Goal #100 - Bake a Layered Cake

Goal #100 is complete~! :D

Me, John and Laura baked a layered cake on Monday, March 22. We had a lot of fun making the batter and frosting and stuff. We didn't make enough frosting to cover the cake, though, and we didn't make it thick enough, so it looks like this terrifying green liquid oozed over the top layer of the cake.
Also, something is wrong with John's oven, and it doesn't heat up when it says it has. So.. the oven wasn't hot enough when we put the cake in, so when the cake came out, it wasn't done. We caught it on the top layer, but not the bottom. So the top layer was done, but fell apart, and then the bottom layer was whole and nice, but not cooked all the way through. xD

The parts that were baked all the way were delicious. I intend to post pictures once I find my camera cord.

Goal #22 - Read 50 books

I finished The Gunslinger, by Stephen King, about ten minutes ago. It's the first in the Dark Tower series.

I thought it was.. okay. I didn't really like the ending. It went along for most of the time, and I really liked it, but then it got all.. religion-ey at the end. There were a number of allusions, and I don't think I like them.

I'll probably read the next books in the series, but only because I already own them. My dad and stepmom bought them for me when I was.. 14? 13? I'm glad I didn't read them when I got them. I got a good chapter in, but it just isn't meant for someone that age.

Little Shop of Horrors

I finally found the right version of Little Shop of Horrors!

I thought it was funny that the only characters who could actually sing were the three chorus girls. Also Rick Moranis WAT. I love him. :D He's such a dork. I really like Audry and how she spoke, but OH MY GOD, I could not stand her singing voice. Which is sad, because I really liked her songs!

It was very much not what I expected. I didn't know anything about the story before I watched it. I thought it was about like.. early high school kids, first of all. And I thought that the whole shop was full of magic plants.

Overall I liked it, and I'm glad I saw it, but I wouldn't go out and get the soundtrack. Unless they got people who can sing. Then I might. ...Maybe.
