Haiku that Blog! v1.05 Pandapple Edition

It's time for the fifth installment of Haiku that Blog!

This month we will be creating word art celebrating The Sporadic Cook. Nadia was the winner of Haiku that Blog v1.04 way back when but unfortunately she's gone MIA and so I've made the executive decision to pick on Julie 'cause I lurve her and I think you will too and also because it's my blog and I do whatever I want.

Here's what you have to do to have your own blog immortalized in verse -AND- win a cool prize.

1. write a haiku about Julie and/or her blog
2. post it in the comments on this post
3. wait to see if you win

Easy huh?

What do you mean you don't know how to write a haiku? Haven't you people heard of Wikipedia?

The winner will receive their very own Pandapple bento box, drink bottle suitable for sneaking adult beverages into work and a matching lunch bag! Wooohooo! The winner will also have the option of having their very. own. blog. featured in the the next edition of Haiku That Blog! If the winner does not have their very. own. blog. they will be strongly encouraged to start one. Failing that, the winner will be allowed to choose the next blog to be featured.

Entries will be accepted until midnight or so February 14,2010. Winner will be chosen by a panel of people and or animals who live at or are visiting or walking past my house. (Unless I decide to do a voting thing but since I've been meaning to look into the logistics of that for like 2 years and it hasn't happened yet it probably ain't gonna happen this time either.) Prize package worth less than $25. Anonymous entries have the proverbial snowball's chance in hell of winning, so please help me find you. Now get Haikuing!



Pandapple: 50%animal, 50%fruit, 117% awesome! Crappy picture though, sorry about that.

What if you threw a party....

and nobody came?

It saddens me to report that there is no winner for

Haiku that Blog! v1.03.

Because there were no entries.

And that of course means that there will be no Haiku that Blog! v1.04.

And that saddens me.

Because I thought it was kinda fun.

But at least I have a new lunch bag.

In other news:
Julie from Peanut Butter & Julie (and isn't that just about the cutest blog name you ever saw?) passed on the Arte y Pico award to me the other day. I have to believe it's based at least partly on my sparkling wit and perky bosoms. Or desperation. Either way the thought was lovely and I very much do appreciate it but there are a lot of rules that go along with this and well, I'm just a little too lazy to comply. But I really do appreciate it!

Also Katie the CupcakeRN recently asked me to describe myself in 6 words, this seems as good a time as any.

slothful
hungry
stubborn
grudge-holding
frumpy
non-compliant

There! Now who wants to give me another award? Or be my new BFF? Or maybe make a Haiku that Blog! banner? Now -that- would nice...
