Squircle Inspiration

This month we are mostly being inspired by:

Dr Seuss

"ME… ME say I’m sorry! Kings never say ‘I’m sorry!’ And I am the mightiest king in all the world!"

Bartholomew looked the King square in the eye.

"You may be a mighty king," he said. "But you’re sitting in oobleck up to your chin. And so is everyone in your land. And if you won't even say you're sorry, you're no sort of king at all!"

From Batholomew and the Oobleck.

Stephen King

"Go then, there are other worlds than these."

Jake, in The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger.

Augustus Strindberg

"I loathe men who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven’t the guts to bite people themselves."

Chuck Palahniuk (books)

Lullaby – Carl Streator, a newspaper reporter, has been assigned to write articles on a series of cases of sudden infant death syndrome, from which his own child had died. Streator discovers that his wife and child had died immediately after he read them a "culling song," or African chant, from a book entitled Poems and Rhymes Around the World. As Streator learns, the culling song has the power to kill anyone it is spoken to.

Sean Penn (DVDs)

Into the Wild - After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

Cake, always cake!

Beyond all else, my inspiration comes from cake. Why? For me it is the most important ingredient in life. The mere mention of cake makes people happy! There is truly not enough cake in the world and nowhere near enough people enjoying it. Cake comes in a multitude of shapes, sizes, colours and flavours. All good cakes are born equal. Cake brings a smile to the saddest eyes, it fills empty bellies and waters dry mouths. Cake is perfect as a shared experience with friends or savoured alone, it’s a caring apology, a celebration of every day. Nobody can be angry when eating cake and no day is complete without a smile, a word from somebody you love and plenty of cake.

As an addendum to that, please note that coffee cake is many kinds of wrong!
