somebody got here by searching for "sedgewick/winstead wedding". i was going to make some joke about how i was marrying kyra sedgewick, but her last name is spelled sedgwick. you should pretend it worked out and was a funny joke, anyway. (kyra is married to kevin bacon, which pretty much secures her top position at the oracle of bacon.)

spurred by a discussion on metatalk, i whipped up the beginnings of a mefi-alike weblog. you can see it over here. it isn't very pretty, but the basics seem to work. (that is, you can create an account, change the settings, post new links, and comment.)

it's been a while since i posted any pictures, so here's a shot of tonight's pièce de résistance, a fresh corn risotto with basil, tomato, and lime. for my first run at this dish, i think it turned out rather well. i can't say i've had a lot of other risottos to compare it to, but i'm not likely to anytime soon since most risottos involve copious amounts of cheese. anyway, coupled with some bread that i baked yesterday, it was an excellent meal. (and i think i've gotten the hang of this bread baking thing -- the batch yesterday was the best yet.)

today i got a "referral e-mail from jennifer" for a pre-paid long distance card (or plan or something like that). although i know a jennifer or two, i can't help but think this must just be clever spam -- how many people know someone named jennifer? it could have said "referral e-mail from bill" and been just as plausible. (the real tip it isn't real? it was sent to an address i haven't used in years.)
