I think tonight I'll take the long way

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl. That was quite the stressful game. The Super Bowl sometimes lands on my birthday but this year it's the day after. I told my friends that if they don't go to my birthday party because the Super Bowl is the next day they will never hear the end of it.

Sunday is becoming my favorite day of the week, mostly due to Downton Abbey. My obsession with that show seems to only be growing.

I was so lazy this weekend. I blame the snow. I had weird dreams last night. Dreams of people that I haven't seen in a long time. I woke up feeling a bit sad and nostalgic. But time marches on and none of us can stop it.

I've been listening to too much Dashboard this weekend

I'm ready for Downton Abbey

I have my garden party hat and my tea (not pictured but it's there). I'm ready!

The #Emmys

Has anyone noticed that the Emmys are always deemed "boring" or "dull".  Every year after a major awards show I check the internets to see what other people thought of the show and it's always the same thing.  The host is blasted for doing a sub par job.  The jokes and skits always fall flat.  Has anyone every written a positive review of an awards show?  I don't expect award shows to be super exciting and entertaining.  I watch them for the outfits and for the actors and actresses reactions to winning (or losing).  The day someone writes a positive review of an awards show I may keel over.

I was very happy that Downton Abbey won multiple awards.  That show is so good!  And Peter Dinklage winning for best supporting actor in a drama series made my night.  Well deserved.

Are you not watching this show?  Because you should be.  It's fantastic!
