yrstruly discusses objective baking

i've been cooking vegan/gluten-free food lately and what do you know, it's tasty. and healthy. and challenging. i'm usually not a "baker", per se, simply because it's one of those perfectionist food preparation styles. measure everything out and it's perfect. fuck something up, and you've got some sort of ruined cake that you'll pass off as intentional. cooking is more a "feel it out" subjective kinda thing. now, i really like all of my other activities besides acting to be very objective to balance out the sheer insanity of having a profession based solely on concepts and grey areas of success and failure. sports, building ikea shelves, putting my shoes on those shelves; things that are clearly right and wrong. Baking may become that other thing. though, i hear that you have to alter recipes and tweak things to add your own eponymous 'jeremy's rough-hewn chocolate chip cookies'.
holy shit the new spoon album is incredible. listen to britt daniel on "written in reverse". there's some incredible song-craft on 'transference'.
miss julie is opening... well... now. i got about 30 min until i start dancing like hormone crazed teen and melding to and fro into sexual poses. it's midsummer's eve, what do you expect?

get ur freak on.
