My Daily 500

During the Super Bowl

Yeah I’m bad at this every day stuff. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Right now I’m sitting with Brian watching the Super-Bowl. The commercials are ok, but I think the best one so far has been a Pepsi commercial during the first quarter. It was one of those generation commercials where it shows things from a long time ago and then things from today and how we are basically the same as we were back then, and then it showed someone drinking a Pepsi in both generations. You would have to see it to know that it was good, because my description of it doesn’t sound that great. I also liked the career-builder commercial where they kept saying “it might be time” if you blah, blah, blah, and they showed lots of funny pictures. Once again, you probably had to see it. It was good though.

I’m not totally into the game, but I am pretty glad that I saw the Steelers run back an interception 100 yards to a touchdown. I was so excited for that guy, and when they were reviewing the play I was really hoping that they wouldn’t overrule the call. Anyone who can run around all those guys and get that far down the field deserves a touchdown. I also thought Bruce Springsteen did a good job. I liked the part where he slid on the ground toward the camera and went too far and ended up hitting the camera.

Now it’s the fourth quarter, and the chances for good commercials are dwindling. I heard there was going to be a commercial that only one second long, and I kind of feel like I may have missed it. I mean, there’s a good chance I did. I haven’t sat and watched every second of the commercial breaks. I probably have missed several seconds, actually. At one point I did the dishes, made tea, I spent time eating, writing, and simply not caring. I think the odds are against me. I’m really just sitting here waiting for the special episode of the Office to come on after the game. That should be exciting.

— About 2 hours later —-

Well the Steelers won and the Office was great. I thought Stanley was actually going to die at the end of the episode, but I am glad to say that I was wrong.

I apologize for the boring-ness of this post, but I was in a rut and not writing my 500 words so I knew that today I had to get some out, even if they weren’t that interesting. I was determined to do it, even though all I really have to talk about is the Super Bowl, the Office, or other means of entertainment. It’s Sunday, and that’s generally a day that I get ready for the week, sit around, and try to save my brain energy for the week ahead. I’ve always liked my job, but lately it has seemed to require more mental energy than it has in the past. So, on Sundays I try to conserve it.

Finally 500. I’m sorry, I promise I’ll get better.
