Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I have been so lazy this weekend. I've slept til gone noon, loafed, ate the wrong foods, loafed some more, lather, rinse, repeat. And enjoyed every minute of it :) Got the week from hell at work next week so I view it as hoarding energy.

Watched two football matches, both decent enough background noise, with the Newcastle/Spurs game actually dragging me off the compy and making me watch. Newcastle came back from being 2-1 down to win 3-2 and Martins scored a goal that rivalled the beauty Thierry Henry scored against Blackburn yesterday.

Now I'm watching American Football, Bears v. Eagles (it's a good game) and really looking forward to the Chargers v. Patriots later. Thankfully that should finish at a reasonable time so I won't be up too late. Memo to self - investigate taking the Monday after Superbowl Sunday off work.....

I used to be addicted to American football, now I hardly seem to watch it but recently I've been getting back into it. I think if I could find a package like I have with www.mlb.com that would let me choose the games I wanted to watch, I'd get right back into it again. I think concentration is a factor too. I've only made on NY resolution and it's too improve my concentration levels. Honestly, I start getting twitchy if something's been going on for longer than 5 minutes. Like I don't often just watch a football game any more, I have to be online. I'm sure it's the reason I'm not reading as much these days so I want to do something about it. I need to prise myself off the computer a bit more, too.

Anyway, I'm all set for the big game tonight, I've got hot dogs and crisps :) I always have hot dogs for the big games and for the Superbowl, I'll load up with things like loaded potato skins, southern fried chicken, onion rings etc as well as the hot dogs. I try and be American for those occasions. (Mental note: wonder if I can convince jenni411 to have things like scones and clotted cream next F A Cup Final day?)
