All in all (owl in owl), it was a mighty fine game. I didn’t really have “a team,” but I was mildly favoring the Patriots. Wouldn’t have been terribly bent out of shape if Seattle had won. It was an exciting game. Tied at the half and then all that stuff that happened in the final few minutes. Thrilling. Even my wife, who never watches football ever, stuck with the game to the end.
I also didn’t mind the half-time show. Not Katy Perry’s biggest fan, but she put on a show that pleased the masses. Not enough Lenny Kravitz. Was he really just there to put a male spin on “Kissed a Girl” to placate the homophobes, as some suggest? I’m also not a terribly big fan of rap, but Missy Elliott put on a decent performance. The dancing sharks and beach balls were funny. “Hey, look Ma, I’m on TV!” you can almost hear them saying.
The commercials were all over the map. A few made me chuckle. I liked the Liam Neeson one, and the Brady Bunch one, which I’d already seen. How can a free app game afford to advertise during the Super Bowl? Those in-app purchases must be adding up.
I’m nearing the halfway point of the WIP. Approximately 18,000 words as of this morning. Haven’t hit a wall yet. I hope I don’t end up writing myself into a corner…
