test tasters take the cake. hi metachat. i made you a cake.[More:]
i'm not an experience pastry chef, so last weekend i decided to experiment with a cake from scratch that i guess you could call some kind of apple yellow cake. it came out to enough batter so i could make a whole separate round cake on the side for tasting purposes.
The tasting response was "OMFG, this is really good!" so i was pretty happy with that and then tried to enlist help in making the frosting so i could sculpt it into something worth showing. It was a toss up of a netsuke rabbit or just some demented looking rabbit screeching in defeated pain (i was leaning toward the latter) when the tasters rebelled.

"No! No, you can't! Frosting would ruin it! It's perfect!"

I explain how people on the internet cannot taste the cake and must taste it with their eyes and now there have been lots of birthdays and remember all those other times i said iwas was making a cake for them and some people decided eating it was better and motherfuckers you just wanna eat the fucking cake goddamit-- fine, ok, you can eat the cake IF you go online and apologize to the people that live in the computer for eating their cake and explain that it did exist but you eated it.

"Aww...no, i can't do that..."

Cut to the end, a mixture of shame and pity has resulted in too little cake for you to eat with your eyes. But i tried.

In other news, a firmware update has possibly knocked out my logic board. This is not good as it is not a euphemism.
Not even one tiny crumb that I can devour with my peepers??

what's left ain't pretty.
i plan to cram it in someone's cakehole later.
it's about as ugly as apple not warning people about fucking firmware.
hmm. it's all apple related problems.

what would your eyes like? i definitely feel the need to get baked, er, baking, um, both.

hmm. it seems i have a connection problem as well.

also, the amount of fear and shame involved with using internet culpability is both strange and amusing.
