The greatest pie in the world: A tribute

Posted on Oct 3rd, 2007 by Lindsey : momento mori Lindsey

I can't sleep, because I'm at Heather's place, so I guess I'll write a blog about my night…
 

It was a good day because I woke up feeling good for the first time in a while, I had lots of energy, I got some things done, and when I babysat Sky and Shen I had a really fun time because I wasn't exhausted like I often am. Tonight I decided to help pay off my gym membership a little bit and watch Clara while Heather went to see her boy. When I got there, Clara really wanted to make a pie and I did as well. We then went to King Stupid's to buy all the ingredients to make the best pumpkin pie in the entire history of pies, Seriously, best pie ever… and so we did ( while there I ran into Ballard again, as I did yesterday at the gym, and made a fool of myself rambling on about how he stalks me in my dreams (which really is creepy), my face turning red, he says he just wanted to say "hi" in a raspy voice, seeing  as how he lost his voice (usually he is more of the talker) Oi). So then we went back and made this pie, which turned out awesome, Clara did a great job and the pie was beautiful. I go to turn on the oven and it takes me minuet to figure out that the crappy dial turns the wrong way, but I set it to 425, of course only to find out that the stupid thing doesn't even ding when it reaches the correct temperature, but we eventually put the lovely pie in. I wait 15 minuets, at which point the pie looks lovely; the crust just getting a little brown and I decide to turn it to the off position so I don't forget, and leave it in there for just one more minuet until perfection sets in. However, when I go back to take it out instead of perfect pie, I smell burning, and as I open the shitty oven door I remember that the fucking dial turns in the wrong direction, and instead of my beautiful pie I see a blackened boiling pie under a red hot broiler! I take out the mess and tell Clara she needs to wait for it to cool. Then the only way I can get this nine year old to go to sleep in her own bed is to give her a piece of the ruined pie… and so she sits there, eating her blackened soupy pie watching the end of The Biggest Loser… 
Yeah, I wonder who that is? 

Haha, Tomorrow will be a good day though, my family got tickets to see Spam-a-lot, Yay!

So first cool day of the year and my green tea obsession has returned… it randomly ended last April but apparently it is a seasonal obsession.  Mmm… I'm going to try and limit myself to 5 cups a day 

So my friend told me the best story ever… On Tuesday when I was babysitting her daughter  she was late for seeing her new bf and while racing down to Denver got pulled over. She told him she was just not paying attention and anxious to get to Denver to see her new boy friend. The cop seemed understanding and said "I'll tell you what, I'm going to go check your license and plates and if you can think of a reason that I shouldn't give you a ticket that I've never heard before I might just give you warning…"

So when he comes back she says "well, as I said I m going to see my new boy friend and see he is waiting for me and I got all these new toys you see" as she pulls out rope, whips, handcuffs, sex toys etc. out of her bag "I just have to get there and tie him up and I can't keep him waiting…" Apparently the cop turns bright red and agrees that he has never heard that excuse before, and mentions wanting to go home to his wife…

So she gets out of the ticket... hahaha, I wish that had happened to me.

Last night was super fun, Heather and I went to the Live concert, which was fantastic, I think their name is Live because they are just so amazing live.

Before Live came on me and Heather ran into Huy (who put me on the guest list because he knew me so well ( : and who Heather has known through kungfu for 5 years) and Stuart Davis, who I haven't seen in three months because he has been doing the whole label record thing; (: got the best Stu hug ever. Heather who likes Stuart due to my obsession had no idea it was Stuart Davis so afterwards she asked me who the other guy was and she said, "OMG that was Stuart Davis? I had no idea" Oh well, we would see them backstage with Eddie K ( :… That didn't work out though since Huy got really drunk and got himself kicked out for angrily spraying his drink in a perfect arch on the wall full of pictures while waiting for Eddie to come out. Heather thought Huy was the perfect little straight edge prince with a wife and kids, but I worked with him and obviously know better… he is a jager drinking flirtatious crazy asian drunk. Anyway, Huy called Eddie and got into the back room where we met him once Eddie came out and did his thing. Stuart however went home. Mew, but Stu just moved into his place in prospect, so maybe we can go to his house warming party together… as long as it isn't the weekend of the 20th I would be very pissed if it was..   

Live is awesome, their concert was the best I have ever seen save Imogene Heap and Stu shows (Live's show was better than Stu's but enjoyment wise Stu shows are the shit).

Other music update: Still listening to Conjure One over and over again 

I am getting my tattoo on Friday (: I feel really good about it.

I got a Halloween costume too, it is so incredibly adorable, however not on me because it is really slutty. I can think of maybe 6 people in Boulder that I would be happy to wear it around and I don't know that we are going to be doing anything for Halloween so I probably won't wear it anywhere…  but I'll wear it at burning man for sure. 

I think for Halloween I will wear something dorky, like my Thai boxing shorts that I love and something with a tie because I don't think I've ever worn a tie. I am really shitty at costumes, my entire childhood I was always a devil or a witch, nothing else, never a princess or anything nice.
 

I really just want to watch all of Battlestar Galactica right now.

I'm sorry for writing so poorly, my brain is like mush today.
