Question for the Blog World

Yo!
If you go down to my comments and take a gander, you will find some interesting information. There have been several posts from anonymous authors in Chinese/Japanese, some kind of Asian communication.

Well, I thought it would be interesting to find out what was being commented on my blog. Maybe some nice lady in Korea, reads my blog and wanted to say, "Oh thanks Audra, your blog posts always make my day, and I just enjoy reading about your interesting stories." I couldn't have been more wrong. I copied and pasted the hopeful sweet comments from my unidentified Korean lady, to google translations. Hmmm....what a surprise my sweet little lady turned into a conglomeration of Asian porn discussion.

WTF! I'm really not interested in Asian porn to be honest and I'm really not interested in it being on my comments. So my question to you all in the blog world: How the Hell do you turn the sweet Korean/dominatrix comments off?

Fillet o' Fish

I just attempted the unthinkable..well actually not really, I just didn't think it was something that I would ever do. I filleted a fish.

Seriously...it was kind of hard. This sucka had all of his bones intact. I did the stupid thing by naming him, Jose. Spanish names always come to mind when I am naming things. I guess I just like the way it rolls off the tongue...Jose!

Thank goodness he was organless, that would have been an adventure in itself. As I attempted to cut him in half, I hit bone...back bone to be exact.

As usual...I panic.

The Internet is so fantastic when it comes to crises. I had a little help from Salmon University...."Your complete Saltwater Fishing Resource." It was step by step instructions on how to take Jose Fish to Jose Fillet. Fish are very interesting. The outside layer (scales/skin) is very tough but when you cut inside the meat part is very delicate and can be easily mangled.

So...back to cutting Jose. I proceed to slice him in two. Then I take one side of him, turn him over and cut right along the back bone. It was pretty spectacular. Once I turned him over, I had separated backbone and ribs and had a nice slice of salmon heaven.

Now the other side...got a little carried away. I tried to de-rib him and found myself getting a little "cut happy." I ended up salvaging what I could and ended up with a beautiful fillet and a half.

I'm actually really happy that I attempted that. It gave me new appreciation for the profession of meat cutters. Here's to you, butcher/fish monger: Thank you for taking the bones out of these tasteful creature to make our lives less stressful.

Happy Birthday Grandma Esther. I miss you everyday.

Audra...out!

Blog Lost

I've never been sure how I've wanted this blog to go. At first it was just a great way to tell the cyber world how I was doing. Which hasn't been too exciting. Then it became a place where I let out frustrations and filled the page with messages from the heart. Then I had ideas of attaching a health and fitness blog on top of that. I have failed miserably.

My blog is lame! My summer project will be posting at least three times a week on RANDOMNESS. This gives me lots of range to post whatever. It may be about relationships, work, aging, just randomness. Get the defibrillator and stand back, I'm hoping that this will shock me back into the blog world and get me back to writing, which I do love.

I want to talk about my most recent obsession with Brandi Carlile. A native folk/new age singer from Seattle who stole my heart the moment her video was released on Grey's Anatomy. I fell hard for "The Story" and was immediately a fan, this past Christmas I was gifted with her entire album collection. Every song takes me somewhere different. If you have a chance you tube The Story.
