I'm updating the fantasy college football rankings by hand every week. You know what would be awesome, Yahoo? A widget that would do this automatically.

At the gym yesterday, I noticed that the woman on the “imaginary bicycle” — as Poppy calls it — was playing some kind of dragon-slaying game. On the bike’s fancy-pantsy screen.
Now, I am not normally a fan of the imaginary bicycle. It hurts my knees, and also I am lazy. But dragon slaying? At the gym? Please know that I was all over that. At least, I said to myself, “If I come back tomorrow, and if that machine is available, I will definitely think about trying it.”
And I did, and it was. So I tried

Amy and I used the random number generator to pick this week’s Recipe Roulette meal from one of Amy’s Paula Deen cookbooks. Incidentally, I’m pretty sure that I thought it was Dean — not Deen — and I’d be willing to bet there are more than a few Paula Dean references to be found here.
Anyway,

Once again, I broke the blog while trying to upgrade Wordpress. And yes, I cried a little. All seems to be well now, though. So there’s that.
I was tasked with choosing this week’s Recipe Roulette pick, and I think I picked a good one. Amy may disagree, though, because she doesn’t like to handle meat.

Once upon a time, when my computer worked and the world was at my command I only had one little’un, I applied for a writing gig at Photojojo: the world’s A-Number One, Top o’ the Heap source for all fun and funky things photo. (Really. They have all sorts of great tips and ideas.) Subsequently,

Food Network, I’m losing confidence in you. Sure, your food looks delicious. But your track record lately has been less than impressive.
But Amy and I thought we’d give you another chance this week. So when I got my latest copy of Food Network Magazine, I had Poppy choose three random numbers. Then I lined those

I’ve been working on a sewing project, friends, and it is driving me up the wall. Not the project itself, really, but my sewing machine. To be more specific: my lack of skill and knowledge regarding said sewing machine. The thread keeps going “thwang!” and snapping and tangling up and I’m ready to chuck this
