the final frontier, & also easter

The yachtsman just had this conversation with himself while I stared at a blank bl*g post: "What are you doing? Writing a bl*g? About the space shuttle liftoff? There're more women in space than ever. More Japanese in space than ever. You know what that means: It means hamachi in space."

Yesterday was Easter. Jesus rose from the dead, and I rose from the couch and went to my Greek stepmom's. This year the cupcakes (aka the sin that Jesus died for) were made by Mojie.

You can read about last Easter and find the world's best spanakopita recipe here.

After a long diatribe about hitching a ride with the Russkies after the space shuttle program ends ("It's like taking the bus"; "That's not how we roll"; "I don't even think they have bathrooms"; "Do you know what the Russkies eat in space?"), the yachtsman emailed me this photo. "For your bl*g," he said.

  2. Stole an extra one of those cupcakes and put it in storage (they were that good) in hopes I can bring it with me as a snack when I buy my Russian bus ticket to the moon.

  4. They were pretty good cupcakes if I do say so myself. However, they didn't even come remotely close to my little cupcake cupcakes. How could they be?

  5. Is that launching space shuttle supposed to be a symbol for Christ's ascension? From what I understand, he did travel to heaven via jetpack.

  6. Anonymous, he is a sweet and smart boy, a definite keeper. Are you his mother or my mother?

    William, I'm assuming you freeze-dried your cupcake?

    MLC, the cupcakes were amazing, and I'm going to have to request an MLC version (but first I need to get my hands on one of those salted caramels).

    Er, that's Scientology, Q.

  9. MLC, I've already eaten three of the four salted caramels I bought this afternoon, and it's going to be a miracle if the fourth lasts until tomorrow. So. Frickin'. Good.
