TINA TINA TINA!!! I’m so happy NBC gave her a full half hour special on TV today. Fuck footbal…they should have the Tina Fey bowl 🙂 … I spent the rest of the three hours with the tv off and music blasting as I organized my room. ---

Watched part of Braveheart on video while folding laundry (yippee). ---

Watched movies with my Buglet. Stuart Little 2 and Scooby Doo. Rather enjoyable when my kiddo’s reactions were as entertaining as ever. Dave was out in the living room watching the game, and kiddo and I were in the bedroom. ---

I watched some of **Buffy** , went to Quizno’s, and messed around on the SDMB. It was a good afternoon. ---

DAMN! The game was _TODAY_??? 😃 Actually, I volunteer at the local science museum on most Sunday afternoons - this one of my days. Didn’t get home until just after half-time (west coast time and all) and once I saw the score, I just went back to reading for a while and making dinner. ---

I filled out a grad school application and surfed the Internet. I looked up the watch the commercials, but I ignored the football game and avoided the pre-game and halftime shows like the plague. When I realized Braco was replaying its hugely entertaining _Gay Weddings_, I switched back and forth between that and the game, in the hopes of catching any good commercials ---

homework, #sd chat, and the boards. I called home sometime around half-time (according to my family). Thats about it. Going to bed soon, though. ---

I had a massage at 6pm til about 7:30, then I flipped channels and watched part of LOTR for the 12th time. ---

What is this “Super Bowl” of which you speak? Oh, football…I don’t follow sports, or at least no more than I have to (it’s kind of hard _not_ to hear about sports in the US). I spent the day surfing the net (instead of doing the housework) while my wife caught up the soaps she missed during the week. Then we had the History Channel on - caught part of the Teddy Roosevelt show followed by “XY-Factor” (history of sex), “Mail Call” and “Conquest.” ---

Hard core sports fan reporting: Trading Spaces. (And it was even to watch Paige, the cutie hostess. It was just for the damn decorating nonsense) Kill me now. ---

Watched Bejing Bicycle, a rented movie. Better than the game, anyways. ---

I was checking out this board and other web sites, plus I was busy updating my own site. As for TV, I had it on the Game Show Network for most of the day. ---

SDMB, then off to the grocery, cleaned up around the house. I built a fire and watched my son play Ghost Recon on Xbox Live, then I saw the Simpsons & Adult Swim. ---

My husband and my dad played Monopoly Party on the Xbox throughout most of the game. We watched a bit of it here and there. I just happened to be in the room reading another Robert Ludlum book. Was the Simpsons a new episode? I wasn’t concerned about watching it because I didn’t think they’d be ballsy enough to go up against the game. ---

Hee hee. I watched **“Kung Pow! Enter the Fist!”** on Cinemax. That movie is so friggin’ funny. I even did a spit-take at one point, and there was no one home to tell me what an idiot I am. ---
