My Sweetheart texted me about an hour after the Super Bowl ended. Wise of him to wait I thought considering the mood I was in when the whistle blew. He said, "so did you survive the game," also wise to ask from a distance. My team lost this one. And since I am not a passive spectator - rather quite the opposite - I was hoarse, exhausted and in no mood to talk to anyone but Pip who was just as miserable as I was. We went home and spent the rest of the evening eating ice cream, chips and dip (till we were sick) and watching 'condolence' movies. Condolence movies only work if the parties needing the consoling can be consoled. The movies didn't work. Every few minutes one of us would randomly errupt, "Can you believe that such and such play - I STILL can't believe it!" To which of course the other of us had to respond and expound on our own disbelief. Oh, they were soooooo close!!! The 49ers almost had it!!!!!
Were we any better the following day? No. We both wore our team jerseys - GO SAN FRANCISCO! - and took meg amounts of chocolate with us to our varies activities of the day. At home Monday evening - more condolence movies.
All in all, it was a great game. I hate when one team runs away with it and the other gets thoroughly stomped. I like the games close. And the come back of the 49ers was freakin awesome - that's because the 49ers ARE freakin AWESOME!! Halftime show was take it or leave it for me and some of the commercials were really fun and a few were touching tissue moments - the Clydesdale horse, ahhhhh, the "so God made a Farmer", another ahhhhh. And I do have to say, Alicia Keyes, one CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY (another goose-bump moment!!! I also have to say, the Go-Daddy ad was not only GROSS, but was completely tasteless in my opinion. I mean really, what was the friggin point of THAT one? ICK!!!
In other news, I have to say something about this because Buntah did, Ginger had a seizure last Friday night. We thought it was the end. Exams and tests by the vet revealed bad news but she recovered and we brought her home. Some subjects are too personal, too painful, too deep for me to write about. This is one of them. There is no greater sorrow, no deeper agony than watching someone you love deteriorate and knowing there's not a goddamn thing you can do to fix it. Like I said, I am not a passive spectator. I am angry, I am frustrated and my heart is being slowly crushed. I will have to make a decision all too soon that is going to suck the life from me I fear.
