November 19, 2010: Real life begins again

November 19, 2010: The day after the last game of the season. For the past few months, it has been as though I've been living a strange little half life. I am completely consumed by a sport that 6 months ago I only marginally cared about. It seems so long ago that I though about days and dates as being individual units, instead of thinking of them in terms of being week long spurts between games.

I've learned a lot about football while I've been here. Like a lot. Probably more than I will ever need to know. But I guess I can drop my knowledge bombs to impress unsuspecting crowds... so that's a plus.

But the negative side is, all that football info is replacing my pop culture knowledge! I don't really have time to sit down and watch TV any more. I used to catch up on Saturdays during the day, but clearly that isn't an option right now. I have to much to do during that time!

I am hoping that after the big move on Friday, I'll be able to sit down and catch up on the things I used to enjoy, like reading and tv and lazing around on Fluffy and Tater's couch. My pop culture radio silence has been kind of refreshing, but I miss having time to sit down and relax!

Any books, tv shows or movies you've read or seen in the last 3 months that you recommend? I've been so out of the loop, I'm going to need your help on this one!

Best wishes and blessings,

Brooke
