Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have dusted, vacuumed, done laundry, gone grocery shopping, picked up pet food and litter, and helped prune and tidy the front yard. I plan to spend the evening watching TV and vegging out.

A Jamaican place I haven't been to?
Have you been to the one on La Tijera and Sepulveda? (Near Magic Johnson's Franchise Empire.) I think it's called Derrick's or something.
In other news, they are opening up a Peet's on the ground floor of the building on my corner. I'm pissed. I see a lot of detouring up the hill in my future.

Our wings are not tired.
It was my understanding that they called them bowl games because of the shape of the stadium.
The injury of your QB at the beginning of the game was quite a blow. Still a season they can be proud of, unlike say the Dolphins.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
bowl games
Yeah, I think it started with the Rose Bowl. It was the name of the stadium and then became the name of the game, then other "bowls" were built and post-season college games were all called bowls.

The GA clip show was weird.
I have most certainly not been in a cleaning mood today. I cleaned the kitchen, then I cooked.

Was it a clip show, or a recap show?
Thanks for the bowl info. So the Superbowl got its name from college sports, huh? Cool.
Kristen, I have not, but I'm making a list.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I swept and raked the back yard. Swept the garage. Moved a bunch of stuff so it won't get rained on . flattend and tossed cardboard and put in the recycle bin. srubbed the bathroom top top bottom - leaner than it has been in a month. Put the xmas decoratation ( with Dh's help ) in the garage. picked up the billions of empty water bottles in the house. Installed new window blocks for all the windows. put in a load of laundry. soon I will hang up clothes.

Oh, Palmer was injured? I didn't start watching until halfway through the 3rd quarter, b/c I was at the movies.

Well I only saw half of it, but it showed the essential soapy plot points of each episode, without any addition narration or scenes. Except for maybe a few vistas of Seattle.
There's nothing at all spoilery in that whitefont, unless you consider the format of the clip show to be spoilery.
