Ten Things

...to do if you don't like football:

1. Cook for friends who do.
2. Read a good book.
3. Go to the movies.
4. Do any of the above until halftime. Then find a TV and pray silently to self that Prince plays something venue- and audience appropriate, like this.
   
5. Watch "Cinema Paradiso" on TCM.
6. Go see, eat, and do stuff (and make new friends who also don't care about football) at places that might otherwise be packed.
7. Steal the remote from your significant other. Tell him/her that you really think he or she would simply adore "Beaches," which is conveniently playing on Oxygen.
8. Pour yourself a glass of life-sustaining red wine and consider the delicious possibilities inherent in these three little words: "Cheney under oath."
   
9. Face the Snark.
   
10. Make fun of the game, the ads, the host and home cities, the announcers, players, the coaches, the fans, and the halftime show with your friends in blog comments sections.
