Super Bowl (XL)

明天，代表Pittsburgh的 Steelers 要打Superbowl囉 (可以說是爭football的冠軍寶座)!!

從兩週以前，所有市公車車頭上方跑馬燈除了顯示班次以外，還有"GO STEELERS"呢! 全市瘋狂到簡直是沒救了~~

(圖示：這是Downtwon古典音樂廳Heinz Hall門口的貼的標語)

昨天是super bowl weekend的最後一個星期五，走到哪裡都聽到大家談論著football，進入每一間店內一定找的到為 Steelers 加油的標語，而且一定是"金"底黑字，街上的人們穿著球隊的球衣，也是 "black and gold"，連超市賣的餅乾蛋糕都有代表顏色的蹤跡，這種沸騰的景象實在百年難得一見 *^^*

為了感受氣氛，我昨天就到處把所有見到有關這樣的景象用相機錄下來，像是服飾店的球衣、毛帽或圍巾 [其實黃黑相間的圍巾真的不錯看，很像是哈利波特葛來分多學院的圍巾一樣有氣勢!!]，還有酒吧之前的手寫看板上有比賽前替球迷刺青的服務，然後是餐廳外告示說因為球賽關係而提早歇業.........等等

昨晚和友Frieda去參加華人學生舉辦的中國新年晚會，即使慶祝著農曆新年，很多人不穿大紅色反而穿著Steelers的球衣....
~~插曲：我們只對活動內容中的電影"無極"有興趣，個人對它的評價是 --->很像PS2，有很惟美的場景或服裝，也有很灑狗血的劇情，當我描述給Britney聽時 (ex.一幕女主角傾城穿著羽毛衣在王城的上方被放風箏)，她笑到快昏過去 :P ，請自行去看片吧!!~~


(圖示：重點其實是飄在天上的那顆又黑又金的氣球啦! 這張攝於South Side的餐廳Cheesecake Factory前廣場上)

今天，super bowl前的最後星期六，起床後和友Britney跑到最有年輕人味的south side去，因為那裡有許多店面和酒吧，我們每走過一家櫥窗，就把有關Steelers的裝飾錄下來，包括：一間家具店的大玻璃上畫有美式橄欖球的頭盔、一間旅遊行李用品店的門口貼著"Next stop: Detroit(底特律是這次superbowl的比賽城市)" ，還有.....貼在停車計時收費器上的封街告示(由於比賽是6:30pm開始，安全單位怕賽後暴動所以把匹茲堡市內的街都封起來，只有公車或行人可以通行): After 9:00PM on Feb. 5, 2006, NO PARKING



明天晚上我要去朋友家為Steelers加油了，帶著 "Terrible Towel"、穿著"Black and Gold"的衣服，我們計畫如果可以的話，也要在比賽快結束的時候坐公車去外頭跟大家一起狂歡，希望結局是贏的喔!!
[過了這週末，我要回去作乖寶寶好好的唸書了!!!!!!.....However, 聽說若真贏Super Bowl的話，Steelers球員會掃街遊行呢.....我也要去湊熱鬧....]

p.s. 出門前沒唸書，還看著"美夢成真"的演唱會DVD (套一句Mickey說過的話:這麼墮落，行嗎?)，看氣象說明天會下雪，而且Steelers似乎是愈冷打的愈好耶，那就用Monica也很喜歡的這首winter song為Steelers加油喔 => GO STEELERS!


Winter Song (by Dreams come true)

The dusk is gaining ground, lights flicker all around
And as I walk the lonely streets, the snow is falling ever faster
Looking to the sky, I wonder where you are,
The way you came into my life, filling everyday with laughter

Almost blinded by the snowflakes on my face
Despite the chill I feel the warthm of your embraceIntoxicated now,
I stagger like a foolI feel that surely
I could float away...

* I want to show you everything I see, the way I'm feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you in deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you.

The sparkling crystal world, this magic winter land,
If I could share it all with you, and make-believe forever after

Like a blanket over everything in sight,
In the hush I hear the silence of the night
The snow has covered all the streets we walked along
I hope you still remember me tonight...

(* repeat)

Can't remember feeling this way before
Do you know, do you understand what's going through my heart
Well the way that I love you, I just hope you feel it too,
Tonight wherever you are...

(* repeat)
