Remember how I said I always say I'm going to do things and then don't do them, when it comes to this blogging stuff? How I never follow through with any sort of schedule?
No? I don't either. Moving on.
Sunday was a success. The right team won, I enjoyed the party I went to, and the commercials, I thought, were decent. House's easily takes the cake, but there were a few good ones.
Here's the thing I don't get - Why are Coca-Cola and Doritos spending thousands of millions of dollars for special effects on their commercials? The whole reason for having a cool commercial air during the Super Bowl is that a bleepload of people watch it. 111 million viewers made it the most watched television show ever, a number to only be eclipsed by Super Bowl XLVI next year. But, who's going to take advantage of that viewership more? A company like Teleflora, who I only know exists because of the Super Bowl, or Coca-Cola, a mainstay in the states for decades? I think by now if people are going to buy Coke, they're going to buy it. A cool commercial will not make any difference. But that's just my two (thousand) cents.
I hate being sick. Like, I can't stand it. The only reason I'm writing this is because I'm home sick and bored as hell. Finals are over (and were successful, thanks for asking) and I was actually looking forward to a couple things at school today. But the only thing worse than being sick is being sick at school. Don't you hate it when people are coughing and sneezing and blowing and sniffing and basically just seem determined to infest the entire classroom with germs? Well, it sucks even more being that person.
Random thoughts:
- So I read about how my friend Emilie is doing this 30-day challenge thing over at her blog (go read it), so I thought about stealing that idea (I mean, I already stole the blog idea). But then I realized that 30-day challenge would likely become the 30-week or 30-month challenge and that I probably wouldn't stick to it anyway.
- If you read the eleventy billion status updates regarding a friend of mine's near-winning of 5,000 dollars, it got me thinking...what would I do with 5,000 dollars? It certainly wouldn't be going into a college fund or any of that nonsense, so how would I spend it? Buy one really big thing? A bunch of small things? I think I'd go with the latter. What about you? (Yes, you, the one person reading this)
- The ending of football season is a little bittersweet. While we are guaranteed no football for at least six months, it also signals the beginning of baseball season, also known as the beginning of "what is undeniably unequivocally inarguably the best sport ever created in the history of man and dinosaur-kind" season. On February 15th we will hear the four best words ever. No, not those four words, Bullet For My Valentine. These four words: Pitchers and Catchers Report.
- Valentine's Day is coming up. That has to be the most obnoxiously devious moneymaking ploy ever, and people buy right into it. If you have a "special someone", express your love every day. Don't go over the top for this commercialized atrocity of a "holiday".
I need to get my permit already. It is scary how lazy I am. Like, truly frightening. I've been putting it off for months, saying I'd be sure to get it by February in order to be able to drive by the beginning of next school year. We'll see how that goes.
On a somewhat more serious note, anybody who knows her or has a facebook friend who goes to Washington was probably aware of the whole missing person thing regarding my friend Britney. Turned out it wasn't too serious, but even though she's probably heard this ad nauseum since Saturday, I have to say I am glad she is back home and is safe.
That's all I have for today.
Video:
Had to decide between two music videos to share with you today. I've chosen this song by the Silversun Pickups, who I've grown to enjoy so much it's almost unhealthy. Until the next blog post, I will be "waiting and fading and floating, away" into their music. Well I thought that was sorta clever. Enjoy!
