  I feel like a loser that I wasnt in the short-story contest like everyone else, though I had a nice weekend regardless. It got a little surreal when on Saturday night I found myself at a friends cabin watching the Miss America pageant. Please, will someone put this contest out of its misery? I say this not out of feminist outrage (I personally think there are bigger fish to fry), but because its just sad. Not even so-good-its-bad, or Fastlane-bad. Just sad. Though not quite as sad as waiting for someone you are "fighting" with to surf over to your web log. Panda, I like the cheesecake idea, but lets get to the part of the wedding that everyone REALLY cares about  will it be an open bar? :)
