i made cupcakes in the weekend and was chuffed with myself. then i ate one for breakfast this morning and i was all regrets. cupcakes are a great afternoon tea. and yet at eight am, not so much the right food choice.

i have been listening to the radio news too much. now i'm worried i'm single handedly causing the power crisis. with my baking and my electric blanket and tupac - my laptop. not to mention the amount of charging chelsea clinton, my new york ipod, requires. i decided to switch from nat rad to marcus lush this morning, in the hopes of a more light hearted but still informed start to my day. i'm not convinced marcus was on this morning. because it wasn't even hilarious for one moment. i listened to owner of a lonely heart on chelsea clinton instead.

anyway, as a result i forgot the power crisis stuff until this evening. when i started turning off my house lights furiously. we'll have to see how long this behaviour lasts.

one thing is for sure, i will be laying off the baking for a few weeks. both in the interests of the environment and of my early morning blood sugar levels. of course that starts tomorrow, because now i'm addicted to baking and so i made biscuits tonight. but i made them out of rolled oats so maybe they'll make a better breakfast? plus i undercooked them - which of course means less electicity used for cooking. i'm so environmentally conscious.

ps: you should totally watch the yes video clip linked above. it is like a short film with people "morphing" into animals. brilliant. watch it with the lights out though. i don't want you using needless electricity.
