I woke up at seven this morning to go into work to finish a cake gone wrong. I have to make a coated caked for my final (you pour chocolate/butter cream/coating over the cake to coat it), I stupidly chose butter cream because it's got a bit of 1950's feel to it and there is nothing more kitsch the the 50's. The thing is, we use butter cream out of a box, which is nothing short of disgusting. The cake is a pineapple and rum flavored and to be honest, it's disgusting. I wouldn't even make this cake for someone I didn't like, it's like eating a cheap pineapple candle from T.J.Maxx. Either way, I just got home from finishing it and find myself writing a blog to prolong having to study. After I am done studying I am going back into work to make more marzipan skulls, and then need to finish the cover pages for my 170 page recipe book. I don't think my weekend could get any more enjoyable (please not the sarcasm).
Morning is my favorite time of day, especially early, before the sun is up. Luzern is one of those few cities that you can be almost entirely alone in at six in the morning on a Saturday. It's one of my favorite things about the city, that you can roam the streets and even go into the central part of the city and feel like you are the only person there. As if everyone left in the middle of the night, and the city is mine to have. I feel so close to this city, and now when I go on my daily struts my heart begins to clench with the thought that I am giving it up. It's still time for me to go, but it is going to feel like leaving a close friend. From the first time I came to Luzern five years ago, I knew that this was where I wanted to live and after three years of having it love me and suffocate me at the same time, I can safely say that Luzern has carved a notch in my heart.
Ok, enough procrastinating, I have to study.
Not a highlight, but if it was in a book it would be:
"I don't do anything I don't love anymore… I loved the flashing lights vid so it didn't matter 2 me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness. So many people talk about there investments or how much money they have but there's so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying 2 buy a piece of happiness. If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life. I just recorded my first verse in the last 6 months 2 days ago at Bape's Studio in Japan. It felt good and I was inspired. I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow in the Dark tour. The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity. All that said, life is good….. good as finding the perfect fabric for a simple one button casual blazer with matching pants."

This time I have a highlight for you:
The end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
- "Four Quartets," T.S. Eliot
Thick yellow highlighter
Actually Olivia, I prefer the quote in full, and actually used it once last year on my MySpace blog,
"We shall not cease exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
It feels naked without that first line. Thanks for the suggestion though.
i can't wait to strut the streets with you. arm in arm. we'll get you through these next 6 months. there's no way around the fact they're gonna be hard, but the most difficult is the most beautiful. the sunrises will be worth it.
