Super bowl and other weekend thoughts

I love football.  Congrats to the Baltimore Ravens for a game well played.  The Niners have nothing to be ashamed of either.  I haven't been watching it all that much in the last few years, but I do love a good game.  Yesterday's Super Bowl WAS a good game.  Despite all the Monday morning Quarterbacking that is going on, both teams were IN the game until the very end.  I hate when the score becomes so one sided the game becomes a joke.  I remember years ago, actually ROOTING for Denver to score ( even though I do not like John Elway)  I was embarrassed for him.  Nothing worse than a dull Super Bowl.

I love watching the commercials.  That Go- Daddy Commercial however crossed the lines of good taste of humor.  If they were going for "funny" they missed the mark.  It was just creepy.  I thought she was going to eat him. If she had morphed into Predator, THEN it would have been funny.  It was just too "Soft porn" for me, the visual AND the sound effects made a combined YUCK for me.  The Calvin Klein Commercial with that well sculpted guy prancing around in seamless chonies was tacky but not nausea inducing.  I LOVED the Budweiser spot, with the man and the horse. Sweet , and advertising the "brand" without ever showing the product.  The Clydesdales are so identified with Budweiser, aren't they?  The commercials weren't all that good this year.  The Oreo commercial was silly, but the premise was bad.  We would have tossed their butts out for eating in the Library.  It could have never gotten that far. ;)  Best spontaneous moment?  One of the Ravens players lying on his back on the field that was covered in confetti, making a "snow angel" in the debris.  TOO funny. 

My mom used to love the halftime shows.  She would NOT have liked this one.  Bleh.  I wanted to see if Destiny's Child would really "reunite" as the rumor mill had it.  They did, sort of.  It was all a big  nothing for me, as the sound was terrible  and the "dancing" if you could call it that was just seeing how fast they could make the fringe on the bottom of the backsides of their outfits  fly around.  I wouldn't call anything the dancers and singers were wearing a dress, more like a bathing suit with aspirations.  In my opinion, Beyonce was lip syncing.  She was never winded and she did not falter at all.  She would have to be in phenomenal shape to do that.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I was bored anyway; that "Big eye" thing she does all the time, and when one of the other girls was singing the camera just focused on her.  Bleh.

On Saturday, my husband and I went to the wedding of two dear friends, Chiyo and Barbara.  It was a sweet day.  The couple and their families were glowing with happiness. It was a beautiful day.  Best little moments for me (I managed NOT to burst int tears of joy, just a little happy tears moistening my eyes and NOT screwing up my makeup)  The couples three dogs, dressed in doggy wedding finery escorting the groom and bearing the rings.  The "girls" were rockin' their "dresses"  Bruno, not so much as he ditched the cap early in the proceedings.  The bride's mother, when the couple gave everyone a change to make a speech, calling out "Grandchildren!"  It still makes me smile.

Gonna be another busy day for me.  Better scoot, so I can make the train.
