I am truly, madly, deeply in love with Jamie Cullum. Make that luuuuurv. I am powerless to take his album out of my CD player and have already proseletized three other people. Who knew someone could sing so casually but so richly? Who knew "Singin' in the Rain" was so complex and smokey? Who knew there was a truthful, appropriately ashamed, and totally funny way to write about not knowing what in the world is going on with your life when you're in your 20s?

It makes you want to be in love, in a good way, in a affection-is-wonderful way, not in a my-life-is-so-empty-and-everyone-has-someone-except-me way.

A few years ago I saw this little cookbook from some other dimension named Pies Men Like. Except it wasn’t from another dimension. It was written by the folks at GM in the 1950s for the GM wives so they could make, well, pies their men liked. Delightfully retro in that gee-I'm-glad-the-50s -are-over sort of way. But also scary.

Be happy this is not our reality (at least, mostly it isn't, overtly it isn't). Rejoice in the people and experiences and things that make your pie yours. Pies I like! But I prefer cake.

Who am I?
