> [@oscarhopper](#): > > It’s being held in my city so I guess I’ll stay indoors all day to avoid the traffic and just people in general. I might do some housework, order a pizza, and watch a movie. A co-worker invited me to a watch party, but I might just have to be sick tomorrow. My city is home to one of the teams. I’m ready for all the red to be gone. Meanwhile, tomorrow, I expect I’ll watch something on netflix or amazon, do my ironing and some cleaning. Maybe hit up the grocery, since it should be quiet then. ---

I’m either going to reinstall Windows on my PC or finish setting it up. And watch a portion of my stash of porn I’ve got on my PC. Oops, I meant watch something on my DVR or play a game or something. ---

Sadly my Steelers didn’t make it, but Freeform is doing a Harry Potter weekend. I never get tired of that. (I just wish they didn’t skip movies!) ---

Work. Writhe in pain since I cannot work and take my pain meds. And since kickoff is just before work is over I might be able to drive home without too much traffic. ---

…I used to go surfing on Superbowl Day…it would be empty:cool: Not anymore…now its crowded! Sometimes I try to watch the last 5 minutes, (if I can remember)…see if I can influence the game by thinking hard thoughts…haha… So, I dunno, chores chores, clean all the parrot cages, walk the doggies. ---

I honestly didn’t know either, but I did notice Aldi’s weekly ad featured a lot of SB type snacks so I knew it was coming. I’m going to the gym. Maybe it’ll be less crowded. ---

Working. I was scheduled because I’m one of two in my department who couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl, despite the Pats playing. ---

I think I might watch my boyfriend watch the Super Bowl. He is the animated, excitable sort of football fan who hollers “AWRIIIIGHT!” and “Fuckin-Ay!” and jumps up and down and cusses the players. It is very entertaining watching him watching football. Me, I’ll start watching football when they change the game rules to allow the players to use knives, clubs and eighteen-inch lengths of chain, and not a minute sooner. ---

Three crepes paired with three “breakfast” beers (Founder’s Breakfast Stout is one). Then we will be doing a brewery tour, starting at Helltown Brewing (in Mt Pleasant, PA: zip code 15666) and ending at Indiana, PA’s Levity Brewing. A friend’s bluegrass fusion band is playing at Levity tonight. > > After that we’ll head to [Homer City](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_City,_Pennsylvania) (a tiny town named after the Greek poet) and stop at Decadent Spirits, a cool little distillery that makes some great liquor. Last time there we played Jenga till closing (“Y’all don’t have to go home, but ya can’t stay here.”) > > Sunday I plan to wake, bake, and relax. If I have a hangover, I’ll have earned it. As I predicted, I’ll be spending today “resting”. Yesterday was a really awesome day! ---

The Falcons center will be playing despite having a broken left fibula. Does that count! 😛 ---

Catch up on my DVR queue. I watch if the Packers are in it, but since they are not I have little interest. Might watch halftime time show, which admittedly isn’t often good. Brian ---

We moved from Connecticut to Bradenton FL last week, and have been busy getting all our ducks in a row since then. New car, post office box, a friend is letting us use their vacation home until our closing, learning commute routes for new jobs, receiving our Pod of household goods, etc. We have not had time to sit at the beach and enjoy the weather. We are going to take a day off today. It has already been a sex and pancakes Sunday, after lunch it will be beer and beach. ---

I have an appointment late this afternoon and I’m doing laundry. I’ll be helping my daughter with some homework too. She really wants to see the Puppy Bowl so we’re recording that. I may or may not catch some of the game. I like football but haven’t really followed it this season so I really don’t care one way or another if I see it. I’m sure at some point someone will turn it on. ---

If I’ve counted correctly I’m the fourth person to say they are watching the Puppy Bowl. Much more fun. Although if I knew when the Budweiser clydesdale commerical would be on I’d watch that. ---

Last week, a friend of mine purchased two 28.5 OZ jars of [Barrel Sauerkraut](https://www.amazon.com/Gundelsheim-Barrel-Sauerkraut-1-8-pound/dp/B0000D9MT2). Last night, he tossed the contents of both jars into a pot with 1/2 pounds of polish sausague and scarfed it down with 5 liters of fine German ale and then promptly went to bed. Upon awaking, he opened a package of [Calmol 4 Suppositories](https://www.amazon.com/Calmol-Suppositories-Pack-Health-Beauty/dp/B000RDQJEQ). Thirty minutes before kickoff, he plans to insert the entire package of the Suppositories where the “Sun don’t shine”. He then plans to tape his buns together with [Black Gorilla Tape](https://www.amazon.com/Black-Gorilla-Tape-1-88-Roll/dp/B000CSS8UE/ref=zg_bs_256160011_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MZBQ26YDY0F36435HQFD). Then just at kick-off, he sez he is going race into the the nearest bathroom and let [Roger Goodell](https://www.google.com/search?q=roger+goodall&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikqca5x_nRAhUeS2MKHSj3DhwQ_AUICigD&biw=1600&bih=770#imgrc=JQRbSkzb9tjFTM:) know what he thinks of him and his silly little sport. I plan to video tape this event and post on YouTube.
