Three sentence movie reviews: The Place Beyond the Pines

In celebration of having my real life back,* I took myself out to this movie. It was a very good choice as I loved the story itself, the acting was phenomenal,** I was entranced the entire time and kept thinking about the movie in the days that followed. This was an excellent flick and not just because a certain someone was all tarted up with incredibly white trash tattoos.***

Cost: A premium $8.50
Where watched: Regal Fox Tower

*Class is over, dress is mostly done, I can reclaim my time!
**Hamster Ryan Gosling is growing on me and Bradley Cooper keeps being marvelous.
***It took about a week before I realized that the Ryan Gosling character was cleverly designed to appeal to every single bad-boy trigger point: trashy motorcycle racer who changes his ways for not just a woman but, (wait for it) a baby! I totally fell for it.

"Finished"

There's no lining, but at least I got the collar done. I'm off to the auction.

Cupcakes part deux.

I once again made Mississippi Mud Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting. One dozen of them are for the school auction. The other dozen are for the Kenton Library Staff.

And here's what happens after you try to put the auction cupcakes back in the refrigerator after their picture. A shelf collapses, sending the box careening toward the floor. This happened after I had flooded the remaining frosting because I was done frosting the cupcakes and there's only so much marshmallow frosting one person can eat. I cleaned everything up and made it all pretty again, though. And someone paid $20.00 for my cupcakes.
