Much Ado about Cupcakes

The 5 week long Communications Capstone class rolls forward through week 4, in which myself and my classmates are working on reviewing and critiquing each other's blogs. 


I was a little bit apprehensive about posting reviews of my classmates' blogs as I do not feel I am in the position to be judging someone else's work or design choices being a beginner myself! 


The suggestions made for my blog were: 


1. More personal entries. 
2. More color.
3. Bigger/more readable font.


I can do all these things, with ease! With the personal entries...I hesitate, because my humor is quite off color and I tend to lose all filters when I am interacting online but I can integrate some personal things in with my school posts and I think that will help break up the dryness of the posts. On the color...I get very lost (in a good way) in playing with changing the html code around to something very personalized and I just don't have the time to really deck out the blog in the way I normally would, but I did try out another template for now. It doesn't really address the "more" color aspect, but it is different than just the all brown on brown coloring. My font choices were not well thought out at all! It was not considered and should have been. I have a bigger font in the first postings, but switch to Times New Roman and shrink it down in the last post-consistancy would be far better and more readable. 


As I work on this post I am watching Cupcake Wars on the Food Network, it is very distracting...no matter who wins this show (I've seen a handful of them) I always end up wanting a cupcake at the end. The theme for this show is "I Love Lucy" and the winner gets to provide the treats for a celebration of the "I Love Lucy" show or of Lucille Ball (didn't catch the whole beginning). There is one judge that I simply cannot understand, his accent is so very thick! 


Earlier today I spent some very needed time with my best friend from high school (I swear the thick accent judge said someone's cupcake tasted "retarded"...what?!) at the movies. We chose to see a double feature, which we do often. This time we saw "This Means War" followed with "Safe House". Both movies were very good and enjoyable. They were entertaining, which is what we expected of them, nothing grand or award winning. I must say, Chris Pine in the first movie followed up by Ryan Reynolds in the second movie-yummy double feature right there. ;)


This weekend will end up being a very long weekend. The house efforts still continue. We needed my mother to get a high credit score and she achieved that yesterday so it moves along. Unless something very odd and way out in left field flies out of nowhere then we pretty much have this house. My realtor expects that we are going to be getting the documents ordered within the week and hopefully will be moving during the weekend of 24th. Hopefully!
