Super Bowl Sunday. Since Arthudo was going to take the big room and the big TV, I thought I'd skip the game. However, when I decided to see the opening, I was so enamored by the beauty of the field with its alternating shades of dark green, I stuck around. I'll see if Brady extends the legend. He is reported to have said, win or lose, he fully intends to come back next year for another season. He is like a Greek god come to earth to play around with wretched mortals.

I was suppose to receive my Marilyn audiobook today, but Amazon handed it to the United States Postal Service, and they apparently decided to take Super Bowl Sunday off. I'm not too upset, so long as I do receive it. I'm not ready to play it anyway, but I am worried that they will lose it with their impromptu rescheduling. The USPS does not inspire one with a lot of confidence.

Apparently Grand Theft Auto is coming out with their sixth game, going by the trailer I watched at YouTube. The graphics are really stepped up. The game world barely looks animated. It's almost as though we are playing with cinema film.

I never made it very far in GTA 5 when I had a crack at it. So, I doubt I will even take a look at this new one. My glory days in the world of video games came and went with GTA 4, and I will never forget those days. That was a fun ride. I had serious doubts that I could master that game, but I did it - again and again.

Even if I had the money, I doubt I would try to get back into such games. I feel the need to invest my time in the old virtual world of books. But if I could get the money, oh, I would be tempted. Most definitely. And I've never been any good at resisting temptation.
