Tonight was a nice night of not watching the Super Bowl. Most of my predictions came true, save the main one... Steelers won. Fuck 'em. The NFL is officially on the "Dead to Me" board.
I (mostly accidentally) watched a smidgen of the pre-game where they brought out the MVPs from past Super Bowls. I did this because I had turned on the TV while I hooked up the PS One to play NHL '99, and the fuzz of channel 5 was on. It was cool to see some of those old codgers out there. I figure they're honoring them at Super Bowl XL because they're pretty sure most of them will be dead for Super Bowl L.
I've ventured across a new obsession. Since we're not paying $55 a month for cable, we've decided to invest (at least) that much into buying books. Enter Amazon. Books are cheap on there, dig? We dropped our monthly allowance tonight already. I bought the best of some books that I had borrowed from the KSU library (and were mostly coming due). Anyway, I've been putting together a "Wish List" because one of my biggest problems in a book store or a library is that I get overstimulated, overexcited and end up buying something I had no intention of buying. Then, my cash is gone and I haven't accomplished my objective.
Now, I have an Amazon wishlist of things I "need." Most of them are things I don't already have. Some of them I've already read repeatedly (as some of you may point out from past conversations) but never bought. The library is my friend, sometimes. Anyway, if you want to check my list out (and maybe buy me some things?), feel free. Or, if you have some of these books and you're anxious to get rid of them for cheap, let me know. Suggestions, based on what I've posted there, are also welcome.
I've taken some fake-ass NightQuil to calm me down and help me sleep. I was up until 4:00 am last night after having watched Crash after a hockey game. No wonder I had adrenaline problems! The bad news was that I slept until noon today, something I haven't done since my heavier drinking days.
Spring break is looking like two mini-trips. One will be to Niagara for a romantic overnight, perhaps in a jacuzzi room or something. The other will be to a secluded Ohio State Park to use our freebie. Each of these will be on the weekends to allow Amy to get her hours in. Maybe I can use the weekdays for writing and reading (and perhaps a little relaxing)?
Both sets of parents have already laid guilt trips for us to come home. We want spring break to ourselves. Beyond that, we really don't have the time considering that weekend trips home are ridiculously short and practically worthless. I told my parents tonight that they are welcome to visit us anytime. Hell, it makes more sense that way, because we live in an area that has more to do and because they have more money and better jobs, making it easier to take a couple days and go.
I'm getting drowsy as shit.
Go post suggestions for my second edition of mixtape madness.
Sleep.
