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&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t in any textbook I ever read. I didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>So tomorrow&#8217;s Super Bowl Sunday, and keeping in my season long tradition of making final score predictions that come nowhere near close to accurate, I&#8217;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&#8217;s been a fan of for so long&#8230; I&#8217;m betting he sticks with Pittsburgh, but I haven&#8217;t heard from him in 3 months, so I might not even notice. <\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;client&#8221; (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 &#8220;Have you met ____?&#8221; and thus, this humble website, says he wants a blog. So now he gets one. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of web bitches, <A HREF=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/gregblog.shtml\">little brother<\/A> hasn&#8217;t posted in awhile. Must be staying out of gas station bathrooms. That would be a break from the norm for him. <\/p>\n<p>BONUS PREDICTION: Carolina is on ESPN2 tonight, playing at Detroit. This one isn&#8217;t going to be pretty. I&#8217;m saying 6-1 Wings, only in hope that the &#8216;Canes can pull something out, just for me. The Blue Jackets are on as well, but they&#8217;re always on. They&#8217;ve had a tight game with the Devils and a defensive mind cramp against Nashville. Tonight its Minnesota, I&#8217;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&#8217;ll say Nash, Zherdev, Spacek, Vyborny and Nash with an EN to ice it. <\/p>\n<p>If I come anywhere close to that (especially with Spacek getting a goal), someone owes me dinner.
