We Lost the Super Bowl, It's Gray and Rainy, and Hangovers Have Gripped the Region: Greater Seattle feels ever-so-slightly not as great this morning. We're losers. We lost. We're being rained on. The New York Times boils it down to "a highly questionable play call, an interception at the goal line, and a brawl." It's not just all these people having terrible mornings, although they are undoubtedly having terrible mornings, yes. We're hearing reports that every person in the city feels horrible. Go eat some pho, everyone.

The steps at St. Peters in Rome, scene of an E. M. Forster #epicfail.
Should We Do Some News or... What Do You Think? Naaaah, news is boring. British novelist E.M. Forster tripped on the steps of St. Peter's today in 1902 and "broke his arm." Then he needed help bathing "and each morning he woke up riddled with fleabites." So think about that, mopey Seahawks fans. At least you don't have fleas and a broken arm. If you do have fleas and a broken arm, I'm sorry.
