So yes. I am up late. Again. Kill me, why don’t you? Do you know what I am doing? Making a cake. Why? I don’t know. It’s brunch tomorrow. No one will probably have cake, but yanno what? It’ll be pretty on the counter. Well, I think, anyway. I opted for a bundt cake. It’s so much easier. I just don’t know how it’ll look as a yellow cake. Now I have to do the frosting more like a glaze. *sigh* I think I am crazy.

Also I am enjoying the official drink of the @blueteam. So that’s fun. Plus every now and then I hear from Shel. I miss that crazy kid! It’s weird when you chat like every day for like ever and then go to maybe once a month. It’s like my therapist went part time! Sheesh! And I mean that with love… *blows kisses north*

Okay. I think I need to focus on my glaze now. Shit. How the hell am I doing that? Nuking the frosting I think… Yes. That will work…

Easter Brunch is at my place this year. It has been hinted that the house should be “decorated for Easter”. Decorated for Easter? What? Huh?

Is there such a thing?

So today we ventured into the local Michael’s to look around. It turns out I was right. Not a lot of Easter decor. A lot of little things like for a table… So I am actually at a loss. What the hell do I do? I bought some fake red daisies for the table since I loved the real ones, but I can’t just keep buying fresh flowers. The cats might eat ‘em, plus maintaining them can get expensive. Those are kinda just for everyday tho. I also got some fake tulips. The tulips really say “spring” and they had red, so they totally match my decor. I put those into a glass pitcher on top of the bar. Now for the actual brunch I bought three traditional Easter baskets. I figure it’d be cute to do breakfast pastries and muffins in those.. The last thing I figured I’d get, and I don’t even know if it exists, is a large paper mache or plaster type rabbit. Something at least knee high for next to the fireplace. I think that will be impossible. But plan B would be fresh Easter lilies by the fireplace. We were going to get some anyways, it’d just be one or two more. We’d just have to put them outside right afterwards… I also think we should have hard boiled eggs on-hand and we could dye them, but that might be too over the top. No one in attendance is going to be age six. In fact, yeah, bad idea.

Anyhoo. I’ll have to remember to photograph the whole affair. If I pull off “decorated for Easter” I will want to record it for the internets..

UPDATE: Easter / SPRING decor attempts on Flickr.

Brunch today was at The Top of the Market. It is a fancier version of The Fish Market. In fact it is right upstairs of the Tuna Harbor location. I love a champagne brunch on Sunday! Especially with our crazy group. Notorious (to borrow a phrase), all of them. Just like Tori. Heh.

But the reason I post this is because we were near this very famous statue…

Unconditional Surrender, a 25-foot, 6,000 pound statue by world-renowned artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo was unveiled Feb. 10 at Mole Park in San Diego. Unconditional Surrender is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day…. Unconditional Surrender was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Fla. in 2006. The statue made its way here, and will stand at the G Street Mole Park for duration of 2007 before traveling to its next home. The statue is owned by the Sculpture Foundation of Santa Monica, Calif., and is on loan to the Port of San Diego.

Apparently it is the place to get your photo taken. Lot’s of couples were mimicking the pose, all romantic. There are a bunch of shots on Flickr by various people. You get the idea…

Then there is our version:

We are sooo pervy. Look at that girl passing in the foreground. I could tell she was thinking we were total perverts.
