While we’re in a ‘Time Out’ – More musings.
Literally pacing.
Refuse to go online in case there are spoilers regarding the game.
Then I had the brilliant thought of, “We could still watch football!” Only to remember, the Packers/Bears scores would be shown atop whatever game is on. *sigh*
SO! We’re having an intermission. Until 1, when everyone else knows the outcome of the game, and we have to watch it on Game Pass when the game ends.
I put a pizza in the oven, you could have a piece if you were here.
An hour into the 3 FREAKING HOUR ‘intermission’ – I decided to take some photos. This was after more pacing and cleaning the toilet.
Here you go – my ‘No Packers Game Must Fill Time Photos’
Such a let down this morning was – like ‘Wishful Makeuping’ remember that from Pretty in Pink?
Getting all excited about something – and then it doesn’t turn out the way you want.
Which, let’s face it. IS usually the case. Life is full of ‘Wishful Makeuping’ and then something else happens instead. (Although, Blaine DID show up for that date – much to the horror of Duckie.)
Got to always be prepared to either, A) Sit in your makeup and outfit you picked out or B) Wash your face and roll with it.
I rolled with it. We found a solution, albeit, not on our hoped for timeline, but, photos were taken, art is being drawn right this second out in the sunshine by my honey – and life is good.
Sometimes what we want is trumped by what we need. And when that happens, it’s pretty amazing.
We can wait.
Best Laid Plans – aka: The freaking game isn’t on my TV!
Well! I was all geared up for the game. Literally bought those tissues for my honey as a joke – got home, (When I pulled up Jim was outside in his Bears shirt!) put laundry away and checked the cable for the game.
‘We’re off to a rocky start’ is an understatement. NO GAME! Our cable provider in this area isn’t showing the flipping game! I had my jersey out, my cheesehead …
I even flung a joke around “Hey honey, know why Yoda is green?”
Him: Why?
Me: Because he’s a Packer’s fan!
So here’s the deal. Jim signed up for a free trial of Game Pass. There is a catch however. We can’t actually WATCH the game until it’s freaking OVER!
Which, means, radio silence so we don’t hear the outcome.
I’ll end the blog here and I guess, won’t be blogging in ‘real time’ but, in the future as I see it ‘unlive’. There WILL be a game blog. Dammit.
Musings from the Laundromat: Pre-game Edition
I keep looking at the clock.
Excited about the Green Bay/Chicago game.
As I’m sure you know (or may not know) they are rivals. And it just so happens that I’m a diehard Packer fan and my fiance is a Bears fan for life.
I plan to blog the game in realtime, then post it.
Gawd knows how that’s going to turn out, but we can be sure of one thing (other than the Packer’s winning) there WILL be nacho drippings on the keyboard. Maybe a tear or two. 😉
Anyway – that announcement out-of-the-way, here’s a photo taken yesterday of someone walking down our street/dirt road.
I don’t know the gender of the person under the large umbrella, but loved that they were sporting it.
‘Til the game! Have a great Sunday everyone!!!
D & D – an outsiders P.O.V.
It’s late – I’m outside.
There is a story being told. And “For all intents and purposes” was used correctly.
AND, I heard “Cloud City” (Which, turned out to be ‘Floating City’ Bah!)
Am I in a Grammatically correct Star Wars right now? Am I in HEAVEN?
No, I’m outside listening to my honey playing D & D online.
Wow.
They’ve evolved.
#1: It’s online
Me: But how do you roll?
(Yeah, I used to play, total nerd, you knew that.)
#2: There’s a whole program for characters now!
#3: Dungeon Master doesn’t have to come up with the whole story anymore.
I’m listening to my guy explaining a whole new world to a group sitting on Skype and they haven’t even started yet!! These are men in their 40’s!!!!!!
I love that my son played. I love that there is still imagination.
I’m not sure if I love that it’s played this way now – the whole point was hovering over your character like you would a book with a flashlight past your bedtime.
Remember that?
Book lovers?
I remember that.
Ok, so now game is ON! And apparently ‘Stone Beard’ met up with my guy. LOL!
I’m not laughing out loud at the game – I’m actually laughing from happiness that there are still some people USING their imaginations and I will scurry from ‘Arden Wood’ and ‘Roma Quill’ and let them have their privacy.
But, right now, they’re in a forest – and are encouraged to ignore the Wizard from the coast …
BUT WAIT! My honey mentioned, they have a camp fire showing …
What will happen? It’s a roll of the dice. Do enemies see the fire and approach? Or do they have sanctuary for the night with warmth from the campfire?
We’re seriously only going to know tomorrow, because, this girl is going inside and watching a horror movie. lol.
I love this shite. Freaking love it. GO IMAGINATION!
YES!
Debauchery Soup 
Bears VS Packers – an experiment in real time blogging (only it’s not)
Sep 13
Posted by debaucherysoup
MY ‘real time’ watching of the Packers vs Bears. (Why ‘MY’? Because the freaking game wasn’t on my TV. We had to wait until it was over to watch it. Now it’s on. Only it’s not.)
I stayed off of social media – ok, I did go on to boast about this amazing sauce I got at the 99 cent store! SO GOOD! But I had blinders on and didn’t click on ANY notifications.
Game Pass still says ‘Black Out’ which, means I can’t begin yet.
I’ve been ready for this game since 8:30.
So, now we know a little more about me. Not only am I a nerd, but also love football. Baseball not so much – only because it seems like you wait FOREVER for something thrilling to happen. I feel like if I was at a baseball game, I could wander off and grab a hot dog and I wouldn’t miss much. This is in direct juxtaposition to Basketball – when something ‘thrilling’ seems to happen every 2 seconds. But, it also gets boring when something ‘thrilling’ (like a million baskets) is expected.
When it comes to football, anything can happen, and sometimes does.
Good enough for me.
THAT being said, WHY wouldn’t my cable provider carry the game??? It’s a huge rivalry and no ‘home teams’ in my state were being broadcast.
I call shenanigans.
So, how to do this? I was going to post the actual time and my thoughts. Now I can’t do that. So, we’ll just do my thoughts, in order.
This will be long. But, anyone who cares about football or my blog will read. (Although, this has NOT been my experience, the shorter the better.)
I should also preface this with the fact that I have the mentality of an 11-year-old boy.
When it comes to watching golf or football, many of the things the announcers say is followed by “That’s what he said” or “That’s what she said” and then I giggle in my head.
Football commentators say the funniest things – and clearly mean it to describe the game, but I can’t help it! LOL!
We’re still in ‘Black Out’ mode on the PC. Let’s pause and go to the lobby for a refreshment shall we?
Newsflash …. The game will not be shown until 6pm our time. WTF??? What the actual *#@!?
SO! I stop now.
And I may stomp a little around the house – then I’m going to check the score. Because you know what ELSE is on tonight? Fear the Walking Dead.
What a let down.
Here we go though, here’s how I see the game actually happening:
Someone was @ 1st and 10
Someone threw a ball
Someone missed catching it
Someone caught it
Someone got a touch down
Someone missed
Someone kicked
Someone won.
Bah.
BAH!
