Super Bowl
Steelers 21 – Seahawks 10
The card will be in the mail tomorrow, Rick.
Made the donations to the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank and the Bible League as per the terms of two of the wagers I had. Dreama was kind enough to donate to my charity (The Global Fund for Women) and MeanDean offered to double my donation to the Bible League and donate to The Heifer Project as well. Even if my boys didn’t win, there are less deserving people who are winning because of the Steeler’s victory.
Argh!!!!!!!
Dear Skin,
I don’t know if you’re being a pain because you’re dry or because there’s an allergen in the air and I didn’t take my Allegra this morning.Â? You’ve been pacified with gifts of Claritin and Aveeno so STOP THE FLIPPING ITCHINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cuddles,

More Super Bowl Blogging Schtuff
[+] I got a really nice email back from the dude who does the Blog Watch for the RiverCities e-zine. (I had emailed him to tell him how tickled I was that the $tarbuck$ bet made the blog-watch.) I checked out their “About” page and it turns out that this is kind of a grassroots publication to promote their area because previously those promoting the area weren’t from the tri-state area. Very cool in my humble opinion.
[+] I spoke with my mother-in-law and apparently her cats are rooting for the Steelers because they sleep on terrible towels. Traitors!!!!!!
[+] NPR has a great meditation on the confusion that Seahawks fans are facing right now. They pose a good question: what kind of coffee do you serve at a Super Bowl party?
[+] Dreama has a list of alternative TV schtuff for those who aren’t interested in watching the Seahawks make the Steelers weep into their terrible towels.
Apparently They Haven’t Read The Rest of My Blog?
The bet between Rick and I got picked up by River Cities E-Zine as an example of “a couple of fans who aren’t completely insane”.
Rick’s comment:
Evidently, they didn’t spend too much time reading the rest of our blogs, huh?
Jon’s comment:
Hey hey… you’re e-famous.
Ick
The symptoms for which I’m on antibiotics are gone.Â? Food is however still icky and I’m exhausted, maybe because I slept fitfully last night.Â? Showering this morning did make me feel better (or at least look less like a really hideous drag queen) and I’ve been downing cranberry juice, ginger ale, and water to try and keep my fluids up and flush the icky stuff out of my body.
Maybe a nap wouldn’t be a bad thing for me?
I Heart Keith Olbermann
Tonight on Countdown, Keith Olbermann took Bill O’Reilly to task about some nasty words he said about NBC. Some of the better quotes:
Regarding cheap shots…
You know… I gotta confess that it never occurred to me; but when we quote your own words back to you about how the Catholic Church was out to get Christmas, or how we should let Al Qaeda bomb San Francisco… they must seem like cheap shots.
Regarding Robert Wright (president of NBC) being aware of said “cheap shots”
And let us leave our bosses out of this Bill, or I’ll have to call yours; and we all know how much Satan hates to be disturbed while “American Idol” is on.
There were others but these were the good ones that I caught.
