Last year Jimmy and I went shopping for home appliances during the first half of the Super Bowl game. For the last half I watched the Sea Chickens lose while eating appetizers and drinking Long Island's at Joshua's.
While out running errands I couldn't help notice how deserted the streets were. At 2 of the stores they kept the customers updated on the score over the intercom. What? If I'm out shopping, it probably means I don't care about the score or the Super Bowl. If I cared I would be at home, a party or a sports bar with Jim high fiving, yelling at the big screen, stuffing our faces with chips, gorging on food and pounding down beer while being sucked into the most over-rated TV event of the year.
At this point I would like to say that I like football, hell we play Madden Football 2006 on the PS2 all the time. Heated games that we bet household chores on. But lately I've had this creepy realization that the Super Bowl and the commercialism surrounding it is all about corperate greed.
So this year instead of watching the Super Bowl, the hyped commercials and Prince at half time, we painted Andrew's room. We bought some paint, a coat rack and some trim at the almost empty HomeDepot. Andrew's room turned out terrific! Still needs work, but we got a lot accomplished.
Afterwards we rewarded ourselves with pizza at Gordy's
This is the best pizza place ever, we had a coupon which tremendously drove down the price. They also had the daily buy one chicken fettucine get one free. So we took advantage of that too. I couldn't finish mine as the sauce was very rich.
