Side Rant: Watch the next championship game and tell me the refs call it like they do in the regular season. That's why Defense wins championships. The game gets tighter with more holding, etc which is not called near as much as the regular season because honestly who wants to be that ref that made a huge call costing the game for one team or the other. This is seen in the NBA, NFL, NHL and any other sport that has interference between the two teams, even soccer. Too be fair offence is harder to produce when you are nervous for the big game as it requires that extra bit of skill to make the play as opposed to breaking up a play. Put your money on Defense.
The game began with much excitement and that was it. Denver fumbled the ball in to their own end zone and continued to get dominated after that. I tuned out by half time and went in search of a beer pong game or what ever to numb the pain. 43 - 8 final score!!! I was a fool to think it could be any different considering how Denver likes to lose the big game holding the record for worst loss ever and 3 of the 5 worst losses in Super Bowl history. Incredibly they have 2 Super Bowl victories, by narrow margins of course.

| Boring Super Bowl, but not boring drinking games! |
All the drinking and heavy eating over the last weeks of January coupled with a a dodgey lunch special was enough to crush half of February for me. Although I should have gone to the doctor, as a Canadian I struggled to crack open my wallet to pay for an appointment. Oh well, it's just food poisoning and it did pass. Always nice to lose a few kilos too.
Tips to prevent a bad stomach
1) Stop eating Blood Sausage every day!
2) Stop smoking furniture.
3) Stop chasing beer with shots of Fernet (yuck!)
4) Stop trying to understand Argentinian women.
5) Don't take antacid drugs recommended by a Heart Surgeon that cause diarrhea.
6) Balance your meats, not all pork at a BBQ.
7) Avoid getting computer viruses when streaming the Olympics from Russia.
8) Don't bother trying to order something with out cheese if you are lactose intolerant.

| As boring as it looks I actually love this type of food which I find the best for a bad stomach. |
In need of good healthy food I discovered a great lunch place thanks to my friend Luli. Martin Cocina is perfect with a nice variety and Martin himself, a high level chef, is not afraid to have an in-depth chat about his daily preparations and pretty much everything else.

Congrats to Canada in the Olympics. As I was getting over my stomach illness I once again got addicted to Olympic coverage which I didn't expect to find on Argentina TV considering they had only 7 Athletes representing the country. I believe Canada had approximately 240 athletes.
Special congrats to the Men and Women Curling and Hockey teams for 4 Gold medals!
