Try getting a nice-looking recipe book from the library or perusing http://sassandveracity.typepad.com/ - virtually all of her recipes turn out lovely. That way, you get a distraction plus some tasty food!

Alternately, http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php or http://xkcd.com/archive/ are both pretty delightful comics. There's an archive of my stuff at http://thegryph.deviantart.com/gallery/ , if you want to see how much I used to suck, or you can troll through my favs at http://thegryph.deviantart.com/favourites/ for a variety of photography and illustration I like.
