So there was some match or something? I have a pretty healthy disdain of most organized sports, but american football holds a special place in my heart, because I just can't, for the life of me, make heads or tails of it. I've been explained how it works multiple times, and each time my mind just wanders and I go glazy-eyed and when asked if I got it I just go 'uh, sure' and continue to see a bunch of fat men charging at each other in huge shoulder pads. For hours.

It's like that for most sports. The only football matches (soccer for the infidels) that I ever watch are the Mexico ones in the World Cup, and, sometimes, the last match. Other than that, uh, I'll watch gymnastics and figure skating? And, uh, the fireworks? That's pretty much my interest in the Olympics. The fireworks. Yay pretty lights.

Anyway, today is a sad day for MAC descontinued its tinted lip conditioner in gentle coral. Noooooo. I shall go tomorrow and see if they have any left.

ps. this is not an invitation to be taught about american football. thx.

pss. I just realized this post makes me look like those annoying (and throughly invented by men) ladies that just want to gossip and try and get 'their men' away from the glory of watching of sports with friends. Good thing I don't believe in those creepy stereotypes, then.

There is no point in trying to understand American football because it's the MOST BORING SPORT IN THE WORLD and understanding it does not change the fact that every game is 99.9% men standing around doing nothing and 0.1% running and/or throwing a ball.

YES. It's so DULL and annoying and it lasts for ages and it feels like it will never, ever end.

And about the throwing/standing around - whatever little I've seen has annoyed me with how it seems to stop every few seconds when they've moved a few meters ahead, and then something happens and they go back and it all feels so, so very pointless. UGH.

It's like there will be twenty minutes of play and the result is WE'VE GAINED THREE YARDS and I'm sitting there thinking, most of those guys could pee farther than three yards, why are they so excited? *hands*
