What will you be doing instead of watching the SOTU tonight?

My options are:

Petting the dog
Vacuuming
Counting snowflakes (like real ones here in Ohio)
Practice my instrument (organ)
Watch the Food Network
Sleep
Cook something

I would go to the Gym but they have too many TVs.

None of my family nor friends will tune into this travesty. I, personally will be watching my soon to be 13 year old, gymnastic practice at the studio that has no tv.

I will bet the first words out of his mouth tonight will be "exxon investing 50 billion into the united states"

For better or worse, this is history, and the results of the speech are things we'll have to live with.

It's not really as exciting as it sounds, but it beats watching SOTC.

15. Hitler's Empire: The Post-War Plan

That or The Curse of Oak Island.

If those prove bad, BBC America is showing Braveheart. But Ooh SyFy has the Goonies.

Appropriately Comedy has a Drunk History marathon. Too bad I am an alcoholic. But A&E has Intervention.

Vice has Hate Thy Neighbor.

Cool, Sundance has Apollo 13.

So it's the Hitler thing or the beginning of Apollo 13 or The Goonies. I do plan on watching Joe "ginger" Kennedy. He rocks! I love him.

However, I do believe it will be a long night. So I better check and make sure I got enough popcorn.

Most of the nation don’t turn it on to watch so that man gets the lowest watched SOTU rating ever! Then we turn it on just in time to watch kennedy’s SOTU rebuttal so his gets the highest ratings ever.
Is that even possible I don’t know but I hope so.

I'm not getting a fantastic bonus check from my employer. I'm glad because I know I would watch but would scare the dogs by yelling and swearing about 30 seconds in.

Scheduled for a colonoscopy today and haven't been able to eat since Sunday. Watching an episode of Fixer Upper and doing some laundry. Waiting for the Blue Moon, Full Moon and Blood Moon to come up. Anything but watching the Dotard.
