The Superbowl

For the past month or so, I’ve been trying to eat better, work out and what not. I’ve dropped about 10lbs, give or take, and gained a lot of muscle back that I had lost from lack of any kind of physical activity. I have also limited my alcohol intake to 1 or 2 days per week. I try to make it only one, but you know, things happen. I have recently discovered the joy of a new beer. For a couple of years, I have been a big Beck’s fan, as it is affordable ($5 for 4 pounders), and it tastes great. I’m a big fan of pilsner style beers. I tried Beck’s light the other day and was quite impressed. It’s uber light, packing a whopping 64 calories and 4 grams of carbs. I can drink them real fast. Last night for the superbowl I drank 4 in about 10 minutes. Ended up having 10 total, a large stella, and a La Fin Du Monde. All in all it was fun, sketchy, and great. I give Beck’s light an A for being so drinkable. And still having 3.8% abv.

Now, onto the big game.

The superbowl was great to watch last night. Fantastic game overall, really exciting, down to the last minute. Nice work preparing on both sides, good coaching, I’m glad Dr. Foreman has finally come out from under the wing of his mentor Dr. House, and won his first title. I managed to make some notes last night, which for some reason are more cryptic as the night goes on.

“Oh I Gotta Pee So Bad”- just rolls off the tounge? The words, not the pee. It’s going to be the next Don Creeper single.

I clapped when the Star Trek commercial came on. Literally. I clapped. I don’t know why. But I loved it. I can’t wait to see it.

The Bob Dylan commercial was pretty fun, yet very stupid. I would not drink Pepsi because of it. If they used Aesop Rock instead of William, it would have made my head explode, as I often draw the comparison between the two. I agree with the gumby/shreck reference, but belushi/ jack black? I don’t know about that.

There was a 3 second commercial that many probably missed, but it was pretty sweet. Just a big dude yelling HIGH LIFE into the camera.

Cars.com made my a monkey commercial, which I ALWAYS hate, but this one was okay, and made me laugh.

Hulu had a great commercial with Alec Baldwin, till the animation at the end.

It’s funny that Visio took a crack at Obama for taking too long getting the stimulus checks out. Funny how new tv’s cost just around the amount of each persons check.

I would feel bad for Larry Fitzgerald if he weren’t so rich. His dad diddn’t even clap when he scored a touchdown. WTF? How is that even possible. His second TD of the night was spectacular.

When Holmes caught the game winning touchdown, I meowed, several times. I’m still not sure about that.

Of course the big star of the night was Jeff Goldblum, who was in a promo for USA networks. I was wondering if we would see Jeff for the next 4 years. Number of public appearances since Obama was elected= 0. Yes, I’m saying that Jeff Goldblum is the president. Think about it.

I nearly forgot the awesome vat of Superbowl chili made by my SLF. It was awesome.

On a completely unrelated note, Michael Phelps got photographed taking bong hits. Big deal. No wonder he smokes weed… look at what he needs to eat every day!
