Pop-Tarts are heavenly. This is a fact. Kellogg's greatest creation, toaster-ready pastries with various fillings like my favourite, cinnamon (not apple cinnamon, just cinnamon) are the perfect breakfast treats. And they're easy to make, too: Dump them in the toaster oven for 2-3 minutes, remove, eat. Still, I can mess that up. To prove how god-awful my kitchen skills are, I managed to set one on fire (told you I can't cook). It wasn't a house-threatening fire, thankfully, just a "oh-no-I-only-have-seven-pop-tarts-left" fire. This is a problem because they don't sell the incredible cinnamon Pop-Tarts here in the UK, just chocolate (ugh) and strawberry (ugh-er), and so these had to come in from America. Damnit, I only have seven Pop-Tarts left.
It looks like I'll get a reprieve and an extension on that work. I say "looks like" because they said they'd go tell the editor about the problem, and that it should be left for the next issue... but I haven't heard anything back yet. Why am I expecting a "Where's the piece?" email on Friday morning?
Everything else is dominated by video game news from E3; since nobody cares, I'll sum it up as such: Microsoft looks solid, Sony looks dominant, and Nintendo is doomed. In other news nobody cares about, AC Milan won despite a nervy last few minutes, and the Lakers lost despite a nervy last few minutes. LA had a chance at the buzzer to drain the game-winning shot. Last year in a Game 5, Robert Horry hit the shot to win the game. This year in a Game 5, it bounces in and out of the rim for the loss. A sign?
Lastly... looks like I have two exciting upcoming projects. I don't want to say too much yet, lest I jinx both, but... I'm pretty pumped for both, and I think they'll be really cool. Hopefully I can mention more about one soon, though the other isn't until mid-to-late-summer. Wish me luck.
