went to a superbowl party. not a football fan, but i usually like the commercials and i really wanted to see u2, so i went. brought books and the newspaper to entertain myself. also went on an ice cream run during the game. and walked the dogs. i saw the important parts - u2, the last two minutes of the game, and many lame commercials with a few good ones thrown in. what happened to all of the funny ones? i had to explain the kevin bacon commercial to my dad on the phone last night...i don't even know if he knew who kevin bacon was, let alone the six degrees of kevin bacon. i wonder how many people didn't get that commercial?

britney spears looks horrible with white-blonde hair.

u2 is too classy to play the superbowl. i thought they did a good job, though. when they displayed the names of the 9 11 victims at their concert they were singing 'one'...which i preferred - made it much more poignant. for the superbowl, however, 'where the streets have no name' was more appropriate...everyone i was watching the superbowl with went in the other room to watch the playboy playmates on 'fear factor' (needless to say, they were all guys), so i got to watch u2 myself on the 'big screen'. dan's coworkers had borrowed the 'in focus' projector from work and projected the superbowl onto a wall of their apartment, with surround sound and all. they missed out. but, if they prefer half naked skinny chicks with silicone breasts eating flies to bono and the edge, well, that's their choice. :)

since the commercials were disappointing this year. at least the game had some excitement. we laughed in the car on the way to the superbowl party how they fixed it so the patriots would win so that it would keep with the 'all american' superbowl theme...hmmm. all-american, yet the two showcased musical acts were english and irish. i found that interesting.
