Another Patriot Super Sunday...
I've been told that the Super Bowl starts in a few hours.
I'm a football fan. I'm sure you all know that.
And yet I have not picked a team to root for in this game. I don't care too much about either.
Katie's picking the Giants. She doesn't like Tom Brady (Patriots' QB) and she thinks that Eli Manning's nose (see photo at right) will power New York to a win over the Pats. Aside from that, she doesn't much care either.
We'll still watch just to see how it turns out. But with very little enthusiasm.
We may wind up clicking between the game and some Jack Ryan films. Hmm... would Patriot Games be an ironic choice?
Along these same lines of complete indecision, I still have no idea who I want to vote for on Super Tuesday. Is that strange as well?
None of the candidates have really impressed me at all. I'm very underwhelmed, in fact.
I'd like to at least be whelmed.
But, I doubt that will happen anytime in the next 36 hours.
Oh yeah, and while we're watching the Super Bowl, I will be enjoying some of Katie's brownies. The brownies intended for her hairdresser yesterday. If the hairdresser and the salon owner hadn't screwed it all up and mis-scheduled Katie's appointment. They gave her an appointment card that read 12:30 p.m., but the owner marked it in the book as 11 a.m.
They got no brownies.
But I did!
Dave, we may have to take you up on your offer. They're very special brownies! Green M&M Special!
Hi Kappy. I'm in bed ... a little sickypoo. My family left to go watch the Superbowl at a friends house. I don't care at all about the Superbowl. I really don't.
I was just gonna ask if those were special brownies but i guess Dave beat me to it. Have fun tonight.

I don't care about the Superbowl at all but if I did, I'd have to stick with the Pats. You know the love I have for Tom Brady!

Eli Manning. From top to bottom his face starts off well and then... what happens?! Does he always look like that?! I've been staring at the picture for more time than necessary trying to figure out if he is pretty or not... sigh... I need to get out more.

I'm cheering for Eli because he's Peyton's brother, and because TB looks like a condescending arsehole. It's not fair for God to give one man raw talent and heavenly looks.
So yeah, bring on the underdog!

I'm with you - no clear choice for tonight. Pats because it's fun to watch history made; Giants because I like cheering for the underdog. Halftime now and I find myself cheering for the Giants. But, I wouldn't be sad if the Pats win.
As far as your choice goes for Tuesday ... read my Friday blog entry ... there's a website there to help you figure out which candidate most closely mirrors your stance on major issues.

august, ah yes, very special indeed. Hope you're feeling better.
Hilly, I must zone out when you gush over Brady. As Katie likes to say, he's the male equivalent of the "plastics" from Mean Girls. I'd tend to agree. ;-)
Bec, be thankful it wasn't a profile shot. Katie says the picture I used is actually a pretty nice shot of him.
Eileen, "heavenly"? Really? Damn, I stand no chance in this world. *sniffle*
Nilsa, I've taken those quizzes a couple times so far. As it stands, the top two candidates for me are no longer in the race. I wonder if the quiz has been updated for those who have dropped out. I'll have to check yours out.

The only super bowl I get excited for is a super bowl of cereal.

I watched the game with my husband while I knit. My son kept asking him who he wanted to win, and my husband kept saying he just didn't know.
I did make a huge pan of lasagna though. I think the kids were more excited about that than the game. Oh, and that they got to stay up late and watch the whole game.

metalmom, it would depend on the cereal for me.
tori, funny. Katie made a huge pan of mostaccioli. Yum!

I'm with you, dude. This time last week, I was still pretty unsure about who I was going to vote for in the Florida primary. Lots of research online, reading newspapers, etc. helped me to feel a bit better about Tuesday.
I mean, there's no pressure. It's only the next President of the United States.
Maybe more green M&M's will help.

Green M&Ms always help!
