So I now know what half of the rest of the country has been bitching about for a month. Below zero sucks. My lower lip has a permanent crack in it, I think, there is no way my car heater will EVER warm up on the 2 mile drive to work, and if I even *think* of leaving anything necessary in my car for more than 15 minutes, I think I’ll have to invest in an ice pick. Seriously, I dropped my bag in my car after work today, came back no more than 10 or 15 (exciting and perhaps death-filled) minutes later, and if I would have tapped my bag with a hammer, it would have shattered. I’m convinced. I think the next step is to save on the electric bill and unplug the fridge, just leaving it stand open. No, that might make it too cold. Its just silly.
About the only other non-sleep related news of the day is that I proved my knowledge of Canada by belting out 11 (and a half) of 13 provinces/territories. Beauty, eh? And I swear the one I missed wasn’t in any textbook I ever read. I didn’t do so hot on the capital cities, but I bet if I would have started randomly guessing the big cities, I probably would have done pretty well. Hoser.
So tomorrow’s Super Bowl Sunday, and keeping in my season long tradition of making final score predictions that come nowhere near close to accurate, I’m gonna go with NE 27, Carolina 13. I could care less either way who won, though I wonder if Carolina wins, if my friend who has lived in Charlotte for 5 or 6 years now will become a Panthers fan, or stick true with the puke-faced Steelers he’s been a fan of for so long… I’m betting he sticks with Pittsburgh, but I haven’t heard from him in 3 months, so I might not even notice.
In other Super News, plans for tomorrow include work, nap, pre-Super Bowl entertainment, Super Bowl with semi-alcoholic party, maybe another nap, then work that night. I *really* feel like I could go for a sick day on Monday, but how obvious would THAT be? Also, plans are underway for the debut of my second “client” (I like to call them my web bitches, but that hardly seems appropriate.) on the site tomorrow. The infamous Pete, the guy who coined the bar phrase “Have you met ____?” and thus, this humble website, says he wants a blog. So now he gets one.
Speaking of web bitches, little brother hasn’t posted in awhile. Must be staying out of gas station bathrooms. That would be a break from the norm for him.
BONUS PREDICTION: Carolina is on ESPN2 tonight, playing at Detroit. This one isn’t going to be pretty. I’m saying 6-1 Wings, only in hope that the ‘Canes can pull something out, just for me. The Blue Jackets are on as well, but they’re always on. They’ve had a tight game with the Devils and a defensive mind cramp against Nashville. Tonight its Minnesota, I’m going with 5-3 Jackets. And do you want me to break down the CBJ goal scorers? (Because I have nothing else to do right now and need another prediction to be wrong with?) We’ll say Nash, Zherdev, Spacek, Vyborny and Nash with an EN to ice it.
If I come anywhere close to that (especially with Spacek getting a goal), someone owes me dinner. Seriously.
