walbournGrowing up in Texas, I hated football. I never really took much to sports save for tennis, and I found the Texan obsession with high school football irritating.
The reason? The local networks always stuck my favorite geek/fanboy shows on at terrible timeslots and then constantly preempted them for the goddamn football game! I can't tell you the number of times I came home to find my VCR tape full of foot ball and 5 minutes of the Star Trek or Babylon 5 epsiode for that week.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
appleang can attest to my near apoplexy over the routine screwing of the sci-fi fan base at the hands of the NFL.
Did I mention I'm not good at letting things go?
Anyhow, earlier this week I went to a happy hour and some people I met invited me to their Superbowl Sunday party. I figured it was a good chance to get to know some new people and with the Seattle Seahawks in the game, I'd be better served to know what the hell actually happened.
It was a fun party, but a disappointing game. Was it just me or are the Steelers smug sons of bitches? Did the network even have footage of the Seattle players to fill in with or did they not find them interesting enough?
Anyway, I didn't care about the game before today, so I'm not exactly all a twitter about it tonight. I appreciate the hosts and the other party goers extending their welcome, and it was a good reason to bake up some peanut butter cookies.
