amanda, superbowl
Other than walking around the block this morning to get a bagel with Livia, I haven’t left the loft in three days. But I will be heading out to the airport in just over five short hours, which I’m sure will make my morning just peachy.
Superbowl Sunday! Geoff, Livia, Robert, Mandy, Elliot, Monica, Wuy, Lesley, Vienna, Jim, Steve, Sigrid, and cute kids AJ and Elouise came over to watch the Superbowl and feast on Geoff’s amazing, spicy chili, Geoff’s amazing, garlicky guacamole, Vienna and Jim’s tasty cheesesteaks, and the V-team’s healthy fruits, hummus, and pita. Livia and Robert were gone for much of the day because they had to play a concert somewhere out east. Imagine that — a concert during the Superbowl! Aparently, there were quite a few concerts going on today because Lesley went to one as well. It’s ironic that we put on such a production today because the vast majority of those in attendance couldn’t give two shits about the Superbowl’s outcome.
Monica: “Oh, I guess he was supposed to pick up the ball?”
Mandy: “Is there a way to fast-forward past the present?”
Monica/Vienna: “Yeah, like, to the end of the game?”
I love it. :)
And so we sat through the game and its crappy commercials, feeding off of the excitement that football fans Geoff Nuttall and Jim Batcho scented into the air. Livia even got excited a few times and started clapping for no real reason. But I have to give the Superbowl some credit: it was the company that made the day lots of fun, and any day that brings together friends, chili, guacamole, cheesesteaks, and beer must be a good thing, right? And Vienna even had a BEER (or, part of one)! Until today, I had never seen her take even a sip of the stuff.

Damn I wish I was closer to you guys :)
No, I didn’t watch the game, but Natalie made me watch some of the commercials on the Tivo, including the Cialis commercial with all its old-people-still-do-the-wild-thing goodness. (There just isn’t an emoticon for the sour face I’m making.) Anyhow, your red sofa was in the commercial, I swear.
goooo E-A-G-L-E-S
damn the team with the hotter cheerleaders lost … darn those patriots. I stayed up watching the game here in blighty only to get very bored by Paul Mcartney pretending he’s still a rocker. Why would you get him and not the Rolling Stones … or perhaps an american band or singer for an american event. Anyway Paul made me go to bed … only to wake up this morning with an Eagles loss and a Sea and Sea DX60 … at long last I am underwter with it. Well ok it’s just water proof on dry land but it has potential now !
The Cilli you cooked reminded me of the Chilli Cook off in Cayman … yummy free chilli from the best restaurants. I guess I can stop rambling now .. maybe i can vent my words into something productive or better yet something profitable.
I believe I was the one to make the brilliant suggestion that we fast-forward past the present. Though Mandy gets credit for the memorable “C’mon people in green, run run run!”
As for the beer…that last photo is me hanging on to Jorge for dear consciousness after five sips. “Lightweight” is a euphemism. ;^)
lightweights is a good thing in girls … at least that is what we always used to say …. its the girls that like alcohol that always cost me more of my hard earned (ok not so hard) money.
was it you, vienna? hmmm. perhaps so. ’twas funny, in either case. :)
