Yes, it’s the day we’ve all been waiting for – Superbowl Sunday. OK, so, maybe not all of us have been waiting for it. I have to admit, I’m barely aware of the game being on. It mostly reminds me that we lost Siggy on Superbowl Sunday last year, and without having a team to root for (or against), it’s not all that big a deal to me. It didn’t used to be that way, of course. It used to be a highly anticipated event that was a lot of fun. A bunch of us would get together, drink beer, eat pizza and wings, and have a good time (often despite the fact that the game wasn’t all that interesting). Now, of course, I’m married to somebody who would get up and leave the room if I turned the game on, and I don’t really have any friends that would come over to watch (and god knows I’m not leaving the house that late on a Sunday night – why they can’t have the game on at 4:00, I don’t know. Well, I do know, actually – it’s so they can squeeze in as much pregame advertising slots as possible). That whole DWI thing really puts a crimp in the whole Superbowl party idea. Plus there’s work tomorrow. It really ought to be a holiday. I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot of productivity going on the day after the Superbowl. Between being hungover and talking about the game and/or the commercials (or the halftime show; is it another geezer fest this year? I don’t even know). Oh, it’s Beyonce. I of course have heard the name, but am not actually familiar with her. I’m not really all that interested in “singers.” I’m kinda into people playing instruments. But, whatever. Oh well, enjoy the game if you watch it, and enjoy not watching it if you don’t.
If you don’t care, it’s a good day to get out and do things with a lot of the riff-raff otherwise occupied.
Eh, it doesn’t start until 6:30 here anyway. That’s damn near bedtime.
Yeah, I guess you are right. I think the hardcore will set in for the preeee-game soon and the rest will drift in gradually up to game time. Still a good time for shopping, dining, and movies at usually more crowded places. I guess it is more relevant for museums and parks out here. I’m not sure how that Netflix thing works but “House of Cards” sounds promising and you can watch the series premiere for free.
I think I’ll be watching the game out here. I already got my shopping done and more than enough food and drink.
Uh-oh. I just watched the 1st episode. I may miss SB XLVII.
Shopping? Dining? Movies? None of that for me. Plowing the driveway, maybe.
Yeah, I have Netflix and am looking forward to binge watching House of Cards. Just have to get some time when the wife and I are in the house at the same time.
