Violets in February?
It’s been an interesting week here in Houston. Today the temperature is 59 degrees… the coldest it’s been in a week or two. Cold – hot – cold – hot – no wonder my plants are messed up…
What’s talked about today?
The Super Bowl of course… not a major event for me. Let’s face it, the best thing about the game was the stage used during the half-time show…
There were a few good commercials. If you missed them, you can watch them online over at ifilm.com.
My favorites included Ameriquests’ “Cat Killer” ad…
FedEx’s “Dancing Burt” commercial…
And of course, the McIlhenny Tabasco: “Tanlines” ad…
American’s have nothing on British sports fans, though. Like this guy who cut off his jewels in response to the Welsh victory over England in Rugby.
No one I know got that excited over the Super Bowl, although there are a few I have not heard back from yet…
Then a little talk of Rice’s visit to Paris…
The Houston rail system is on hold because the Federal Transit Administration’s funding recommendations for 2006 don’t include the train. All in all, the Chronicle’s front page gets a “B” today… only one overt jab (albeit very un-creative) at Bush.
Steroid use in high school… words of wisdom from Jose Conseco on the subject. But then again, what drug could baseball players use?
Woman sues girls for delivering cookies… I sent my doctor a bill… and being anti-social can actually good for your health… and I am thinking of filing a suit against one of the mother’s at school…
Lawyer jokes are now permissible under the law, so of course I had to tell my favorite.
And of course, yet one more (hot) teacher gets caught having an affair with a student. Sad, though really… I mean, this is getting old isn’t it?
