I'm sure you've heard it all before...

I can be a bit slow sometimes.

I was doing some research on Jane Birkin. And I finally found out what Oasis's song 'Wonderwall' was referring to:

Wonderwall , a 1967 psychedelic movie starring Jane Birkin. Soundtrack by George Harrison, which is where the Oasis total-Beatles-fanboys connection kick in. Apparently, the soundtrack was the first solo album by a Beatles member.

Ah, the Sixties. When a film about an old man spying on the beautiful young girl next door was seen as romantic and playful and fun, rather creepy as all fuck.

THE SAD TALE OF EMO CAKE

I don't have a Twitter account. But if I did, my Saturday would have looked like this:

hey! @josielong has a bake-off show. i can totally bake a #cakeforjosie

except no one likes gluten free cakes. gf cakes are the sad, lonely emos of cakedom.

wait! CONCEPT #CAKEFORJOSIE!

package mix is ok for #cakeforjosie, isn't it? isn't it?

in kitchen. [sings] baking a cake for @joiselong, baking a #cakeforjosie

#cakeforjosie in oven. smells good so far.

oh! her blog says @josielong can't eat gluten. my cake is gluten-free. #cakeforjosie wins!

@josielong can't have sugar, either. #cakeforjosie is made from pure sugar. :(

#cakeforjosie is cooked! hm. bit lumpy.

#cakeforjoise needs ganache to hide lumps. to the shops!

ganache = Green&Blacks dark choc, vanilla soy yoghurt, chopped mandarin peel. #cakeforjoise = win again.

running out of time. ganache sets in the freezer, right?

where's the icing sugar? i thought we had icing sugar. back to shops.

no icing sugar in shop. WHAT?! EMERGENCY! #CAKEFORJOSIE MUST BE DECORATED!

sod it. using desiccated coconut instead.

oh. so THAT'S why da vinci never used desiccated coconut. bugger.

arh! even my pens don't work! the universe hates #cakeforjosie

#cakeforjosie done. if this was sparta, we'd leave it out on the hillside overnight to die.

#cakeforjosie is now #EMOCAKE - the cake that cuts itself.

off to see @josielong!

standing in queue. do-i-feel-like-a-creepy-fanboy-stalker meter: 6/10.

so many cakes! all so pretty! #emocake feels ugly and unloved.

claudia o'doherty thought #emocake's haircut was a lightning bolt. does not bode well.

@josielong just gave out cake prizes. #emocake did not win any.

first taste of #emocake. um. should have put mandarin peel in cake mix, not ganache.

people are eating cake. lots of cakes. just not #emocake.

#emocake is trying not to cry.

wait! @josielong just saved tiny slice of #emocake... FOR HER BIRTHDAY!

held actual conversation with @josielong. very proud. did not squeal like a schoolgirl once.

that'll do, #emocake, that'll do.
