick actually singing a sondheim song, dom singing things are moving too fast and proclaiming that rose's turn has been retired unless someone puts $20 in the bucket, my bashing the harry potter movie, and the super awesome employees. the lowlights would be patrick and i planning on singing suddenly seymour until sydney sun it with someone else, so i decided to sing good morning baltimore and someone else singing it, then deciding on singing out tonight... and well i tried but it didnt go well... lesson learned do not attempt singing unless brian is at the piano since he understands my ineptitude at following along with music and can help me along... yea not that song ever again! also it became like rent night with la vie boheme parts A and B with I should tell you, what you own, and i'll cover you reprise being sung... yea i guess it made me miss rent because i started getting all teary eyed at one point, and i am sad i can't make it to boston to see the tour one last time... even though i thought i had made my peace with it back in New Jersey!

anywho after a fun night it ended at like 3:40, then i headed to path mark and bought the eggs i needed, came home and baked the red velvet cake so it had time to cool. seriously i woke up around 8:15 in the morning and this night i went to bed at 6:30... it was a long long day! but fun all around!

ps today was half evil as far as my blog is concerned since 333 is half of 666

Day 293/365 (June 7, 2009)

i woke up and cleaned my room hardcore! i also bought the final supplies for making of the cake, and bought some drinks and chips for the party. then i waged war! i made the rice krispy treats for the medallion and then the rest for us to just eat. i cut the cake and frosted it. I wrapped the wire in super awesome gold ribbon and when the rice krispy was hard enough i wrapped the ribbon over the parts of the dowel that would be exposed. then i frosted the treat and sprinkled the glitter sugar on it, and then after it refrigerated to firm it up i used the glitter gel to do the details... then i waited. ps i succeeded greatly because my bad boy cake never actually fell over! it did fall apart because the rice krispy treat medallion broke in half after 25 minutes (it got real hot and i think the marshmallow in the treat loosened up and SPLIT!). but i said i would be happy if it lasted at least 5 minutes and it surpassed that greatly!

i did so many dishes throughout the course of the day to keep the place clean and watched lots of tv until our guest arrived. we ended up with so much food and we ate a lot! there was amazing fruit (watermelon especially) and veggies and chips with onion dip, and raspberry iced tea, and i dont know what it was but fruit on some spongy thing with ice cream, and duh rice krispy treats, and my cake!

sasha, amelia, and her roommate nicole came to celebrate. we watched the TONY's which was pretty not great... the performances were weird (especially the opening number) and the sound was terrible, as in someone wont be working this event next year! billy elliot took almost every thing they were nominated for which was so freaking wrong! no way should the three billys have one best actor in a musical! and sieber lost best featured actor... CRIMINAL he is the best part of shrek and just embodies the character so well, not to mention the psychical aspect of it. Neil patrick harris did a great job hosting,t oo bad they didnt let him onstage/screen more!

anywho after the show ended krysta and i did a quick cleanup and i didnt go to bed because i am a fool, but i caught up on the last four days worth of blogs!
