Looks like 'Cat' got a little out of hand...
I think we all know what really happened with this cake, because we’ve all been there. Been where?
“It’s my best friend’s birthday. What ever shall I get her? Oh I KNOW, baking is quite in right now. I will bake her a cake. I will bake her THE BEST CAKE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN! I AM GOING TO MAKE HER A LIFE-SIZE REPLICA OF HER FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN HER FAVOURITE MOVIE, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S! I AM GOING TO BE THE BEST BEST FRIEND THAT HAS EVER EXISTED EVER!”
Somewhere around 2am the night before the birthday…
“FUCK THIS BAKING SHIZ. I’m going to pretend I made it like this on purpose. She better f-ing appreciate it.”

I ask because between James Cameron and his ex-wife Katherine Bigelow, they pretty much cleaned up at the Oscars this year. Isn’t that a little weird? It can’t be a coincidence. Or can it? Is the lesson simply ‘winners tend to hang out in the same circles, sometimes even marrying each other briefly’? Like, maybe marriage is good for business, but not good for marriage. If that makes any sense.
I can only speak for myself here, but I love the idea of building a career alongside a lifepartner (maybe marriage isn’t the best contract to enter into, considering the statistics), and if you’re lucky enough to find someone who will bring out that extra something in you (possibly via competitiveness, lots of fighting, eventual divorce and then, nearly 20 years later, 2 Oscar-winning movies), then you should count your blessings and roll with it while it’s good. Even if it’s only good for 2 years back in ‘89 (a la Cameron-Bigelow). Which makes me ask the question: can two people be happily married AND both have great careers? Is ‘marrying strategically’ (through knowing you will drive each other crazy and thereby force each other to realise the heights of your respective potentials) a perfectly acceptable way of ‘doing business, via marriage, and vice versa’? Lots to think about.
