The Seahawks are going to the Superbowl! I am sure you all care deeply, but this is a big thing for Seattle - it's our first Superbowl appearance ever and we've had some heartbreaking years. For those of you who didn't watch us shut down the Caroline Pathers on Sunday, you missed a good game. Especially when you got to watch us shut down Delahomme and Smith, who proceeded to throw fits on the sidelines, but gave us the ball a few times (thanks guys!). I am very excited to watch the Superbowl this year even though the Hawks are not favored, even though we were the number one seed going in and the Steelers were the number six seed AND we have more players that have been to a Superbowl (six to the Steelers one). Seriously, just because the Steelers won three in 1970 doesn't mean they are going to beat us (please, God, please don't let them beat us!).
So onto more exciting topics, like riding the bus. Yesterday I was smushed into a bus with other passangers like so many sardines. Then the bus driver proceeded to turn the heat on full blast and the guy standing behind me was a mouth breather (it took all my might not to punch him in the throat). Once we were getting into Seattle I started feeling mighty faint, which was pleasant. All I focused on was 'don't pass out because someone will call the amblelance and you have no health care', which worked for me as I didn't actually lose conciousness. When your whole body is practically numb you are probably experiencing a low blood pressure moment, but I am fine and I managed to work through the day after eating some breakfast.
So I hope you have all been having a wonderful new year! Mine has been awfully busy and I have seen a few movies which hopefully I will review soon. Have a wonderful day!

Posted by: dr gonzo at January 24, 2006 11:07 AMYeah I'm with megs on the football thing, but at least Betsy watched some sports on TV. This is what boys do to people. You start dating them then the next thing you know your watching foodball, then your liking football, then your blog writting about football. Then your praying to God that the Steelers don't loose. Ok thats more than a little wierd. I understand its the superbowl and all, but join us again in girl world sometime. Its a very fun place here.
Posted by: at January 24, 2006 09:35 PMI am super excited to root for the Seahawks next Sunday. Hopefully some nice guy with HD TV throws a party so we can all watch!
Posted by: bleaus at January 25, 2006 01:13 AMwell, thanks to certian guys, i've gained appreciation of sports. and hell, now i even like them. in fact, i find myself watching the games on the tv's in the bars i frequent. i guess my problem is loyalty. most guys watch sports for sports and, of course, have thier fav teams to root for when they are playing. me? i'm bored if it's not a team i have a loyalty to. perhaps i'll acquire that appreciation one day..... yeah, right after i give up Gilmore Girls!!! bwahahahahahaa!
Posted by: dr gonzo at January 25, 2006 08:08 AMI guess the only thing that is keeping me from rooting for the Seahawks is their coach. Afterall, he was the Packers coach for many years. And being the Viking fan that I am... leading the Packers might just be unforgivable. He seems nice and all, it really is nothing personal... but he was a PACKER!
Posted by: Mike S. at January 28, 2006 10:13 AMI have always been a rather lukewarm football fan. If it's a good game and I care about the team I will watch.
Mike, I understand your hesitation, but if it makes you feel better we don't have Brett Favre. And the Seahawks get no respect, sortof like the Vikings....
Posted by: 10lees at January 31, 2006 08:50 AMAfter a week of the media gushing about the Steelers, I may be willing to overlook the Packer connection. I agree, the Seahawks are getting no respect at all. The Vikes, well, with the Love Boat incident and all... they really don't deserve any respect.
And the more I think about it, it's really not the Packers I dislike, it is their fans :).
They do wear giant wedges of cheese on their heads, that can't do much for their intelligence factor. :-)
