I pay attention for so long then lose interest and seemingly miss all of the things people are raving about. <BR/><BR/>The fact that I would rather watch the VP debates than a sports game was a big factor in my decision though too. I just thought VP debates would be more worth my time.<BR/><BR/>But now that you bring up those other points, it seems like it wouldn't be so hard to have tried it. Though when I think about it, it reminds me of going to a party where you don't know anybody, and everyone is talking about the same thing... and you just feel like you can't relate and can't get a word in.<BR/><BR/>Which just makes me feel awkward ha. But heck, maybe if I twit(ter?) about sports, I will partly overcome that social fear as well. <BR/><BR/>And yeah haha Palin and Foer both made disclaimers! It really struck me.Andrea Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523208426680401491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053919121962976158.post-48137205608513762512008-10-07T08:36:00.000-07:002008-10-07T08:36:00.000-07:00Two quick points here...1.

If you don't like or understand sports, can't you sort of tweet about other things you see and hear on the broadcast (announcer's story or ridiculous blazer, fan shots, commercials between innings). All are part of the spectacle of the broadcast of the game. And like you would at a dinner party, you are looking for ways to enter the conversation. We should talk about this point more in class. I am interested in hearing from more people on it.<BR/><BR/>2. I laughed when I saw the Palin-Foer comparison. I thought the same thing!Scott Brodeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911963501040430087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053919121962976158.post-85286128464082074632008-10-06T16:16:00.000-07:002008-10-06T16:16:00.000-07:00Yeah, I can't talk about sports at all so trying t...Yeah, I can't talk about sports at all so trying to twitter about it would have been pretty bad, I didn't even want to try.Andrea Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523208426680401491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053919121962976158.post-40465419046735544772008-10-03T13:05:00.000-07:002008-10-03T13:05:00.000-07:00AGh I feel your pain!
