Martha’s Blog

SEE? MARTHA DOES HER OWN BLOGGING
Rodd: yes, of course she does
And Hugh Jackman is by the harbor near the opera center too.
me: if you are suggesting that one of martha’s staffers does her blogging and actually went out of his/her way to call attention to the fact that somebody else was doing the blogging so as to make people like me more certain that martha is doing it…

An eccentric millionaire has built a three-story underground museum carved out of a sandstone cliff and stuffed it full of random art from all over the world. It’s all deliberately jumbled together with no labels. The creator refers to it as an “adult Disneyland.” Hello? This is basically Australia’s House on the Rock. We’re obviously going to have to go.

Hip Pressure Cooking. Neat! In case you missed it, Laura left a comment with a link to her site. I was wary at first that it was just a driveby SEO-riddled linkspam, but the site looks to be a legit source for all sorts of pressure cooking info. I’m especially interested in the series of Beginner Basics that’s about to start…

Twilight Apple Fingerless Gloves. “The lameness keeps you warm.” HA!

You guys should go read “The Goofy Challenge” over at beyond defeat. (ESPECIALLY MY MOM.)
