So, real life is secondary I've been workin on getting to know Second Life a lot more, and it's eating up most of my internet time. It's fascinating, though overly filled with gambling and places the school moderators (and the Powers That Be) wouldn't appreciate me going. But once you get past all that, there's a lot of great stuff going on in there. And since it's all user-generated, I'm learning more about working with 3d graphics and a little C#. VERY little C#. I'm programming deficient.
Free classes, neat people, lots of "oh, neato" places to visit. I'm definitely losing touch w/real life.
And oh yeah, we are still having a wedding sometime soon. I'll remind Tiff to get on that again.  ¶   0 comments

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 28 another painful hit. Jackson got hurt that time. Hurts no matter what angle you watch it from.
Not really much left to watch here, people.... been fun, though. We'll keep talking, because, well, why not?
2 minute warning has the winner of the first-ever commercial contest. why are people watching again? right, there's a game.
Favorite commercial this break: Snapple zen-master.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 27 Bears: If you can't beat them, beat the crap out of them. A little tension out there on the field now. Maybe just too much water in their helmets. or elsewhere.
Flag. Nothing to see here.
commercial time.
Best commercial: still the careerbuilder survivors.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 26 INTERCEPTED THE PASS! Poor Bears, they're going to get angry letters tomorrow.
We got distracted by boingboing.net. it's more interesting.
most disturbing commercial: Flomax. For all those men who want to go all day, not all night. If you're fainting, can't pee, or have other manly issues, buy this. Why is this on TV?
best commercial: Etrade things you can do with one finger. "get to know your doctor" and "tell your expensive broker where to go."

  liveblogging the Superbowl 25 Start of the 4th: "knees are not supposed to go that way." That really hurt Marvin Harrison, limber or not. ow ow ow. Oh yeah, touchback, holding call, and some actual yardage for the Bears. a little. Then the colts intercepted for a touchdown. Sorry bears fans. 28-17 Colts.
Best commercial: Budwieser virtual superbowl.
Best Animated: American Choppers HP ad

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 23 Challenge! Possession, both feet on the ground, Harrison caught the ball. Not much else happening....
Best Commercial this break: so far, nothing but CBS commercials. All Night Pet Store. Because it was the ONLY non-CBS commercial that break.

  Liveblogging the superbowl 22 still pouring rain. For once, I'm glad I'm not at the superbowl. it looks nasty out there.
Clover's loose now, and might be getting more attention than the game. 2 minutes to go, and the Colts almost intercepted the Bears desperate 3rd down pass. Our bears fan scared the puppy, she's venting on the little duck slippers now.

From our resident expert: "Why did they kick the ball? They could have made a football!" a what, we all ask. "you know, a football. when they go down to the other end and dance." This is his first football game. No joke.

College: education on all fronts.

  Superbowl liveblog 21 Best Commercial: Axe murderer with bud light also pretty good. honorable mention to nationwide w/Kevin Federline.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 20 Whoohoo! 20 commercial breaks. There's a game? No, the bears are in hibernation (thanks Teal for that one). You know you're watching the game with biologists when they discuss whether or not the Bears are in torpor (they are, because bears don't truly hibernate. whatever.)
Colts got so close to a touchdown, but no. Field Goal attempt...flag... the Bears tried to plough a Colt. 22-14 colts.
Best commercial: Emeraldnuts keep Robert Ghule' away,
Best car commercials: still Chevy.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 19 Our Bears fan is getting worried, hehe. 2 sacks (or, 1 sack and 1 gymnastic number as the ball rolled away) and another punt.
Best commercial: careerbuilder.com's continuation of corporate survival camp
honorable mention: taco bell talking lions. Because you can't go wrong with talking animals.
I don't think we got the VanHeusen commercial... moving backwards because you dress right? uhhuh. It all starts with...bad commercials.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 17 And now....the second half.
So, the actual halftime commercials were, let us say, disappointing. Hopefully, this half will return to being good.

1/2time Chickenwing run to walmart: 18 minutes ^_^

FG Indy! 19-14 Colts.
Best Commercial: getting robbed by your bank? Etrade commercial feels very familiar somehow.
Cool Coke commercial again. I always wondered how those things worked.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 15 Question of the day: how much did those poor people get paid to pretend to love Prince?
So definitely not a shining moment in super bowl halftime history.
Best commercial: the one for crimial minds......sadly enough.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 14 Warm fuzzies! And, yeah, Prince is coming in to Queen's "We Will Rock You." Followed by, yeah, still Queen's music. He hired Storm for his tamberine girl. This looks like American Idol's lost tryout videos.
Why, for the love of god, why is this on our halftime show? thousands of men just downed their beers in horror.
Somewhere the football greats are crying.

So, while we hide in the kitchen, lets meet the cast here. 2 colts fans, 1 bears fans, and 3 "yeah, whatever, are the commercials on?"

This is awful. He's singing "Rolling on the River." because we all know prince has been "workin for the man."
The light up band uniforms are pretty fun.

clover, our super-awesome beagle, is hiding in the back of her crate. Everyone else has fled to the kitchen. The flashy lights have me captured.

AND NOW HE'S KILLING "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER!" I hope the Bob Dylan fans send him lots of hatemail.


Foo fighters? eh, that song couldn't suffer much more.

I'm turning the liveblogging over to Tiff... it's time for me to go get more food.

  Liveblogging the superbowl (commercials) 13 Another time out? End of the 2nd? No, just getting ready for the field goal. Some CSI commercial. I still don't watch that show. Then the Colts missed the FG. ow.
Now it's time for the 1/2time show. More chips, and chili. Prince.... whoohooo. no nipples, please.

wait, more commercials first! no, just more CSI. Still don't care. Shark? never heard of it. CBS bought all their own commercial breaks.

Best commercial: Cool havoline animation. Nothing spectacular, but neat to watch. I want a Havoline robot.
Ford execs, if you're reading, GM beat the snot out of your advertising. Sorry.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 12 last 2 minutes of the second. Indy 16, Chicago 14. My vision's going, I couldn't tell if it was a 6 or an 8. maybe it's the crappy fot. First downs: Colts 13, Bears 3.
Bears wrestled the ball away. That hit Tillman took looked like it hurt.
Then the Colts get it back again. I told you, wait a play.
That little manning pass before the break was Peyton deciding he really didn't feel like getting tackled.

Best Commercial this break: well, it was the only one. Touching note from Frito-Lays.

  liveblogging the superbowl 11 did you HEAR the Prince solo they're using as a teaser for 1/2time. That just made me want to mute my TV. it sounded like he dropped his guitar off the stage and the rain fried it!
Anyway, back to football. Colts defense has the upperhand, stops the bears again. Punt to wilkins gets the Colts back on track.
Urlacher scares me. And should scare Peyton too.
Best Commercial: Connectile Disfunction (Sprint Broadband)
also, Wild Hogs looks like fun. I know those people.

  Blogging the Superbowl 8 I've been outvoted on the last commercial break. Dalmation won that commercial break, with honorable mentions to Garmin. Posted under duress, but still outvoted :P.
Mannerly? takes it to the 40. not much else happening there.
hahaha! best commercial: Dorito's checkout line, with honorable mentions to both chevy corporate car wash and the careerbuilding.com survival training seminar. Wow.
Also, Dorito's first one was the first fan-made commercial to air on the superbowl.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 6 I'll be honest, the bears got the ball and I got more chips. But I saw the colts defense hold the bears down. haha. Don't like who has the ball? wait a play.
said by the announcer: "There might be a little moisture [on the ball]." Really? it's monsooning out. David Spade in the stands. from the announcers: "If their show was a hit already, they'd be in the suites." Burn.
So that's the end of the first. Not much to see here. On to the commercials. And the dip.
Best Commercial: GTA (copywrighted, not mentioned, but there. hmmm...) Coke commercial. Who says video games have to have violence? Give a little love. Besides, there's dancing hamsters. can't go wrong with dancing hamsters.

  Liveblogging the Superbowl 4 if you don't want the game spoiled, you should probably quit reading. duh.
2 back to back fumbles, then a run all the way up to the 4, another touchdown for Chicago. Bears are definitely more used to the rain.
Best Commercial: Snickers?
And a racially charged swim-meet movie? Waaaay too many sports films.
Survivor Fiji - 5 miles from the resort -.-;;
