Big Super Frickin' Hooey

[filkertom]

huskiebear is giving me a ride out to my brother's place today with replacement parts for my poor hapless car. Then we go back to her place; I help her clean, I do my laundry, we make sloppy joes. Dunno what we're gonna watch; I know what we're not gonna watch.

So.

What are you doing today, if you're not watching that stupid game?

Game What game?

I'm pretending to work, but as I have a cold not much is getting done.

[arensb.livejournal.com]

Misery loves company, so I'm kinda glad I'm not alone.

I have umpteen things to do, and several books to finish (I'm less than 150 pages from the end of Quicksilver, so by now it's become a point of pride: I will finish it). But I suspect I'll wind up catching up on LJ, then watching Buffy and/or the third Gamera movie while the cats shed up my nose and dig divots in my shoulders.

Well I'm in Israel, so Sunday is a normal workday. But as I feel lousy not much is getting done.

I'm at work from 7P-7A, after getting home from the current shift at 10A. Sleep between, and celebrating the start of baseball season after the g/a/m/b/l/e/r/s/ football addicts have had their fix.

And listening to good music the while, of course. Except, probably, while sleeping :-)

Cleaning my room in the apartment--probably by shifting a bunch of the movie dvds out to the communal dvdcase--and doing laundry.

We don't have a television, so we wouldn't be able to watch any broadcast TV live. Maybe we'll watch one of the Rumpole episodes on DVDs out from Netflix, or maybe I'll just be catching up on the mondo to-do list. Which I have yet to make up/update. (To do: (a) Make to-do list. Aiiiiiiieeeeeeee! (b) Stop sounding like Callisto.)

[tigertoy.livejournal.com]

When I get home from cleaning tiger cages, I'll hopefully have the motivation to deal with a backlog of pictures I need to sort, and read.

Stitching With The Oldies at the retirement center til 3:30, then visiting my brother in the hospital. (am I safe yet? when IS the game broadcast?)

I've almost got this year's GaFilk Interfilk quilt wound-up and ready to ship to Kathleen.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

6:30 EST.

[msminlr.livejournal.com]

dang! I've got to find something else to do...

[gypsy1969.livejournal.com]

It has been my tradition in the past to do some shopping during THAT GAME, because the stores are nearly empty. This year I have little money so if I shop it will only be at the grocery. My brother is having a game party and invited me to it because it is a ruse for his wife's 50th surprise birthday party. Since he only invited me yesterday and since I hate football I told him no. It's just as well, I'm ”not on my game” today.

SHOPPIES!

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Yes, si, ja, da! I have a Williams Sonoma gift certificate burning a hole in my wallet.

That and baking Cornish Pasties As Seen On TV [1] and freezing them for an upcoming SCA camping event, Estrella War. Think sci-fi con crossed with a scout jamboree, only better dressed.

What game? Is that basketball championship thingy, the Oliver Cup, today?

I'm going to clean up the apartment a bit, then have dinner (probably roasting a duck, possibly a chicken, and making some kind of fruit tart) with adrian_turtle and watching more Babylon 5. We're in early season 5, and we're going to skip most of the telegoth arc. Then I'll load her bookshelf in her car (assuming she drives here). By the time she leaves, That Stupid Game should be over. If it's not, and I still want to watch TV, probably the Food Network has something on.

[bald-ruminant.livejournal.com]

Game? There are no games today. The NHL is still locked out.

[joecoustic.livejournal.com]

It says l lot that I didn't even realize the Super Bowl was today.
That does explain why the grocery store was crazier than usual yesterday suppose.

I'll be doing the ubiquitous homework and hopefully something else relaxing and fun.

[suecochran.livejournal.com]

I'll be sleeping, and playing with our kittens. Maybe some housework but I doubt it. Having a friend over 2pm-ish to see the kittens (he'll be taking one and wants to observe their personalities before choosing).

[bardicwench.livejournal.com]

I'll be harassing my sister at the restaurant that she works at. It's a little Indian place that doesn't have tvs, so it will be nice to sports-less.

[wouldyoueva.livejournal.com]

I'll Tivo the game, do something else for the first hour or so, and then zap through the game to watch the commercials.

Jack usually wants to watch it, so I usually clean in the general vicinity, and stop to watch the commercials. That's been our custom, anyway. It'll probably be on in his room.

In 1983, we went off during the game to watch GANDHI, figuring the theater would be less crowded. During intermission, the usher announced the score of the game. If we were interested, why wouldn't we be home watching it? Never understood what his thinking was.

I'm burning CDs for Radio Capricon, doing laundry and playing with my kids

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

I'd actually like to watch the game (even though the Patriots are going to roll all over the Eagles) but have to work.

What can I say, I'm a sports nut.

[jss]

And I live in Bostonia, so I'm innundated with sports nuts. I'm gonna have to know at least the final score and winning team by the time I go to work tomorrow. (Dammit.)

[trektone.livejournal.com]

Hello! Go 'Niners! How sad they are. A gloating TO doesn't help any.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

In my dreams, the Eagles are driving for a game winning touchdown, time runs out, McNabb tosses the ball to a wide open TO in the endzone.. and he drops the ball.

Then the rabid squirells come as he's pelted with cans of chunky soup by Donovan McNabb's mom.

That would make me happy. Go squirells!

What are you doing today, if you're not watching that stupid game?

going back to bed for a couple more hours, going shopping, maybe putting in a dvd (Happy Tree Friends or Invader ZIM) and sitting in front of this hypnobox...

[arensb.livejournal.com]

that stupid game

Didn't they already have a Superbowl last year? And after the trauma of having half the nation exposed to a half-second shot that might have contained a nipple, I thought the network censors would have cancelled it.

Oh, and this might come in handy.

[trektone.livejournal.com]

If I had sufficient interest in either team, I'd be watching. I was even invited to a couple of SB parties.

Will probably spend the time cleaning my place, going to a movie, or attending a reading/booksigning (Lucius Shepard).

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

It's a Netflix day! Currently watching MANHUNTER, with discs of season 4 OZ, season 7 BUFFY, and DA ALI G show at my disposal. Also trying to get some writing done, and if I'm lucky I'll get some RP in.

[barbarakitten-t.livejournal.com]

pagan potluck. finishing up house drawings...i may clean if i don't sleep.

[druidsfire.livejournal.com]

I'll be working... for the cable company. So lords help me if the signal goes out. ;)

[poltr1]

Actually, I *will* be watching "that stupid game". Mostly for the commercials. (*sigh* I miss adcritic.com.) And eating pizza. Since the two teams playing are ones I don't follow, I won't be paying close attention to the game.

What I want to know is....why is there such a huge disparity between SF fans and sports fans?

[surakofb5.livejournal.com]

Watching Stargate episodes on DVD. Or anything else on DVD.

[ericthemage.livejournal.com]

I rode three miles on the exercise bike today. Watching the marathon of Mythbusters. Playing with my newborn. Normal stuff.

[skipjim.livejournal.com]

The same thing we do every night Pinky...

Try and take over the world!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

NARF!

[skipjim.livejournal.com]

I just couldn't believe someone didn't beat me to it!

Actually tonight was filled up with avoiding catching whatever has laid my wife and daughter up for the last few days, keeping my son out of trouble with the two sickly ones, and morning for the loss of my 8 year old computer monitor *lol*.

It was a full weekend =]

hee hee

[isolde-deely.livejournal.com]

We'll be playing Champions...and rescuing a missing football team. We're the San Francisco Sentinels and the 49ers are missing. The irony is, I don't think the GM realized that today was the superbowl!

[jalapenoman.livejournal.com]

Some friends came over and we spent the day playing board games, and Texas Hold'em Poker. I don't think the TV was on at all today.

[sylverwolfe.livejournal.com]

today was spent largely at work, from 10-6, in the warehouse tearing covers off old magazines then i came home and am catching up on lj while i sudy for my abnormal psych test that's on tuesday. and no, lj is not a case study for abnormal psych, tho it amused me to string the two separate concepts together into a sentence. :-) anyway, i'm trying pretty hard to graduate with honors, so it's just as well i only give a damn what's on tv on tuesdays and thursdays (house and csi).

Let's Try That Again

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

As I was saying before I messed up the HTML, so, we got the car parts out to my brother. Went back to huskiebear's place, made some excellent sloppy joes, MSTied about half of South Pacific, watched a couple of episodes of Gilmore Girls, shoved stuff into boxes and bags. I have clean clothes. All is right with the world.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Worked in the store, then sdavido and I went to dinner... took us a while to realize why the restaurant was so quiet. Soon I'll go fold laundry. Wheee!

[rms-butterfly.livejournal.com]

We went out to dinner at a great place, to have an almost-a-month-late celebration of fuzzyvanman's birthday. It was me, him and catsleftpaw, his other sweetie. Then we went to Half Price Books! Much better plans than watching that game-thing.
