Have Fun, Go Mad - The Champion

Called that one.  Sorry Cake, but people love them some cheesecake Wait - hold on... Cake is IN THE NAME.  Why is this a pie???

Hmm...

Have Fun, Go Mad - Finals Edition

Bracket...BUSTED.

First off - no, I didn't die of starvation.  (I survived my fast and indulged myself with a Chick-Fil-A milkshake, and a plethora of other junk afterwards.  Yum!)  I just decided to take the weekend off from all things computer in order to sleep - a lot - and celebrate Easter with the fam.  And today, I had to make up for days of not working.  (I'm actually quite proud - a good 12 hours of focused work.  Go me!)


Next - Some words on the real March Madness:


Booo!!!!!!  I so wanted Butler to win.  I love a good underdog story! (And I hate Duke)  But, alas, the Devils pulled it out.  Apparently in a nail-biter.  I was working and missed the game, myself.  Eh, no big loss (except for Butler, that is...)


Now, for the BEST March Madness - CAKE v. PIE!!


Remember that I'm stalking this fierce competition diligently.  You may also remember that my picks for the Elite Eight included the following:

1. Birthday (already chosen)
2. Apple (already chosen)
3. German Chocolate
4. Red Velvet
5. Carrot
6. Boston Creme
7. Blueberry
8. French Silk  

Well folks, THIS is why I don't gamble: 

Only 2 out of my 6 original Elite Eight picks.  Sorry stuff.  I'm shocked to see both of these contenders in the finals, too.  I would think Apple Pie would've made it - if for no other reason than most people are horribly predictable.  But, it looks like Cheesecake v. Red Velvet.  My money's on Cheesecake - even if my fork would be in the Red Velvet...

Jezebel closes voting for the finals at 2:00 pm EST tomorrow (Tuesday).  Be sure to jet on over there and cast your votes.

Alright, I'm tired (and lame, I know).  Off to bed for me.  I'm SO behind on all of your blogs.  I promise to catch up ASAP.  I've missed you all!  

Sweet dreams of Pie and Cake.

Oh yeah - for the Blue Devils: 

  

Have Fun, Go Mad

Had a great time at the beach this weekend with Deac.  Relaxing trip - but far too short.  Deac is a HUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEE sports fan, though, so there was some college basketball involved in our excursion.  I admittedly don't care all that much.  I can respect the freakish nature of this year's Final Four (with the exception of Duke.  Will they take it all?  Or will an underdog prevail?  As a graduate of Wake Forest Law and the daughter of a Tarheel, I am required by law to hope the Blue Devils fall flat on their faces.),  but that doesn't mean I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation.  I'm far more interested in Jezebel's March Madness competition: Cake v. Pie.

I mean, how awesome is this?  Seriously?  The above results are as of Friday.  They haven't entered into the Final Four on their end yet, but this is a true nail-biter.  Cake.  Pie.  Both delicious, both satisfying, both wonderful in every way.  How do you choose??  

Check out today's analysis (by Hyperbole and a Half) to learn why Pie is apparently superior to the frosty deliciousness of Cake.  I do love me some blueberry pie, I admit.  And my late Granny's chocolate meringue.  Good stuff.  But, then there's chocolate mousse cake, or black forest, or carrot.  So much sweetness, so little time/waistline.  Sigh... 

I'll keep you guys posted on the results of this epic battle, or you can follow it yourself at Jezebel.  Either way - nobody's a loser in this March Madness!  

Have a cake and pie filled day.  

Love, 

K
