What a Novel Idea

Today is Feb 5. It's a holiday here, the day of the Constitution so there are no classes. We're glad it is a holiday because it is cool and rainy, the perfect day to stay at home and get a lot of work done.

At first I thought this was brilliant - to have a holiday the day after the Super Bowl so people don't haveto call in "sick, *fake cough, very fake cough.*" However, I have changed my mind because what I saw last night did not inspire a drunken bacchanal resulting in a very deserved and raging hangover the next morning. The game was good, even exciting at times with all of the interceptions. Tony Dungy made history. The commercials, I am told by an unidentified source, weren't great (although I really did think they were broadcast worldwide!? apparently not because we sure didn't see them (if you missed them too click here to watch 'em)) and the half time shows just get worse and wrose (I was going to fix that misspelling but I think it fits nicely, they do get wrose!) At least Janet Jackson was memorable! Prince looked either really bored and/or really didn't want to be there, I mean you could tell even he thought the whole shadow/phallic symbol/guitar thing was lame. He was right. It was. Lame. 80s twenty years later lame. Lame-o.

How old is Prince anyway?
