A good day for baking: a full report

Eh. Cute, but just white bread.

The woman at the bakery clearly understood my proficient, charmingly-accented Mandarin, but she refused to look anywhere near my face, and she communicated only with hand signs: two fingers for NT$20, cupped hands for "Do you want a bag?" I wanted to cut her down with a sarcastic comment, but refrained. The last time I snapped at someone for this reason, he turned out to be a genuine mute.

Perhaps I’ll visit Billiechick later. On regular days, their cock-and-balls cakes are glorious to behold, and their overstuffed-bikini cakes are ravishing. How could they possibly improve on them?

"It's a bad day for breaking ground for graves." Hopefully, that includes one's own. President Chen takes to the airwaves this evening to address the opposition's bullshit recall campaign. This is an opportunity to silence them with words of logic and moderation--the odds of that happening, however, are slim.
