Why is ther a slice of cake in front of the Blogger logo on the homepage?

Yesterday was my first day working as a volunteer for the Salvation Army. While sifting through the mounds of musty clothing and being chastised by an old lady named Susan for being colorblind, I realized something.

You know when trendy girls brag about shopping at thrift stores? You know when they come into school looking like a hobo, but as soon as they mention that they bought this outfit at a thrift store, all of a sudden they're rocketed into the high-fashion limelight? Well, I don't know who "Ralph Lauren Blazer" is, but for Pete's sake, thrift stores are for poor income families that can hardly feed themselves, not for trendy teens whose parents are paying for their college! I mean, sure, I've bought a couple shirts from Family Thrift, and yes, I agree that there's no harm in being thrifty, but goodness, look at "Byrna Nicole Bag"! That tie was meant for a homeless guy so he could look nice while he was trying to get a job.

There's a really cool (and admittedly cute) American Express commercial featuring a bunch of ordinary objects,but they're manipulated to look like faces. Kaita would like it. Also, the background music is Bach's Cello Suite Prelude. Dan likes Bach. A little something for everybody.

Andy came over yesterday and rolled around on my bed and now it smells like baseball and narcisissm.
