I spent this weekend being 100% unproductive. I did nothing of use to anyone. I downloaded about 3 gigs of manga and read it all. I made soup. I wore my pj’s all day. I lifted some weights. I did my podcasts, both live because I couldn’t get in the pre-recording “zone”. I did some grocery shopping. I drank coffee and ate egg sammiches with my husband.

I did nothing of use and I fucking loved it.

I finished several books I had started and gotten about half way through. One of those books was Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. You know, the guy who wrote Fight Club. Well, I finished that book this weekend. A lot of people think it’s his best, but I am still partial to Diary. To me, Choke seemed almost like he was trying too hard. Maybe I’m wrong and I just missed something among the sex-addicts tale.

So, once again I am out of books. Luckily people recommended several to me. Thank you internet people. I will be looking for these books next. Probably sometime in the middle of the week when I have time to head over to the book store.

Anyway, tonight I am going to make matzo balls to go into the lovely beefy soup I made yesterday. I will take pictures and post directions on making matzo balls that don’t suck later this week. Never follow the recipe on the box … those matzo balls taste like cardboard. Yech. They’re gross and look like softballs. Real matzo balls should have flavor and not taste like glue. I use a whole stick of butter (well… butter with canola oil instead of dairy … it wouldn’t be kosher in beef stew otherwise) in my matzo balls. It makes them awesome. Of course, I don’t care about being kosher, so I could use real butter and I just might do that. While I may not care about being kosher, I love matzo balls. And gefilte fish.

I am working on a template for YummY!’s new blog (who should turn on pings so it updates on my blogroll). I don’t know what theme I’m going to go with yet so I’m just working on a style sheet and learning wordpress code. I may try to do a Georgia type theme. I might drive down the way to Stone Mountain and take some pictures. Maybe I’ll go to the Cyclo-rama and take pictures there too. Or I’ll scrap all that because it seems like a lot of work and just do something with mushrooms and ladybugs. She likes mushrooms and ladybugs.

I’ve also submitted my bribe to the Shitty Blogs Club Survivor contest. I think it’s a good bribe as I included all judges and not just jeckles. Of course, it may suck as a bribe, but I’m sure someone will forget to bribe them and thus I won’t be voted off by default. Now that I have made it past the first round (fuckers… all of you) it is no holds barred. I’m not nice and I have no qualms about turning up the cunt factor a few levels to win. Like jeckles, I have a competitive streak and now that I remain in the contest, I must win. I suspect I will make enemies.

And now! Shitty Blog haiku:
