BIG BLUE! and other lesser things.

I have no effin' voice left. Oh my GOD, what an amazing game! Seriously, I'm going to be croaking well into tomorrow. But it's so worth it. Damn.

GodDAMN. Brady is going to be so black and blue (blue!blue!blue!) tomorrow.

I want to go to the parade on Tuesday. Stupid job. Stupid livelihood.

The strike is still hitting me hard, but I've been surviving by watching The Wire and checking out Torchwood (speaking of which - I love when shows take my 'ship and validate 'em: Ianto/Jack needs more love, baby!). I keep saying I'm going to sit down and dedicate entire posts to Wire reactions to convert more people to the light, but until then suffice to say Marlo needs to be taken *down*, and McNulty is officially one bottle short of a six-case.

Commercials. Right. We actually got quiet for them, as opposed to all the yelling and screaming and bellyaching we did during gameplay. I liked the FedEx messenger pigeon one, and the Vitamin Water "Shaq as jockey" one, but my favorite, hands-down, was the Chester Pitts and Ephraim Salaam NFL "ad". It's such a wonderfully cute story...and nothing gets my motor roaring more than a big humble man playing an oboe. Fo'. Serious. (note: I would embed it, but the video doesn't seem to be working tonight).

I think local hospitals will have a spike in deliveries between the last week in October and the first week in November. I feel moved enough to get stats on this in the near future.

But enough with the Superbowl stuff (go Giants!).

Is it wrong that I was outraged about EW's recommendation blurb on the boxed set of Slings and Arrows didn't contain a *single reference* to Paul Gross? Not one word. Nothing about how Paul's character tied the series together? No note about his work in due South? Absolutely nothing about him being one of the hottest pieces of ass in all of Canada? Or the way he made thousands of women warm for Mountie reds and Stetsons? No, EW? For shame.

Yeah, I should go to sleep now. *grin* But not before I watch the highlights of the game on Sportscenter. Whoo!

You sure this doesn't have anything to do with Chester Pitts, Grocery Bagger's wardrobe? :D

It's the combination of the bow tie and the hair. I don't know whether to pinch his cheeks or buy his bean pies. *grin*

Oboooooooooooe.

That is all.

TOTALLY agree about the ads-- that one made me happy.

That and the Audi one with the Godfather reference. Cause I suddenly, desperately want an Audi thanks to it. Now THAT's advertising!

But yes mmmm good times!

As a New Yorker, you are now obligated to run around the streets of New York drunk and crazed thanks to the Giants. ;)

my fav commercial as well.
probably has to do w/ the fact that i played an instrument in the wood family for 10 years.

He's so cute! With the oboe and everything. I know zero about football, but that was an awesome commercial.

How far through this season of The Wire are you? I realize that's an odd question, but I can't watch it when it airs, so I'm dependent on the internet pirates. I've watched the first 5 episodes, and I am really enjoying it! McNulty is completely nuts... I can't see him getting out of this season okay. And yes, someone definitely needs to take down Marlo.

I have HBO On Demand, which means I get to see the show one week in advance. I'm up to episode 6? now, I think. What do you think so far? I feel like we're up to the same eppy.
