Look what I found!

I hadn't been back to Paragon City in a loooong time. After the lawsuit over those lollipop-headed Bratz, updating my veterinary credentials, and putting the final touches on my new cooking show, I really needed to bust some heads. Returning to a life of crimefighting seemed the right thing to do.

As I was renewing my superhero license at City Hall I was given a box full of stuff. "Welcome back to Paragon City, Ms. Roberts. The city thanks you for keeping your license up-to-date, and would like to reward your commitment to justice." Inside the box was a coupon for a free pet! That sounds interesting enough. I've had lots of pets: Kittens, puppies, ponies... they were all so much fun! I couldn't wait to see what kind of pet I would get.

The list wasn't inspiring. I could choose from imps, robots, elemental spirits, and a monkey. Not just any monkey, but a domesticated alien monkey. That seemed harmless enough. I submitted my paperwork and coupon and was given instructions to pick up the little guy in front of City Hall.

Imagine my surprise when my "monkey" turned out to be more alien than primate! Oh GOD was he ugly! Sharp, pointy teeth, a funny-shaped head, no eyes... and I can't begin to describe his skin. He was friendly, though, and eager to please. I think he may even understand English. How can I argue with that? You can't judge a book by its cover, I guess. I took a picture to send Midge. She will shit her pants when she sees it.



I heard she named it "Ken."

I Like Cupcakes

I'm not sure I get the buzz about it, though. It's a cake in a cup. We never made cupcakes unless we were having a party -- the rest of the time we always had yellow cake with chocolate frosting in the house. Cupcakes weren't "practical."

I'm thinking I want to learn more about cake baking and maybe make some pin money with cupcakes. I'm just not sure how much I can afford to experiment, you know? The cupcookies I did a while back were GREAT, but they were too gooey in the middle. I need to adjust the baking time or something.

All these cupcakes I see online look like a lot of fun. Anybody having a birthday or other party anytime soon that they'd let me bake cupcakes for? Give me a theme, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
