  • What are YOU doing for the Super Bowl?

    There are lots of ways people enjoy the Super Bowl. Obviously, some people ignore it, but as Americans, most of us watch it in one way or another. Even my mother, who really doesn't care for football, usually watches it, if for no other reason than the commercials and the half time show.

    So, a quiet night at home? A Super Bowl party at a friend's? Hosting your own party? Watching at a bar? At some kind of special venue?

    Myself, I will be spending my second year in a row at a lovely downtown bar, which is doing the "private party" thing, in which you purchase your seat, and all food and drink is included. The benefit of the private party at a bar is that they only sell as many seats as they have, so the place is not overflowing, and you can actually get some decent service. I was one of the first to reserve my seat at this particular bar, and am planted at the bar itself, directly in front of one of the tv's--the same seat I had last year at the same bar. I had such a great time at this bar last year, that immediately following last year's Super Bowl, I knew I would be back there again this year. The staff is great, the food is wonderful, and they have plenty of craft beers. How can I go wrong?

    Also, I shall be DVRing the SB for the second straight year. Not for the game, per se, but so I can go back through and watch the commercials and the half time show, as those are often hard to hear in the bar. And honestly, I would rather miss a commercial and watch it later than miss any game action when I have to pee.

    So, what are YOUR Super Sunday plans?

    Last year I was in New Zealand. Went to a casino and watched the game with a ton of random people.

    This year...nothing. Might go to my dad's place to watch the game.

          Um...jack shit all?

          Don't really watch football and just watching for the commercials gets boring too. Plus I have work that night.

          If anything, I'll probably be watching more Doctor Who

              Yes!

              I might go to my parents' for dinner. If I have the game on at all it'll be for the commercials. I couldn't care less about football, and I only care who wins the superbowl if the Giants are playing, because my dad hates them . Also the Steelers because if they lose my friend D at work gets cranky and I don't wanna listen to that.

                  Super Bowl?

                  That happens this month, right?

                  So, yeah, you might be able to tell that I don't plan anything based on it's timing.

                          Nuffin.

                          Well, maybe working on some jewelry. I should go grocery shopping but it's too cold and snowy.

                          Just not into football (or TV commercials, if it comes to that...)

                            Took the day off just to watch it, though it's not like a I'm a HUGE football fan, I just like watching the game. I have a stash of junk food to eat and think I'm just gonna crash on the couch all day. I've had a rough couple of weeks and would just like to have a day to do nothing.
                            I would have a nice day, but I have other things to do.

                              Probably going to be playing League of Legends or some other video game, while listening to my brother/father watch the game and dealing with my dog Ranger freaking out because he associates the crowd noises from the TV with my dad/brother shouting.

                              He doesn't like it when people shout.

                              It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.
