august isn’t boring

Isn’t August supposed to be a quiet, boring summer month? That’s been my general impression of August – a month to wait it out until the fall arrives. It’s been an up and down month for me, mostly because of my job being lame and not being able to pay us on our scheduled paydays, which has been kind of stressful. I’m not as stressed about it as I originally was, if that’s some consolation. Instead I’m trying to keep up with the freelance thing and look for something better and of course, later on this fall I’ll have the partnership to look forward to.

On the upside, I’ve been doing some fun things. This weekend I went over to the Ken Club to check out a band Frank knows, called “Braaiins!“. I got a wee tip tipsy and rocked out and then got really sleepy. It was fun! Braaiins! also had some demo CD’s out and I grabbed the last copy. It actually has this cool insert with comic drawings and the lyrics for their songs. I thought it was awesome. Appropriately enough, the outside cover is of a brain.

I just got the second season of Dexter for my viewing pleasure which I plan on watching some more of soon. But I must make myself work first! And then I’m going to make cupcakes! And then, Dexter, you will receive my love.

I got some kick ass stuff at the cake decorating shop yesterday, including some totally cute gum paste flowers and dragees. Metallic dragees are apparently banned for sale in California… but um, I got some. I’ve seen on websites that they will not ship dragees to California and Wikipedia tells me they stopped selling them in 2003 due to lawsuit against sellers. Well, I’ll try not to report anyone but I’m going to use them anyway. Authories, please do not read my blog. In any case, prepare yourself for some cupcake photos later. Yes!
