Not a football fan? What are you doing today?

^Ugh. I think the Superbowl bet with art is absolutely mortifying. It's beyond embarassing IMO.
Anyway, being from Pittsburgh, I'm mostly locking myself in my apartment and waiting for it to be over. Since I moved here in 2005 the Steelers have won 2 Superbowls already... I kind of can't believe how regularly this comes up. And a lot of Pittsburghers just go so nuts over it. It's hard to explain how nutty it can be unless you're here.
I find it depressing, especially given the horrible reputation of the quarterback. I don't understand the urge to celebrate people like that.

Well, I can imagine that publicity about the bet might bring some people who had not considered viewing the art before into the respective museums. And thereby awaken something unrealized beforehand.

I'll be doing the inverse of what I usually do when watching TV. That is, I'll have my son call me in when there's a commercial on, then leave the room for the stuff in between.

That was my plan, too, but the commercials so far have been very disappointing. I've counted 3 commercials already where people have thrown a can or a bottle at someone, and many of the others have been violent.

It's interesting to think about all of this in relation to Kate Mara and her family (their close ties to the Steelers). I wonder what she's doing tonight?
