Well the Super Bowl is upon us. And yes, despite my absolute hate of the Steelers, I will be watching...for the commercials. And during the game I'll flip on over to the Puppy Bowl. Because its just plain awesome.
In honor of Super Bowl week, I thought I'd post 2 of my fave commercials from the last few years. Both from NFL Network.

barry gibb talk show
Fallon in GD hilarious in these. I completely forgot about them until I just caught an SNL rerun while I was trying to fall asleep. I'm posting videos as a shout out to G-Money - who hearts these more than anyone.
Boooo there is only 1 of the 3 Barry Gibb talk show videos up on Hulu. Not cool, NBC, not cool.

I've had a fairly crap-tastic week, but TBS in its re-run-tastic-ness made it just a wee better. Usually I just flip past Friends eps on TV - I mean there are so so many of them and they're funny, but I've watched them ad nauseam.
But tonight I was lucky enough to catch my favorite favorite episode ever - "The One with the Embryos." The episode title is b/c Phoebe gets implanted with the embryos of her half brother Frank and his wife Alice ("My sister is gonna have my baby!!!").
But the real highlight is a trivia competition between Chandler/Joey and Monica/Rachel about who knows who better. The host: Ross. The stakes: the girls win and the guys get rid of their pet chick and duck, the guys win, they get the girls apartment. Hilarity ensues. Best episode ever.
If you don't have time to watch the video, here are the highlights:
What is Monica's biggest pet peeve?
Animals dressed as humans
According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the "bejesus" out of him?
Michael Flatly, Lord of the Dance
Chandler: "His legs flail around as if fly as if independent from his body!"
Every week the TV guide comes to Chandler and Joey's apartment. What is the name is on the address label?
Chandaler Bong
Chandler: "Actually its MISS Chanadaler Bong"
Monica: "Come on, Rachel! We steal the TV Guide every week!"
What is the name of Chandler's father's Las Vegas all male burlesque?
Viva Las GAYgus!
And of course, the LIGHTENING ROUND. The highlights:
What was Monica's field hockey nickname?
Big Fat Goalie
Rachel says this is her favorite movie:
Dangerous Liaisons
Her actual favorite is...
Weekend at Bernie's!
Joey had an imaginary friend as a child. His name was...
Maurice
His profession:
Space Cowboy!
What is Chandler Bing's job?
"He's a...he's a TRANSPONSTER!"

full time blogging
Well, the few of you who actually read this blog will be excited to hear that you'll be getting ALOT more posts in the coming days, weeks, and months. Yes my friends, today I got laid off from my job at H&D. I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. It didn't take me being an economics major to see that the company was never run well and frankly was clueless when it came to all things financial. Riddle me this Batman, how is it that I could have a regional virtually unknown healthcare company for a client at Planit that billed millions a year, yet at H&D we did all the in-store and packaging for an international cosmetics company and we billed maybe a 5th that amount. Hmmmm...
Factor in a troubling economy and the lay off really shouldn't be a surprise. But given my health condition, I somehow thought I was safe. Nope. I mean if you think about it, I was costing the company way more then my salary with all my insurance costs. Then factor in all the days I miss for treatment or because I'm running a fever. I understand that made me the most easily expendable from my department - I contributed the least. But I'm still taking it personally. Like I did something wrong. I'm trying to keep my chin up, and remember I wasn't fired. But its still tough. It will take a while to sink in.
For now I'll take this time as an opportunity to rest and do my best to get better. I'll deal with the tough stuff (oh like lack of health insurance, for example) in a few days.
I think now I'll play a little Rock Band to relieve some stress. (Yeah, kind of second guessing a $150 video game purchase now that I'm jobless... May as well make the most out of it.)

talk about a slow blog day...
So I'm in my usual right before bed routine. I'm in my PJs, I've brushed my teeth and washed my face, and now I play my last few Lexulous turns and give my usual blogs one last look before I get my zzzzzz's.
Well I hadn't looked at Dlisted all day so I'm giving it a quick once over and I literally laughed out loud at 2 photos. Admire for yourself:
Yeah, thats Mini-me aggressively french kissing a plastic baby doll (I can't even type it without LOL-ing). Apparently over in England they are running a "Celebrity" version of one of my all-time fav reality shows Big Brother. The word celebrity is obviously pretty subjective here. The only peeps I know on the show are Mini-me, Coolio, and LaToya Jackson. The others are folks I can only presume are minorly famous Brits. I may know no one, but I still want to watch this nonsense on DVD. I have fond hilarious memories of Mini-me on the Surreal Life (see the ep when he gets wasted and strips down and pees in the corner - classic reality TV). So god only knows what its like when he can't leave the house at all. I mean what were the circumstances that lead to this picture anyhow?
Next photo also begs the question of what were the circumstances that lead to this picture.

Owen Wilson and Rick Rubin riding bikes at the beach?! Really?! How random.

ummmm coolest parents EVER!
You all know I heart everything about our splendiferous new president Obama. And now after reading this article on Best Week Ever, I have even more to lurve.
Apparently last night at the Prez and Michelle were cruising the many inaugural balls, Malia and Sascha got to have some friends come over to check out their new digs. They got to watch some flicks and then they had a scavenger hunt through the White House to get them used to the place. And get this, at the end of the hunt, they open up a door and the fucking JONAS BROTHERS are there! I'm sorry, that would be exciting for me and I'm 27. If I were a tween girl, between the HSM3 and real life Jonas Brothers I think my head would literally explode.
I've tried to come up with an equivalent ridiculous experience for myself. So far this is what I got. I'm thinking, I get to go to the premiere of the Arrested Development movie and then I go on a scavenger hunt which ends with me finding Jake Gyllenhaal naked in my bed. Yeah, that should work. Mmmm...
Ok lets face it, a lot less would make my head explode. I recently found out that Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost) has a house in my aunt and uncle development in Lutherville.
So I could go see Benjamin Button and then see Locke grocery shopping at Grauls and that would be enough to make my head explode. And he's not even hot. Although I am reminded of 2 things. 1) I need to remind ppl not to talk to me about the Lost season premiere until I've watched it on my TiVo and 2) I should watch the Cutting Edge after I watch my Lost eps - seeing Locke as a dude with hair AND enough money to buy his prissy daughter her own ice rink is amusing to me.
