Game? What Game?

Tonight we had a family-only Super Bowl watching party.

At least, the men watched.  Before the game started I gathered enough projects to keep me busy sitting on the couch, because for me the game is something that happens between breaks in commercials.  My pile of projects included:
  • Today's newspaper
  • Newspaper crossword puzzle pages from the past few days
  • Laptop computer and a stack of  'memory jogger' reminders of tasks to do online
  • A week's worth of ads and magazines to go through
In the four hours it took for the game to play out I was able to get a lot done.

  1. I read a book and only watched the commercials which were a lot of fun. I felt so sorry for the Broncos though.

    1. Even though the Broncos are professional athletes and got handsomely paid for their time, I felt sorry for them, too. The Super Bowl is a huge stage to fail so badly on.

    1. You're right. Even the real football watchers in the family were getting bored as the game wore on.

    1. I thought there were fewer good commercials than there usually are

  4. Did you know that while we Canadians can watch the game we can't see your commercials? It is so frustrating. We can only see them online. We are treated to rather dull normal Canadian ones. Yesterday as I was working on a blog post my son texted to ask if I was watching. As we are from the west coast we both were leaning to a Seattle win. Anywho, I left the blog and turned it on and knit. For me the game is something that happens before and after the half-time show.

    1. I did NOT know about the commercial issue!

      I was enjoying the halftime show when an acquaintance called to chat. (She had no idea the Super Bowl was on.) I left the room to talk, and missed the last half of the performance
