• last week i provided a post and some pics of the cupcake art at the smithsonian american art museum -- the smithsonian's own website (which is a very good one, by the way) has an interview with pastry artist zilly rosen, who did the exhibit -- it's a great look behind the scenes of this project...her team spent more than 200 hours on everything -- the video can be found here

• i had a great sunday -- went to the apple store in shadyside, rei at southside works (i could spend hours in there -- and i've yet to meet somebody who works there who isn't totally into "it," and then pf changs at the waterfront (mmmm... mongolian beef) -- part of what made it great was the music they were playing on 80s on 8 (sirius) -- some lesser known eurythmics (love is a stranger), the pretenders (brass in pocket), boys don't cry's i wanna be a cowboy and then asia's heat of the moment, which reminded me of a great acoustic version that i found on youtube -- great version -- great voice -- definitely gets you to listen to a song in a different way...
