I thought I was out of the blue funk for a while, but that turns out to have been kind of a temporary "whee, Homestuck!!!" high and I have been back to gray and washed-out for a few days. :-( But I did get nine hours of sleep last night so I was able to have lunch on my lunch break instead of taking a half hour nap like I've been doing the past week (my life choices, seriously, they need work), which is always a good sign.
Anyway. Change of topic.
So the NY Giants won the Super Bowl!!!
I am only a desultory football fan, but inasmuch as I have a team, the Giants are it. It was kind of fate, you know? I am from northern New Jersey and the Jets are pretentious annoying showboats (don't look at me like that, I am allowed to talk trash, this is football), so the Giants were the obvious local team of my heart, and even though I currently live closer to Buffalo, pffft, no, I will become a Bills fan approximately half past NEVER. (No matter how many stupid Bills-related memoirs and photobooks we end up selling at the smoke shop for local interest value, seriously, eesh.)
I wanted to watch the game. We closed the smoke shop early and everything (because there is no point being open when everybody else is watching the game!) but by the time I got home, what I was able to find first was one of those sites that updates with written information about every play, and the Giants were up 9-0 and...
Sports are one of the few things I am massively superstitious about, okay? I know it's ridiculous but I can't help myself. And I thought, "Oh shit, now I can't try to find actual streaming video, because if I start watching the game instead of just these play-by-play updates, clearly the magic will go away and the Giants will lose."
Completely irrational, I know.
But hey, it worked, didn't it? *grin*
Now I am going to bed so as to hopefully get another nine hours of sleep and continue wrenching my life back onto a semi-rational schedule. It would be nice if I could get there by Friday, when my parents come visit for my birthday.
(I am going to be 30, jesus fuck WHAT.)
...
Right. Sleep.
