Downton Abbey was very exciting last night!

  Do you think the guy is really Patrick, or not?  I wonder why he left?  (And the plot thickens.  --Surely the other guy didn't kill her, even
if that is what they want you to believe..?)  Not that she didn't deserve it.



     Beautiful mind

It's here again.  Schmooperbowl Sunday.

I'm going to hear a recital with Renee Fleming and Susan Graham.  

Later, it's the new episode of Downton Abbey!

Puppybowl, Superbowl - I'm going to do the same as every year: sleep! :laugh:
But if I were in the US, you bet I'd watch it! I like watching sports, and big sports events even more. :)


Meanwhile the Superbowl even gets aired live on German TV, so I could theoretically watch it. But my alarm clock will go off by 5:47AM tomorrow morning, so I'll pass.
Nevertheless: Go Ravens!

unfortunately, I can't find any figure skating on TV.

 :laugh:

I'll probably surf the 'net.

Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I'm going to go buy a DVD as a gift for a friend, then go work out, then come home and clean up the last of my Xmas decorations and put them away.

I also have a project to dye two pairs of shoes a different color today while the weather is warmish.

Once I finish netsurfing though.

Even though I said no to the sports channels I can see Super Bowl tonight, starts 11 PM - but I won't. I've been seeing my mom, planning a little for her 90th birthday in March. Made dinner, saw a film with that guy once married to Katie Holm..... Tom Whatshisname. Now hubby is sorting out old, already paid bills and I'm spending time here. Like Chrissi said, alarmclock start our day early so no football from the US tonight.
Ennis.....always Ennis.....

Wow, what a recital!  An all-French program, 19th century.  "Two divas, four dresses!"  Gorgeous stuff by Saint-Saens, Debussy, Ravel, Berlioz, Offenbach.  They mostly sang together, each with a turn at some solo songs.  They clearly like each other and their voices fit so well together.  A few funny moments:  "We'll be done before the pre-game show is over." And, "We sang every note live!"

Goosebump moment:  "The Flower Duet" from Lakme.  Someone must have recorded this from the Carnegie Hall concert a few weeks ago.

I'm watching the super cute Puppy Bowl now, only because SF is losing, and I'm not really a football fan. But who knows, the 49ers may work it out!  We went to church earlier and headed out to eat lunch.  By 3:00 the streets, shops, eateries were deserted; it seems Bay Area folk (well, certainly not just Bay Area folk, I'm sure) were somewhere preparing to watch the big game.  Right now I'll turn off the puppies and drive a few blocks over to MickieDs for a snack -- lunch is gone and I'm my stomach is rumbling!

Sounds like a super (bowl) of a concert, Paul!  Thanks for sharing that.  8)

I can't believe they had a blackout at the big game.  I only know what I read on Facebook, but WTF?  ::) ;D

I ended up watching "True Crime" stuff on the Biograhpy channel.

The last thing  watched was an hour long show on Ed Gein.  LOL
