A very long post indeed

I developed a new roll of film today and decided to post up another macro shot I have taken. This one was of chucky. It came out surprisingly better then my previous attempts. I will most likely post a few more of the next couple of days.

Yesterday was quite an adventure. Joanna and I finally got around to making a checkerboard cake. It was a long and strenuous ordeal. We ran into so many problems. At first we didn't have a pan to bake it in. Kingsley luckily came to the rescue. Afterwards we realized we got the wrong butter. Ryan came to the rescue and drove joanna all the way to food basics to get the right butter. Now that we had everything the cooking started. It turns out I don't have many cooking utensils. We only had 1 measuring cup, which we needed to use around 10 times and we only had one cake pan, we needed three to make it quickly.So the first little bit wasn't too bad. We slowly made the cake. I found it fun making the cake. However Joanna seemed to have lost interest near the end. When we had to put the batter in the piping bags (which we substituted for zip lock bags), it was getting quite tiring. When we had put the first layer of the cake in the oven we were done. After the three layers were complete we had to put the icing on. Joanna struggles at putting icing on. There is a good chunk of our cake that doesn't have icing. However when we cut it and took out the first slice I saw it. I saw the checkerboard. It was a grand sight. Sadly the photos I had taken of it didn't develop because for some reason someone had rewinded my film a little. The punk wasted like 4 or 5 of my shots. When I was looking at my negatives I saw an overlap on some photos. Biggest waste of money! Anyways the cake turned out tasting quite nice. Joanna and I have vowed never to make a cake again. Hopefully next time we will make some cookies.

Today was also quite fun. At lunch we went to the pizza hut buffet. This buffet sucked! They had like no good pizzas out, no chicken wings, no garlic bread! I was very very disappointed. Waste of $10. After the lunch I picked up my film which was also a disappointment because so many exposures were ruined. However when we got back to my house it was pretty fun. We played gamecube for a while. Then ryan came over and brought some weird game. It was this crazy game where 4 people have to push a button when they see this light turn green. The last one to push the button gets shocked. I was winning for a good majority of the time. Nelson did very well though. We eventually started playing chicken with it, to see who could hold it without dropping it. Everyone did it quite easily except pussy jimmy. Jimmy dropped it before the thing even shocked him. After that we picked up cheryl and then a few of the others went out for dinner. When they got back we watched Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. This movie was very good. It was very interesting. I recommend it to anyone.
