So this was Super Bowl weekend and my team, the Pats, were in it again for the third time in four years. Being a fan of New England sports teams has been painful ever since I started following in the early 90's (and I got in at the tail end). But lately it has been just awesome. Four titles in four years, three of them in the past ~365 days. It has been an unreal ride, and it's very probably I will live my entire life without seeing anything like it again.
Amber has been broken lately. She has some sort of lingering cold that has kept her down and out for basically the last month. Thanks to WoW it hasn't bothered me too much since I've had other things to do, but it's starting to get me down. Having a girlfriend that you never see is worse than being single in some ways ... certainly more frustrating. And the times that I have seen her the past month, it has only been for a few hours at a time and we never really do anything. I bring all of this up because she came over briefly on Saturday evening, but didn't stay the night. Then Sunday she was supposed to come over for the Super Bowl but bailed instead. So with Valentine's Day coming up it makes my life tough because I have no idea what to plan for. Frustrating.
Friday night my friend dropped off his golden retriever for me to dogsit. I'm very much a dog person, and much more a small dog person than big dog. I have a Jack Russell Terrier, and he's awesome. High energy, in your face, "big dog in a small dog's body" style. The golden retriever is so slobbery and gross, it disgusts me. Plus he always has the most blank look on his face. I think he's a pretty smart dog, but he doesn't look it. So anyway, those two played all weekend and it wore ME out. You see, my Jack Russell likes to rape the golden ... which is sort of amusing unless you're the one trying to get him to not do that and he tries every single minute.
And yet, somewhere in between the raping dogs, super bowl victories, and defunct girlfriends I managed to get some time in with WoW. Damn addictions.
