S and I are watching the Pats/Jaguars. The stupid fucking Packers won this afternoon so we’ll have to hear about the goddamn game for the entire week. I really hope they lose next week so people will shut the fuck up. I hate the Packers.
Today was a pretty good day. I woke by six, after sleeping a solid twelve of fourteen hours. Last night I woke at 8:30PM, after sleeping for four hours, ate leftover pizza, and read from “Crooked Little Vein” until I fell asleep on the couch at ten. I needed the sleep.
After waking I ate breakfast, cleaned a bit then rode the elliptical for thirty-two minutes while watching old “Office” episodes. I showered then accompanied T to basketball, where I continued reading the Ellis. The book is sick and hilarious. The rest of the afternoon passed quickly. I transferred some music from CD to the mp3 player, cleaned old files off the computer, and read while the boys spazzed out on the second floor. After a quick dinner (salad, pretty healthy) and the first half of the Pack game S got in trouble for punching T while playing. I was kind of wired, after watching football, so I cleaned upstairs and hung out with T until the Pats game started.
I think I’m staying home Monday and Tuesday. I can’t think of a pressing reason to drive into work. Plants? I don’t know. More later. I’m on the couch. Good night.

I think it's interesting that the two franchises that have real character in the region, namely the Packers and the Cubs, are the two that you hate. I came to the region without any prejudices, and it didn't take long to realize that these are the two teams worth rooting for, in particular the Packers, a small market team adopted by the entire community versus all of the billionaire's baubles, essentially extensions of their own egos, like the Cowboys and the Bears, against whom they compete. Anyone with a working class bone left in their body should be a Packers fan.
You don't live here. You don't have to see them on the news every ten goddamn seconds and hear all the bullshit about how they're practically saintly. Plus, that whole small-town Packers gimmick grows tired after you hear about the players getting in trouble and the brass' power trips. Trust me, Jimmy, if you were immersed in Packers culture, you'd feel the same way.
I will let your comment about the Cubs' character slide lest marines threaten you again.
