Cupcake Haiku

Ever have one of those days where you really want to update your blog, but you've got nothing? That's me today. It has been a while since I posted any haiku. Ren clued me in to a request for haiku, in celebration of April being National Poetry Month, put out by the All Cupcakes, All The Time blog. So, I cranked a few out. I get on a roll with writing haiku and no, they don't all come out good, but I just keep going for awhile. I sent all of them in and one got published on the site!

I will confess that I'm not that into cupcakes, in spite of their trendiness. Don't get me wrong, they can be yummy, but I don't go out of my way to have or make them. I've never even been to one of those cupcake-only bakeries. Anyway, here's what I churned out in a brief span of time:

cupcake, sweet cupcake
I took a bite out of you
icing on my nose

velvet chocolate
in a tiny, little cake
oh how I love you

my buddy Karen
bakes some really good cupcakes
so very yummy

not just for parties
cupcakes are a trendy treat
just enough sweetness

soft, fluffy cupcake
incredibly sweet icing
dessert perfection

more than a cookie
much less than a piece of cake
tastier than pie

chocolate cupcake
with peanut butter icing
what could be better?

cupcake for breakfast
more cupcakes for lunch at noon
now my stomach hurts

homemade is the best
when you are talking cupcakes
no store bought for me

Yeah, I'm a dork.

Break It Down Again

In the interest of time, a quick list:

• This past Thursday, I went to Disneyland in a limo, as a VIP, with a group of kids from work. Did not wait in any lines, had 2 tour guides, ate for free (including ice cream in the afternoon). It was tons of fun, but I've never been so physically exhausted in my life. Pushing a wheelchair around the park (which I learned is not completely level) all day and lifting kids on and off rides can really do you in. Big time.
• I helped Eric and a friend on a film shoot on Friday. It's a puppet film featuring a couple of celebrity look-alike puppets, which look fantastic. I'll say more later, when I can talk about it.
  
• We finally got out to see V For Vendetta last night. I've heard mixed reviews among friends, but I really liked it. It was also so damn refreshing to see Natalie Portman acting again. I'm a fan of hers and believe she is talented, but only if she is not being "directed" by Lucas and saying his shitty dialogue.
  
• I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks ahead. I'm excited about the longer days and hope to return to evening hiking soon. But, why do I have a 7am meeting scheduled for tomorrow when I normally don't even work until 7:30? Someone planned that poorly!
  
• There's more I'd like to write about, as I've been 'away' for a few days, but there is a sale on hamster bedding at the pet store, so Rusty and I are going on a little outing.
