R2D2 @ GSU

R2D2 is waiting for the GSU bus (in the background) like a good little droid.

Oh, ha ha, US Post Office. You sure fooled...no one.

Misled

Transparent pie, you lying liar, why are you not as gross as you look?

I found a pie shell laying about this morning (don't ask) and made myself fill it with pie. My problem was that I only had eggs, butter and sugar in the kitchen. No problem, that makes pie, my Joy of Cooking book told me.

Great, what kind of pie? Transparent pie, it said. Really, like as in, see-through? Sweet. No, I mean, literally. After mixing all the sugar I could find with some eggs and butter, I waited 40 minutes for it to bake in the oven. When I took it out, things were not promising. It looked burnt, but it didn't smell like it. So I thought maybe its insides would wow me. After letting it cool a bit, I cut it and that picture is what I saw. What a big liar.

But a lying pie is still a pie. And it's not bad. It tastes like one of those egg custard, flan, creme brulee, dan tat things, but the top is chewy because there's 4 pounds of sugar in it. On the con side, I could be developing Type 2 Diabetes as I sit here. But I HAD to fill that pie shell.

We went to Russia!

Just kidding! We went to Disney World.

If I could stop lying long enough (I can't), I would let everyone know that a recounting of the long-anticipated trip to France in the form of a website is ready to be viewed.
