Highlights and Lowlifes
On Tuesday, I was still bored from the Stuporbowl on Sunday, even though I wasn’t in the same room with it. I had been assured that it would all be over at 9:00, but when the half time show started at 8:00, I began to have my suspicions. Next year, I’m going to hang out with K in her civilized antique house and drink wine and watch Gilmore Girls and pretend it isn’t happening. We might make a few prank calls to sports-watchin’ guys we know, but that’s as close as we’ll get.
To recover from the proximity-induced tedium, I went to have my hair highlighted. It was the first thing on my to-do list for the year, and voila! It’s done, even though it’s only February. I met up with K at the salon – she was getting preened to attend the freak show in Madison Square Garden next week, also known as The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show as a reporter. To get an idea of the level of freakosity we’re talking about here, check out Best In Show.
As K and I, newly re-glamorized, left the salon, we noticed a fist fight in progress on the pavement. The fistfight was taking place in what appeared to be a pool of vomit. I’m not sure if it originated with one of the two contestants, or with one of the numerous spectators and/or casual participants, but we didn’t wait to find out who won or who was the one. As a police car turned the corner, we fled the scene.
K sighed, “That’s always happening when I’m here.”

So, Sports Suzy doesn’t extend to football?
Definitely not. Not now, not ever. Also find it embarrassing that people are brainwashed into believing the Superbowl is an “event”, to the point of commercials – commercials!!! – aired during it having cachet. Not to mention the insane price of tickets. They must have one helluva marketing department.
However, am glad your town got the money!
