Super Bowl XLI

We usually have Super Bowl parties, but since we moved, we couldn’t have one this year, our place is just too small, and none of our friends had, so Henry and I stayed home and got some pizza from John’s Pizzeria and wings from our local pizzeria (that does not have good pizza). The pizza was expensive, but was better than the two other places we got it from previously. Let’s just say we still have some of those in our freezer.

Anyway, we were rooting for the Colts, not sure why we weren’t rooting for the Bears, but Henry said Colts, so I went with it. I’m glad Peyton Manning won, not that only leaves A-Rod. And yes, Colts won, 29-17. It was surprising they won, playing in the rain, when they are used to playing in a stadium with a dome. But I have no clue what kind of stadium the Bears have. By the way, the Bears quarterback, Rex Grossman sucked. He was absolutely terrible. I feel I’ve understand football now, but I’ll probably forget it by next Super Bowl.

Most of the commercials were blah. Out of all the Budweiser ones we saw, the only one we liked was the one with the slapping on the face. That one was hilarious, we couldn’t stop laughing! The Coke commercials were good too, I loved the spoof of Grand Theft Auto. But I also love Coke and we were drinking Coke while eating our pizza and wings, so I’m a tad bit biased. The Honda commercials were so boring. One of the other auto company’s had a commercial with a robot in it that was kind of cute.

A list of the commercials aired during the Super Bowl can be found at TV Squad.

Celebrity Sighting

I was at Nikki Beach New York last night for a birthday party and the line outside was not long, but the bouncers showed preferential treatment for people with bottle service, so it took awhile to get in. They usually let about four in at a time. After we get in, I go search for the bathroom, I have to go through the packed room where people are dancing on tables. When I get back, Henry tells me that Cliff Crooks from Top Chef. At first Ming and I didn’t believe Henry, so we went closer for a better look and he turned towards us and yup, it was him. He disappeared quickly after that.
