martha - i too find the milkshake song strangely alluring. It has a good beat and really strange lyrics.
So we are moved into our new (really old) house. It has been fun but exhausting. We're living out of boxes and slowly adjusting to things. I sleep on the couch because my room is not yet set up. The rooms joe and i will sleep in aren't painted yet. They are the most amazing retro colors of green and blue ever complete with terrrrible green shag carpet. I will take pictures. Overall, it's cozy and new, but not quite home yet.

I just got home from kenan miller's house where there was a congregation of football watchers. Here is the conclusion i came to as explained to a friend with whom i was chatting online:
"why should i pretend to have any interest at all in sports? would any of those guys sit through a three hour musical with me while i make stupid jokes that only people who know about musicals would understand? i don't think so."

so there you have it. this year, i might not even feign interest in the super bowl because frankly, i really don't care. and i'm not going to feel guilty or weird about it any longer.
