There are times that something aches inside and you want to write. Write with the wish, or the hope, that the words might take some of the burden away. The keystrokes sound, like balsam to the soul. Sweet, as sparse notes from a symphony. But why the misery, why the sorriness, why the burden?

There are millions or zillions of reasons why you should worry, me, you, everybody. Like death,  hunger, cancer. But for mistakes? For mistakes of someone else? Or for the wonder, or whether those mistakes are tangled with yours, but muffled inside a cloud and blinding you so.

Curtain down.

Tilda birds

Although I'm not really sure what 'Tilda' stands for, they are the really cute fabric birds that you can make to decorate your home. I don't know how fast they can be made, but some of them are gorgeous.

Some photos I found here and there, I am definitely making one of these...

Crazy Little Thing by Tracy Borgan

OK this was not a 5star book, because it is not the quality type read that you choose in hope of finding deeper meanings or for making soul searching. But it is quite good for its type, with the exceptional quality of giving also a few laughs (which is quite rare I think). So I do suggest it to someone that needs something light to read, it is easy-flowing and not at all boring. Despite the fact that it does not feel so realistic.

I am simply wondering: why does it always have to be a super-hot guy? They do look excellent, probably even mouth-watering to some, but they seem unapproachable to everybody who does not spend their lives in a gym in order to match them. So, I am wondering, if Des (or any Des) were some more common-looking, less muscular guy, would he be less desirable? I think no. I think he would be even more seductive. Because then we, plain mortal women/readers, would feel it more possible to ride along him, when we fantasize ourselves as the girl (I can't even remember her name, imagine that!) instead of fighting the need to hide in the shadows. Just saying...

Sugarpaste Cake for our costume party (chocolate / walnut cake dressed up as Cheese... ;)

For that half of myself who blames the other half for missing out on blogging, I am posting the following with pride (ok, at the moment I was taking the photos I was rather disappointed because the sugarpaste had not come out Perfectly smooth, but it was pretty, pretty good for 2nd effort).

And, might I add, that the cakes were delicious, and with different flavors as well.

If anybody needs any tips, don't hesitate to ask.
