Superbowl Monday!

I woke up on Monday morning with the sinking feeling that Saints were gonna lose. I even told my boyfriend D on  Monday morning "I'm sorry, I like the Saints but I really don't think they are good enough to beat the Colts". He calmly stated "I think you are wrong. They will beat the Colts". I then replied (I am uber pessimistic by the way) "I wish they would but it's just not possible". At this point he just sighs and moves on with the conversation. Now that I think about it he does that whenever he wants to plow through my pessimism. I never noticed it before. Wow, he's good. 

As I was getting for work, I was watching the stats on NFL.com which is the best website ever!!! Anyway, I was jealous of every single person that was watching this game live at home with wings, pizza, etc. Those of you that could watch it but didn't don't know how good you have it. At the end of the fourth quarter I was ecstatic jumping up and down as I tried to put on my contacts, jewelry, and makeup. I then called my parents who had been watching the game. All they said was "It was such a great game, ohmygosh!!!".

When I got to work, Miami didn't want to know who won because he was planning on seeing the game that night at a Superbowl party. California doesn't care for football, the uber pacifist only watches the UFC which is some sort of wrestling. NewGuy was not into football either so he was out. Erin was tired and decided to go home. That left Miami and myself. 

At 9PM on the dot, Miami tells me we have to go. We make our way to the Speakeasy where the second we walk in all eyes are on us. I notice I was 1 of 3 girls at that place. Not that I cared but it was a little weird. Either ways all of us are bonding (or brooding depending on your team) as the Saints keep scoring. Then 2 Korean girls arrive. They sashay their way up towards the front where they seem to know one of the guys at a table. The guy notices that we are shooting him dirty looks. He then walks towards the back behind me and tries to flirt as well as explain why a bunch of men where gathered here enraptured by what was going on in the screen. He was sorta loud and distracting a few of us in the back. I kept shooting the dirtiest looks I could muster because he should take that outside. You don't flirt and chat during the Superbowl- everybody knows that. He finally go the hint and brought the girls to the table where his other buddies where. There they remained and the girls were dutifully ignored by the guys until the end of the game. FYI-The only reason I noticed them was because they were right in front of the big screen. 
After the game, they decided to show the best commercials and I must say the Doritos as well as the Betty White were the best of all. 

Miami and I decided that we were starving so we headed to Lotteria which is a Korean version of McDo. They have weird combos like a ground shrimp burger with an avocado cream sauce. I played it safe with chicken tenders which are roughly the same all over the world. We then bonded over football and french fries (which really sucked- the fries I mean).

That night I get home and unintentionally wake Erin up. She proceeds to talk to Christina on Skype. Christina is shocked that I took a cab by myself because "Gwangju is getting more dangerous". "how so?" we asked because we didn't really understand if she meant that the cabbies were dangerous or the streets. It was one of those lost in translation things.  She is gonna find us pepper spray though.
