Here in the (eastern) midwest I think people need some of that citrus fruit, I swear everybody's getting sick after the unseasonably warm weather last week. I'm hoping to avoid it this time around.

Thanks for the nice thoughts everyone, I just kicked back and didn't do much Friday, and not planning much more than that today. I'm still pretty tired, and had thought about going to a hockey game but my best friend has a cold & cough so we bagged that idea. I'm going to watch my hockey televised, maybe next weekend I can make a game.

Watching a replay of one of the Glastonbury festivals on MTV Live, just saw Chvrches, now - New Order! yeah!

Easy does it.

I'm groovin' to the music. While vegging out.

I’ll take the 5th on that.

I’ve always heard and said “No rest for the wicked”. It was a favorite saying of my grandmother. The first time I heard someone use weary instead of wicked was just a few years ago. We had a bit of a debate about it so we googled it (yes we’re nerds). Both are common idioms. No rest for the wicked is the altered form of No peace for the wicked which is a quote from the Bible. No rest for the weary is a another altered version of the quote. I prefer wicked, it’s a more colorful use of the quote.

Ermaghhhherd....a lazy Saturday. No rain here, nice, mild weather, almost 60 degrees. Just resting, doing a bit of internetin' (obviously...I'm here on TPF, right?), got some music videos playing in another tab.

I’m avoiding vacuuming and laundry...

 

[SquarePeg39]

But, my Patriots shirt is in the hamper so laundry is a must do for me today. The vacuuming can always wait!

I guess the alt. rock portion of this concert/festival is done for now, ZZ Top just came out with their white fake fur covered keyboard and guitar. If those farts can rock it out, I can, um, watch while sitting here in the comfort of my living room...

Hey, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, OK now he's getting me out of my chair!

Ohhhhhh, I gave your " avoiding laundry and vacuuming " post a "Winner" ranking, but the subsequent mention of the Patriots is making me consider rescinding that post ranking...

...Just kidding...I don't care which team wins the Super Bowl...zero affinity for any NFL team.

>>I am currently about 1/6 of the way into a 32-ounce portion of coffee I brewed about 20 minutes ago!

For all the Manning lovers out there:

If my last post tips you over the edge to remove my Winner status, I totally understand...

No football affiliation? Just no NFL?

My Sister says she isn't rooting for either team. Eagles gave us Michael Vick and dog gate. Patriots are seemingly always in the Super bowl.

I know not what to think. I suppose we'll watch it for the commercials.

mmm, don't hold the Eagles accountable; Vick was playing for the Falcons when all that went down. It was revolting. He's a POS and never recovered his skill sets after doing time. That's his real punishment (still not enough).

@Derrel: Seriously, aren't you near Seahawks territory? They're a fine organization to root for - great players, beautiful stadium.

No NFL. Ten-year season ticket and lifetime (well, since 1977) Oregon Ducks football fan. I find professional football boring. Very few momentum swings in NFL games. Plenty of boring, straight-ahead runs in NFL offenses. Players more interested in keeping their contract than in winning for the team. First team to get a decent lead wins 80% of the games or more. Average final score something like 17-10. All of these things are why NFL viewership has declined steadily. I enjoy watching NCAA football games. About 30 years ago, I decided that I wanted to have some kind of a weekend life, so I chose to follow NCAA D-1 football, and let the professional game and its killing of Sundays go. A great decision for me. Many other people go the other way, and watch only NFL football.

Terri: Yeah...the Seahawks are close by, 145 miles north. Never been a fan of them. Petey Carroll...former USC head coach....uh....nope!
