Am baking the most


Am baking the most delicious cake this afternoon. I can't wait to feel it in my
mouth and lick it from my lips and sip a demi-cup of creamed coffee between my
trips to heaven. We watched Welcome to Collinwood last night. I can't decide if
I like it or not. Luis Guzman may be funny to some people, but I personally do
not find him very talented. He sounded like he was from Brooklyn in The Count of
Monte Cristo. I liked him, but didn't appreciate his lack of complete character
in his accent. BTW, that was one of Richard Harris' last films. He was so superb
in anything he attempted. Another one I must complain a bit about George
Clooney. When I see him in a movie, I see...George Clooney. The one exception is
O Brother Where Art Thou?. He affected a convincing accent and only lost it
occasionally, but other than that one, I haven't seen any depth to him. But!
William H. Macy, Sam Rockwell, Michael Jeter, Isaiah Washington, Jennifer
Esposito, Patricia Clarkson, and Gabrielle Union were fabulous in this movie.
And, the soundtrack includes Paolo Conte. I first heard Paolo Conte in French
Kiss (another one of my catalogued favorites). I fell immediately in complete
infatuation with his music. I decided to buy "The Best of" for my mother for
Christmas, along with her usual giftcard to Dillard's. She saves it until the
end of the summer sale and then buys $500 worth of clothes, shoes, and
accessories for $100. She is the consummate shopper. She can smell "deal on
beautiful clothing" from a suburb away. The girls are going to play at church
tonight. They have all chosen their own music: O Tannenbaum, We Three Kings of
Orient Are, O Little Town of Bethlehem for piano. E is playing Cello in a
stringed trio. She only started two months ago and is progressing very well. All
of our girls exhibit a love for music and a desire to express themselves
musically. Fortunately, with that desire comes an obvious gift for it as well.
That makes mastery a little easier. I must go frost the cake. I will place it on
a red antique cake pedestal. I think that food should be dressed fashionably as
well as taste fabulous. Our eyes are drawn to attractive things in all
situations and the first to communicate desire to our brain, heart, and well,
stomach, too.
