Did everybody remember that MonarchMoments.net went live yesterday? If not, that's OK. I've added it to the blogroll over there on the right. Also, as long as I stay ahead of the game (right now I'm working on the entry for the 16th), it's going to update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:00 AM (Central, of course). I'm pretty excited about tomorrow's.
In entirely unrelated news, I love football. I love that the Aggies did well last Saturday, I love that Oklahoma lost, I love that we apparently get an SEC game of the week at 11:30 AM on an over-the-air channel, I love that the Packers did so well in preseason and that Aaron Rodgers is shaving off his pornstache, and I love pick 'em competitions. I'm in three!
I'm in a Yahoo college pick 'em group with people from my dad's work. I didn't do all that well last week because I neglected to notice that we're picking against the spread instead of straight up. (Curses! I never would have picked Oklahoma to beat BYU by 22 points!) Then there's a Facebook college football picks application in which I am part of a group called "Kick Frank's Tail" which I of course intend to do. (Last year I was within spitting distance of coming in first out of all of Facebook. It was awesome.) Finally, as of today, I'm in the B.S. Report Pigskin Pick 'Em group on ESPN.com. (Do any of you guys read Bill Simmons? He makes me laugh.) Now that one is pro football picks, which I haven't done before (last year was the first time I've really followed pro football since the Broncos' Super Bowl seasons when I was in high school, so this year I feel like I might have some knowledge to base picks on). So I don't know how I'll do, but I hope I can at least mildly represent, on behalf of ladies.
So, clearly, I'm a dork. But I'm a happy dork, because it's football season.
ETA: As long as I'm telling you about unrelated things--I just found the least flattering photograph of Teddy Roosevelt ever taken.
WHOA, Foureyes, put those things back on!

You need a fantasy football team.
Maybe next year? I'd need to find a league, though.
I'm perplexed by his right arm position resting on the molding. It doesn't look either natural or comfortable.
Oh, you're right; I hadn't noticed that. It's like they wanted his arm resting on the mantle, but it's too tall. I guess the photographer was like, "Well, next best thing."
