It’s Super Bowl Sunday. I fact, the halftime show is on as I write. It’s amazing how poor some of the acts sound when they’re not in the studio. Even with all the cool stuff the engineers can do with live performances nowadays.

To say I’m not a football fan doesn’t come anywhere even near the truth of the matter. I don’t understand the game. The rules, the language, it all baffles me. No matter how many times someone tries to explain WTF a down is… And by what logic there can be more than one of them called first… I dunno, I just don’t get it. (And no, that’s not an invitation to try to educate me. I’m perfectly happy in my football ignorance.)

But today – game day – was great. I spent the morning and part of the afternoon robot building. Then I went to the gym. Had a great workout, no waiting for anything; the place was empty! Everyone readying themselves to watch the game, I guess. Driving around, the roads were empty. Later I did some grocery shopping. Again, empty. I got a lot done and no waiting to check out.

Hmmm, I guess I’m a fan after all! But probably not for the right reasons.

Hey, didja know that today’s also National Porn Sunday? That’s “the chance to bring hope to those who are struggling with pornography.” [shrug] Haven’t seen any commercials for that. Porn is big business, but I guess xxxchurch.com and their friends can’t afford it.

Super Bowl advertising probably represents the most expensive access to eyeballs in existence. Haven’t seen anything really, really outstanding yet this year, though I can’t say I’ve seen ’em all. In a couple of days, when the servers aren’t being pounded so bad, I’ll set aside an hour and watch ’em all. Purely for entertainment value, mind you.
