Last February, Todd from Fafarazzi sent me an email asking if I’d like to be a contributing writer to the Fafa Blog (watch out…Fight Girls video alert!). Of course, I responded with gushing enthusiasm…posted once and then…stopped. I was so embarrassed. Crap was going on with work, it was still winter…I was suffering from personal blahs…eh. You know how it is.

So the other day I emailed Todd again with my tail between my legs, apologizing for being so flaky (those of you who know me know I am anything but flaky) and asking if I could still write. He responded in the affirmative and now I’m sitting here, trying to come up with appropriate column content, based on his suggestions and advice.

The ironic thing was, he mentioned writing about how to successfully win Fafarazzi leagues, which literally made me laugh out loud as I am in sixth and eighth places in my current leagues. Yeah, I can tell you how to win. It was a lot easier for me to win back in the day, under Fafarazzi’s old scoring. Back then I could just wait to see what big news hit the net at 10 PM (Sandra Oh’s getting divorced!), then swoop in and add the celeb to my team before the big scoring hit the next day. Now…well, I’m still figuring out my strategy and results have been mixed, to put it optimistically.

I’m kind of grooving on “Staying Out Of Last Place The Snarkwife Way” as a column title. “Winning Fafa Leagues The Snarkwife Way” seems a bit…presumptuous.
