spasm

yesterday i did something i've never done before. i watched the superbowl. it seemed that the off week for living room fell on the same day, which meant i had no prior obligations. BUT i decided to embrace it and take long my new knitting project. brendan and i were joined by jay, tori, and ben at b's parent's house to watch on their big wall projection tv. nancy went all out on food - just as i expected she would, and everything was tasty. the game was interesting, i was mostly fascinated by the number of football players with long hair and found the commericals intriguing too. although, jay and i agreed that we were going to fall prey to the continuous dorito placements. i'm ticked off about the focus on the family advert, but i won't even get into that because it would be an unpleasant rant. as i watched the game, i couldn't help but think of all guys i was friends with in youth group 15 years ago were all gathered around their tvs watching the superbowl too. what an odd thought, that a large number of my acquaintances were doing the exact same thing as me at the exact same time. interesting. i've decided that i'll watch the stanley cup this year too, i might as well do all the big sporting events in 2010. although, i tend to be more intrigued by sport culture than i am in sports.

i had a short night's sleep last night and i've felt exhausted all morning. i look like i've aged several years just from the lines under my eyes. i made the mistake of having a small glass of cola (which made me wired from the caffeine), then a glass of wine (which makes me drowsy). so i was in this bizarre state of sleepy and not sleepy, which resulted in me being extra tired this morning. i've managed ok, but things at work have been full lately. i've been more occupied in the last few work days than i have been in the last few years. i'm not "busy" just occupied. i like what i'm doing which is cool.

so much wasted in the afternoon.

weird. i can't see the yellow now either, but i could before.

it was a great game. i really enjoyed it, and i'm not a crazy football person.
