too tired to cook. Not hungry enough to order delivery. I was hoping to watch the game I dvr'ed. But twc didn't zap the box right, so I got 3 hours of "subscription service, call twc to order"

I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I'm making matzo balls. I'm trying the recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. So far, seems to be working pretty well, but there's really no way to tell until they're done. Most times I've made matzo balls, I've ended up with something more like matzo blobby shapes. My mother has tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong, but she had no idea either -- I follow her instructions exactly, and end up with weird blobby shapes instead of spheres.

Ok, seriously, people are using live goldfish as centerpieces at events like weddings? [link] The hell?
Yeah, I went to one about 6 years ago with betas in vases as centerpieces. They were big vases, and there was some sort of greenery in it that provided an adequate oxygenated environment for the betas to continue living in the vases. (Water lilies? doesn't seem right but I can't think what it was. The roots were pretty, as was the green bit above.) They were gorgeous centerpieces, actually. I declined to take one when they were giving them away at the end of the reception. I wonder how long they live and if anyone kept one to the end of its natural life.

Vegan matzo balls, attempt 1, is definitely a success. The texture is slightly off, but I think that's because I didn't cook them for long enough, but the taste is absolutely perfect.

Bettas don't need oxygen supplements for their tanks. The wild variant lives in puddles.
Domestic pet store bettas usually live 1-3 years. I think the longest I had a beta in my years of beta keeping was 3 years? Maybe? I think. I kept some in a proper tank for about six months, but usually, they were in a small bowl. Poor oldest betta. My roommate was feeding him for the weekend and got concerned about the water level and added tap water.
Which, naturally, killed the old man.
Alas.

hurm. I guess my unemployed 22 yr old niece is going to have a baby with her bf who has a part time job as a bouncer in a strip club.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Do you think she might call the baby Reneesme?

I wish she'd call it "oops, it was only indigestion".
Sometimes I look at the caring, intelligent, responsible community leaders that my parents are and wonder how they produced such a clan of fuck-ups.
