Foodiku will shift from daily to weekly posts. You maybe noticed a drop in new posts last week. There are three main reasons for it and for the change in post postiness manyness frequentage frequency:
1) Work: I try to stay anonymous, so I won’t reveal my job. But I do a huge chunk of work from home or Panera, and home is full of distractions (and Panera, the delicious unnecessary calories of chai). Foodiku is one of my many self-constructed distractions from my demanding, high-stress job. Unfortunately, I use my the distractions to procrastinate.* (In fact, I should be working at this moment even though I’m in pajama pants and wrapped in a blanket and pondering a nap.) With my workload stepping up considerably this week, I have to step back from the fun. Damn it.
2) Resources: While the list of places SirFoodiku and I have visited is not exhausted, it is dwindling rapidly. Weekly posts allow us to keep going through that list while adding new places. Frankly, some weeks, we don’t want to try something new. We want our comfortable eateries and our predictable orders. And sometimes, we just want popcorn for dinner.
3) Goals: I started this blog for fun. Above all responsibilities and aspirations, I am a writer who loves reviewing restaurants. But reviewing, in general, does not pay. So, when people actually started reading the blog, I got greedy. Little images of freelance checks and Foodiku t-shirt sales tickled my grey matter. I talked to SirFoodiku about shifting the blog to a new web address, so we could start advertising and selling random stuff. And then I realized . . . that was a lot of work, and that’s not what I came here to do. I decided to stick to my original purpose: silly haiku about restaurants with mix-ins of serious reviews.
Plus, I’m really tired and getting old. I can’t keep up with you damn kids on my lawn with your saggy butt pants and your hipster mustaches.
We want to continue entertaining/annoying/mehing you, but it’ll be with less frequency. Please keep reading and sharing. It means more than we can ever say. Thank you!
