Happy 3.14 Day!

Many people know that today (March 14th) is Pi Day. Pi has an infinite number of decimal places. The most I know is 3.14159265358979323

How many decimal places do you know? Well the band After The Burial knows 100 decimal places of pi and wrote a song for it called Pi (The Mercury God Of Infinity)...which they play live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ZLV-aYvB8

Less known fact about today, it is also Albert Einstein's birthday. 

My friends and I decided to celebrate pie day in the best way we knew how...by eating pie, drinking and playing cards against humanity. 

On Tuesday I baked a strawberry/raspberry/blackberry/blueberry pie:



And had a little dough extra so I made mini apple pies:



Then yesterday after class I helped my friend Mike make his first ever pie (and it's a damn good thing I was there to help because who knows what would have happened otherwise. He wanted to put apple filling in along with apples). 

So go out today and eat some pie!

One of those days

I'm just having one of those days where no matter how careful I am, something is bound to go wrong. For lunch I decided to make carrot fries (chop up carrots in 'fry' shape, drizzle with olive oil and then add some salt, paprika, cayenne, red pepper and garlic and bake for 25min at 350). Well I grabbed the paprika and thought I was going to sprinkle some in. Turns out I opened the wrong end and dumped a LOT in and had to scrap it off with my fingers.
Glad that was only paprika.
Despite all of the paprika, it was still good.

Besides my carrots, my car almost got stuck in layers of ice and dropped my phone (not broken).


Do I dare ask what is next to come in the 11 hours left of the day?
