ALL YOUR BEACHES ARE BELONG TO US!

What we have here is a failure to communicate. I realize this is sort of the blog equivalent of slicing off a hostage's toes to get compliance, but so be it.
Broken windows and empty hallways, a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles, the frozen smiles to chase love away. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. Lonely, lonely. Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street. That's the way to treat a friend. Bright have your cake and read more too!

I guess THIS will be enough. It's not Beaches, but even Emperor Palpatine has lines he won't cross. muah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Obviously, Kathy thought I was joking. Never EVER underestimate a pissed off LLama with a twist in his jockey shorts. So here's today's easy-listening installment in the Cake Eater's All-Nu, All-Beaches format----I'll BETTE you'll LUV it!
"This is a song I've been singing for a long time. It's like an old friend. But, you know, I think it, it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about." You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. You've got to laugh a lihave your cake and read more too!

CAKE EATER CHRONICLES: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

In regards to the previous post, I'm making the executive decision to change the format as we call it in the radio business, and turn the Cake Eater Chronicles into the "All Beaches, All The Time" blog. That's right, a blog devoted entirely to the Movie That Shook The World: the 1988 chick flick Beaches featuring Barbara Hershey and the indominatable Bette Midler.have your cake and read more too!

Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done

Well, my devoted Cake Eater readers, I'm going on hiatus. I was actually going to start my hiatus next week, but you'll have noticed the dearth of posting lately, it's probably just as well that I do this now. Now, now, don't be despondent, my devoted Cake Eater readers. Think of all the crap posts I'm sparing you in the meantime. There are two things that have led to this decision. First, I am just not interested in blogging right now. I'm tired of this vain little world the blogosphere has become.have your cake and read more too!

Information is Life

The husband often jokes that he would die without internet access. An independent Cuban journalist, Guillermo Fariñas, apparently agrees. But he's not joking. Far from it. Visit Fausta's Blog for more information on how you can help save Guillermo's life. (technorati tags: Guillermo Fariñas, internet)

Don't Mess With Texas!

Or, more accurately, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday. The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.

All The Things I'm Tired Of

In no particular order:
  • If Washington D.C. is such a cesspool of graft and sleaze, well, isn't it about time the American people fessed up to their part in creating said cesspool? We want to be lied to. We like it. We're codependent as an electorate.have your cake and read more too!

Double Standards

So, in the wake of the Debra LeFave case, in teacher molestation cases how much does the gender of a victim have to do with the punishment of the perpetrator? While I fully realize that LeFave would have most likely received prison time had the teenage boy been willing to testify against her, I find it curious that she got off with house arrest, while as the linked article points out, a male teacher who molested a young girl got five years in prison.have your cake and read more too!
