I Don't Know About You, But This Is The Best Conversation I've Had Today

And now it's time for One-Sided Conversations With Jen. Feel free to talk to me through the screen, though. I'm sure that won't worry your family and friends at all.

Anyone here remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippos?

I only ask because...

...well, no reason.

Hey, you know those days when you feel like a Disney princess, but instead of singing to random woodland creatures, you'd rather shoot them?

Well you're in luck, there's a cake for that:

Two words: Run, Bambi.

You know that feeling where you're out in public and find yourself watching the people around you with a stunned mixture of both horror and fascination?

Same energy.

Right now they're just happy to be on that side of the glass.

And finally, let's throw it back to a simpler - but equally wrecky - time with a peek into a vintage Wilton catalogue from the 1980s:

Nananannanaanananana... CATMAAAN.  Mror. Ffft ffft.

Thanks to Lauren R., Laura W., Kira S., & Emma P., who tells me that Catman is feline fine.

Oooh, hang on, maybe that old catalogue was on to something!

 Superhero Cat Prints, Set of 3 

Yep, I take it back: I am now fully in support of Catman. And Cat Cap. And Cat Thor.

The Cake Wrecks Ink Blot Test

We need modern tools for a modern age, minions. That's why I'm proposing we throw out the passé Rorschach ink blot test for psychological evaluation... and use cakes instead.

"SO... [clicking pen, pushing up glasses, consulting clipboard]...

"Tell me.

"What do you see?"

"I'm sorry, did you just say "a screaming ding dong on a pile of dog crap"?

"You did?

[scribbling on clipboard] "Innnnnteresting."

"Right. How about this one?"

"Huh. Really? Huh.

"No, no, don't worry, LOTS of folks see "a pug who ate Italy."

[turns to camera, eyes wide, mouths NO THEY DON'T.]

"Ok, last one. Ready?

"What do you see?"

"And I'm going to need you to be really specific here, since the boss wants a label on this thing pronto, and I have no friggin' clue.

"Oh, wow, and look at the time! Guess my lunch break's over. So, would you like any more cakes, or should I just ring these three up?"

Thanks to Jessica D., Lindsey I., & Tracy A., who can probably think of worse things than having bakers for psychoanalysts. At least you'd get cake after each session, right?

Or, if you want to stick with the old-fashioned, non-edible method, then this is pretty nifty:

The Redstone Inkblot Test: The Ultimate Game of Personality

This comes with 12 colorful inkblot cards along with write-ups on what your interpretations might mean. It has great reviews from both mental health professionals and folks just looking for a fun party game, which I find kind of fascinating.
