Well we made the pie for the photo shoot and it turned out great. Unfortunately the client didn't like the use of a store-bought crust, so I had to make the crust from scratch. We're going to finish up tomorrow morning. I haven't made a pie in years. I'm amazed it was edible. The recipe is pretty easy, especially with a store-bought crust.

The pie turned out well so I posted the recipe. It was pretty easy to make. Now I'm in the mood to bake. Maybe Alan will get some cookies this weekend.

Amanda found another website than emode.com that you can take quizzes at. The cool part is this site lets you make up your own quizzes for the site. I took the animal personality quiz and I'm an otter.

I'm going to make a pie for work tomorrow (I'll post the recipe when I find it). I haven't made a pie in ages. I'm a little nervous.

We've been moving along with the Mombo site. I like what Shannon's thinking. I just think we need to refine it a little and go from there.

I just read that there's going to be a Behind the Actor's Studio with the Simpsons on. Woo hoo! It's airing in two Sundays. I'll have to tell Alan.

I have nothing of interest to say today. How's that for a profound post?

With the Super Bowl on last night of course I was up late again. So I'm ready to fall over tired.

The ads were all pretty mediocre. And the spectacle of it all was terrifying. An opening show with Santana and Michelle Branch and that song I hate came first. There were all these dancers on the field and sparks and stuff. And the game wasn't exactly great either. In the middle of the first half, Brian asked who the half-time show was. I said I had no clue, probably Jennifer Lopez or the solo Backstreet Boy. Alan proclaims that if it's Bon Jovi he's going to throw the TV out the window. Game over. "They're in everything. God!" Which is true. Lucky for Alan, it was Sting and No Doubt and some freaky punked-out cheerleaders.

Toward the end of the game, Alan and Brian have segued into a discussion on something I had no intention of getting into, so I just focused on the game. Sure enough, they show a preview of the after-game show and there they are, larger than life and rockin' out: Bon Jovi. Which made me start laughing hysterically. The guys look at me like I'm nuts, then they notice the TV. I thought it was funny. Alan promised not to throw anything out the window, thankfully.

Here's a list of the ads ranked by popularity. It's from USA Today, but what are you going to do? Okay, this is better.

My car's dead. I went to start it this morning and nothing. Par for the course of my week.

I'm going to Camper Van Beethoven tonight but am trying to resist the urge to just stay home. I was up late last night and I'm tired. Not to mention it's like 20 below right now. Blech.

I sent Kerry and Amanda links to emode.com to take random tests.

UPDATE:
I ditched out on Alan and Camper. I've decided it was a good decision. I just couldn't go to a show that started at 11 and ended at 1 am. Wuss.

My html documents are all screwy so I have to fix them before they drive me to distraction.

Okay, much better. I never update this dang thing.

I watched The Surreal Life last night. Weird show. High(low?)lights:

• Corey Feldman explaining to Gabrielle from 90210 that he was a vegetarian because he wouldn't kill innocent animals. While wearing leather shoes.

• Emmanuel Lewis laughing constantly. Like nails on a blackboard.

• Vince Neill not behaving like a rock star. He was pretty reserved.

• Half the housemates eating sushi off of a naked woman, while the rest (all men) refused to on moral principles (Corey, Hammer, and Emmanuel).

I'll watch anything, apparently.

I read this article in the New York Times about PETA's boycott of KFC. Which made me giggle.

So this means that all the PETA members who previously chowed down on greasy chicken wings and biscuits are no longer going to eat there?

Boy, that's going to have an impact. Yes sir.

PETA has some really wacky plans for saving the world's animals. More power to 'em, but they don't seem to be making much headway.

I can't believe it's already January. Nothing all that earth-shattering to report. It's Friday, which is always a good thing. I hope this year will be a good one. My mom has a theory that even years are bad ones for me. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Last night I hooked up Rose and Tom's site with a PayPal way to subscribe. I'd never done that before. Pretty simple. I hadn't done much on their site since I created it, so it took me a minute to get back into the mode.

I'm going to need to get back into the mode in a big way. I have four sites that all want to launch either January or February. Ugh.
