one for the thumb!

goooooooooooooo stillers!!! now, i'll be the first to admit that i'm not an NFL fan. i love football, but i love COLLEGE football. i'm all about the NCAA, and in particular, my dear dear alma mater. with that said, however, i'm very very proud of the superbowl XL champions -- none other than the pittsburgh steelers! and it's almost impossible not to get caught up in the steelers mania that's taken this town by storm.

tom had a helluva superbowl party, the keg was kicked midway through the fourth quarter, there were singalongs a-plenty to various steelers songs, there was much waving of terrible towels. a good time was had by all.

it's now 11:15 and the chorus of honking car horns and pittsburghians cheering in the streets has yet to subside (and there are lots of booming noises, too -- i can't tell if those are fireworks or gunshots... i'm gonna go ahead and tell myself that it's the former). this is a happy town tonight. and i'm a sleepy girl. so i'm off to bed, to dream of the steelers in superbowl XLI (shit, did i do the roman numerals correctly there?).

i've got some very entertaining pictures from tom's house tonight -- i'm sure they'll make an appearance here soon.

here we go! steelers!
