l Pulpo!” When Ray Wise says it, it sounds so dastardly. I love it. (What can I say, I really like the show Castle. Also, I just, well, whenever I notice him in something, he ends up being the bad guy. Leland, of course; the manager in this episode; the Rossum executive in Dollhouse — apparently I missed him on Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! so I’ll have to get on that asap.)

Today was frosting-little-cupcakes and (bread and honey) making-pizza-dough day. Sigh, I’ve got to get over how much sugar goes into frosting, and bake not-mini cupcakes to have bigger things with which to practice (as fun as having a ton of little baked things is).

I’ve always been terrible about writing letters, but last year I found in Anthropologie last year a lovely little bundle of relief-printed notes by Gwen Frostic, and I have been slowly but surely using them. Though she died in 2001, her shop and presses continued, and apparently they were closed in 2009 due to a foreclosure after which Anthropologie made what purchases were necessary to get the shop printing again (via a joyful day). Isn’t that neat?
