The first week back to work after the holidays is brutal. Makes you want to curl up on the couch, turn on the tube and tune out. Not even enough energy to make a Tebow-ing joke. Somebody order pizza.
WHO: Bengals, Texans, Steelers, Broncos, Lions, Saints, Falcons, Giants
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday
WHERE: Your local living room or sports bar

In gallery exhibit, eyes watch you. Potentially creepy, and certainly cool. Realist portraits in charcoal and acrylic.

WHEN: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Jan. 31. Opening reception 5 p.m. today
WHERE: North Charleston City Gallery, Charleston Area Convention Center

WHERE: Pure Theatre, 477 King St., Charleston

Think Prince and Huey Lewis, accompanied by Pink Floyd and The Pixies, with a Danzig and Def Leppard chaser. Now put it all in one giant 1980s dance pit. Yeah, that sounds about right for a Saturday night.

WHEN: 9:30 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Big Gun Burger Shop, 137 Calhoun St., Charleston

Grab a whole fish (preferably not living and preferably on ice) and your kids and learn the art of Gyotaku, or making prints from fish fins. If you're squeamish, there will be rubber models.

WHERE: Bees Landing Recreation Center, 1580 Ashley Garden Blvd.

Women aren't generally in positions of power in America. It's just kinda a fact. But who's to blame? This documentary points to mainstream media. We'd like to take offense — but we're not sure we can. Discuss.

WHEN: 5 p.m. Saturday; show at 6 p.m.
WHERE: Redux Studios, 136 St. Philip St., Charleston

We promise the tickets to see Handel's Rodelinda are way cheaper at the library than the Met. And you don’t have to get all dressed up and bring those funny little glasses, either. Score.

WHERE: Main Library, 68 Calhoun St., Charleston

Need something to do this weekend but broke from the holidays? Visit Patriots Point and the USS Yorktown and pay whatever you've got. Wonder if they accept pocket lint...

WHERE: Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, Mount Pleasant

Roller derby girls and good bargains sound like something to get out of bed early for on a Saturday. And much warmer than going yard sale-ing. Plus, proceeds keep the league rolling in 2012.

WHEN: 7 a.m. to noon Saturday
WHERE: Hot Wheels Skating Center, 1523 Folly Road, Charleston
