Happy Pi Day, my friends!
I hope all of you mathematically inclined folks are doing
something suitably math-tastic today. Seeing as that area of study has never
been my strong point, I’ll be celebrating with the other kind of pie. You know,
the kind that’s delicious.
And because it’s what we do here, I’d like to present you
with my favorite pie related works in a variety of mediums.
Book: The Sweetest Thing. Pie is not the only thing
baking in this Jill Shalvis work, but with names like Kick-Ass Strawberry Pie
and Not Your Momma’s Apple Pie, they are hard to forget.
Movie: Waitress. I honestly can’t think of a
another movie that leaves me wanting pie more than this one. My reaction is Pavlovian
at this point. Someone mentions this movie, I start thinking about where the
nearest place is to buy pie.
Television show: Pushing Daisies time a billion. I mean,
there’s not even a close runner up when it comes to TV shows featuring pie. Ned
was a pie-maker who owned a pie shop shaped like a giant pie.
Play: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street. If Pi Day has you overindulging, this might be what you need to rob
you of your appetite. This is one pie shop that I would certainly not want to
visit and probably the reason that I stay away from meat pies in general. Of
course, it is quite a bit of fun seeing how long you can wait between “Fleet”
and “Street” when singing along with “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.”
Song: “American
Pie.” I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just need to take an eight and a
half minute dance break. Just long enough to burn off some of the calories of pie number one before I start eating pie number two.
So, how are you going to be celebrating this auspicious day?
