Anything You Can Do, Cupcake Can Do Better

Q. Cupcake, why aren't you posting visually stimulating images to compliment your witty posts?

A. Because Hello/Picasa, which hosts my photos, for reasons known only to its spiteful God stopped working for me more than a week ago and I am too damn busy trying to cooordinate a business trip for four people to Germany involving two airlines, four flights, three car services and two hotels to do anything about it.

Q. Cupcake, what's up with the crappy Word of the Day in the Sidebar?

A. For a couple of days I tried out a "Quote of the Day" and a "Word of the Day" module on my blog, but they were lame. I thought, I could do better than this. So I will.

I will periodically post a quote from a work of literature, contemporary, classic, fiction or non-fiction, hell, I'll quote from Aaron McGruder's Boondocks if I want to. The first person who correctly identifies the source of the quote will win a prize. Post your answers as comments, don't be sending me all sorts of crazy emails.

Today's Quote:

" 'Most of the time we're loved for what we can do rather than for who we are. It's not such a bad thing, being loved for what you can do.'

'But the other is better,' Gen said."

Mondo, you done knocked that one out of the park. You will be contacted via telephone to redeem your prize. Here's a hint: she's sweet and lovely, sometimes top heavy, perfectly accessorized and always festive and usually wears a skirt. That's right, you've won a drag queen!
