football talk
Well, not really football talk, as I wasn't all that interested in yesterday's game. Please do not think of that as a girly "Football is hard!" declaration, I just have nothing invested in either team. Don't hate either team, don't love either team.
But I did watch some of it, anyway, and since we all know the commercials are more important than the game, I will report that my favorites were the monkey/whoopee cushion and the cat/knife commercials. I seem to have a weakness for animals in ad spots, which probably goes back to those evil sinning "Bud. Weis. Er." beer-guzzling frogs.
(Ben's favorite was the Mustang commercial with the frozen guy. How do we even get along? A car commercial? I hate car commercials even more than "Lost another loan to Ditech! [wa-waaaa]" commercials.)
In other news, I'm really looking forward to next season -- I have a feeling the 'Skins will at least make it into the playoffs, though I doubt they'll be playing the Superbowl next year. This year wasn't the best (although there were a few games in there that rocked), but the defense is so beautiful it makes you want to cry, and my faith in Patrick Ramsey is still alive and in one piece. Dad seems to have the same faith, and he knows more about these kinds of things than I do, so I'm not totally out in left field. And Ramsey's supposedly starting from the get-go next year, which will be nice.
If my 'Skins make it to the playoffs, I will host a theme party next year for the Superbowl, no matter who ends up playing the actual Superbowl. There. That takes care of that; I dislike hosting parties (too much anxiety and perfectionism in my blood), and my luck is pretty monkey's-paw-ish, so playoffs, here we come!
