Strangely, if I do this before the second save, it saves:
...
foo.title = 'my_new_title
foo.username = '%s' % ('awesome_user')
foo.save()
But if I don't explicitly copy 'awesome_user' into a string then save,
it saves username as the user id. I should also note that foo.id
from my previous post is a ForeignKey to the users table. I'm
guessing it's getting stepped on b/c of that, but I'm not sure if it's
a bug or just bad practice on my part.
