SHITTY WEEKEND

In going to Gulfport, I picked up some nasty bug that has had me bed ridden all weekend. So, I had to enjoy this weekend through what everybody else did. Todd was in Berlin and Poland, sounds great. A group went out last night to celebrate Michelle's birthday. Sounds like fun. Although, rumors persist that everybody was doing shots to celebrate her birthday except her. Sounds kind of strange to me. Somebody needed to put their foot down in that situation. You can obviously tell I am bitter.

So while all you out there were doing all kinds of fun stuff, the highlights of my weekend included a trip to get some Wonton soup. Which brings me to the tale of two Wonton soups. On Friday, I asked Elliott to pick me up a quart of Wonton Soup on his way home from the gym. Thank you Elliott for doing so. He picked it up from Chin Chin. One quart of Wonton soup from them had 3 fucking wontons. So, the next day, I went to Great Wall chinese restaurant. The quart of soup from them had 10 wontons. Chin Chin = Cheap Cheap. Today, I called my mom for her recipe for homemade chicken soup, aka Jewish penicilin. Mom set me straight and I made the soup. Delicious and magical. That stuff truly makes you feel better. The nice thing is that it was ready at halftime of the OSU- Illinois basketball game. That combined with OSU kicking Illinois' ass and going to 18-3 and first place in the Big Ten is the highlight of my weekend. Exciting, huh?

After being couped up for the last 3 days, I realize that the winter olympics just doesn't cut the mustard. I can only take so much of them. While it is extremely exciting to see The Flying Tomato (Shawn White) win the gold medal in the halfpipe, I can't take any more of Bode Miller. Funny taht as I type this, my friend Matt IM's me to say "If it wasn't for x games sports, we wouldn't win any medals." You want to see some weird stuff, check out the Bode Miller website from Nike. Join Bode. Enough about this guy. He didn't even win a medal tonight. GO AWAY. The man is dumber than the slopes he skis on. To make matters worse, he let a French guy win the gold medal. Come on. The French suck.

Winter olympics, combined with numerous shows on HGTV, travel shows on PBS, a show on LA County Prisons (the Flu isn't so bad) and travel channel have me completely restless. Not to mention some online euchre playing. Anybody interested? Hopefully, I will be over this soon and be back up to par. It is only a matter of time. I really want to get a good night's sleep tonight. In flipping through the TV, I noticed the Atlanta Hawks are on. That may help. There couldn't possibly be any other reason to actually watch them. Well, I have a big work week coming up with a trip to Mobile planned on Tuesday. We will see how everything turns out.

PS-
Poor Mom has had to shovel her driveway and walkway three times from the 20 plus inches of snow New York got pounded with over the weekend. Nobody can deny her toughness. She went out there and did it herself. Mom kicks ass.
