willpower is overrated
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Since Thursday is my birthday, I thought we should have some cake around here. I stole these images from Cake Wrecks, a website that celebrates the untalented, the screw-ups, the clueless and the creepy of cake baking. It’s a lot like Regresty only with icing and not as snarky and disturbing..so maybe not quite as awesome, but awesome nonetheless. Okay, grab a fork…
Birth is always a good place to start. Dig in to this beauty!
Maybe the birthing process makes you a little queasy? Try this one instead. I can’t decide if the cake is eating the baby or the baby is hatching from the cake. Whatever. Cake is cake, right?
Still too birth-y for you? How about we skip the process and dig right in to the baby! Oooh, my mouth just watered a little.
I’m sorry. Is that too weird? I guess even pretend-babies are too precious to eat.
No? Okay, i give up. Find your own tasty Cake Wreck.
By the way, I wont be here next week. Tomorrow I’m off to the Postcard Inn for a night on the beach with my darlin’. (Thanks Mom!) Then next week, Jim and I are going tubing/snorkeling in Rainbow River. We found a lil B&B nearby and are taking off for a couple of days. Hooray for adventure. We had planned this out and then my Mom surprised me with the Postcard Inn so I’m ending up with 2 micro vacations. I’m beyond grateful for the time off and away, but also know it’s unlikely I’ll get time to create a comic next week. Rather than stress, I’m just taking next week off. So there!

Only 10 pounds, huh?
I would’ve thunk it was more…
Did someone say cake?

Happy Birthday Dear
May your cake be sweet and yum
Enjoy vacation

OH my, those are some effed up cakes!
the haiku, however, is awesome!
June 2nd, 2010 at 1:20 pm
i’ve lost my head, yes
ten pounds lost in exchange for
love and silliness
swallowing my heart
to keep it where it belongs
in center chest, wild
it wants to escape,
my heart, through the shoulder hole
where once my head sat
(of course people point
look ma! that girl has no head!)
i hunch my shoulders
and swallow, gulping
for air– this battle is lost:
nine ounces of heart
flops onto the ground
alternating jumps and hops
chasing after you
my head, my heart, you
nothing is mine anymore
rail thin and empty

enough morbidity! happy birthday calan!
may everything you lose come back ten-fold.

beautiful haiku-a-thon Sera!
thanks everyone for the happy bday wishes. if i get a bday wish it will be that my cake doesn’t visually nauseate me. i’ve been saving calories for some serious death by chocolate action.

Be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen when you’re at rainbow river the last time i went i got 2nd and 3rd degree burns and sun poisoning because we left the lotion in the car for our 6 hour trip down river. Happy birthday i hope things go swimmingly yes i punned gah i hope its not contagious.

set feasible goals
do not hurry the fat loss
carve some off daily
June 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 pm
yikes amanda. thanks i planned on taking some, especially for jim but all i have is the light spf15 in a spray. i think i better get something stronger and waterproof. i can’t believe how long this tubing trip down the river takes. i hope it’s fun!
Gabe – carving off slices of myself just makes me hungry and i’m pretty sure even those calories count.

I’ve gone twice its so much fun. If you can avoid the sun burn that follows. Just be sure when you go dont pack anything that can be considered trash there are no trash cans on the side of the river and you can get some seriously heavy fines from the parks department if you are caught with anything that you can throw away. Littering is a big issue for them.

Best Birthday wishes!
With rolling heads and bodies
Covered in some poo???
Verily I could be.
Axe and cake baby in hand,
Carnivorous Me!
Enjoyment is
A brief respite from the day

hooray for all the haiku’n
Amanda – i’m wondering how to bring drinks in that case. i’m thinking a bottle of water or two might be needed to make it for 4 – 6 hours. maybe i can tie a little snorkeling bag with water bottles to my tube. idk. i guess we’ll figure it out once we get there.

We ended up getting a water cooler like one that you fill with ice and bottled water and bringing plastic thermoses *hard to pluralize a word idk how to spell* you can get them in camping supplies at walmart or other stores.

Happy spawning day!!
Sentiment heartfelt though late
Joy and love to you
You found the best images on that site. I love the baby ones. Fairly creepy and yet amusing. Hope your trip went well.
I hunger for you
my love formed in consumption
maybe just a bite?

with cocoa butter
nice cooked healthy salted skin
sprinkled on noodles
i call dibbs on all
the burnt skin that peels off from
calan’s rafting trip.

Sera, you make that sound disturbingly… appetizing.
adorable cakes
shaped like babies encourage
cannibalism
as does a paean
to sun-baked delicacies
epicurious
Vendetta’s new book,
“Decapitation Diet,”
is a best-seller
June 9th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I love your last haiku on Vendetta’s new book justme – nice one, haha
June 15th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
anything with “diet” in it will sell. with decapitation in the title, it’s almost a guaranteed best-seller. great one, justme.
at the book signing
pen mightier than the sword
