Woohoo!

I'm not really a big football fan, but I watch the Superbowl every year just for the hell of it and root for the underdog because I like it when the underdog wins. So I had a good night last night on that count, at least. :)

I'm honestly more interested in the ads, and they were a pretty good set this year. The entire party agreed that our collective favorite was the Doritos one with the giant rat -- that got the biggest laugh -- and that we all hated the Salesgenie commercials the most. Racial stereotypes are okay if they're animated! Oh, funny. (Although according to the Time article on the commercials, they were intentionally trying to make the worst Superbowl ads. Which sucks even more because, really, they had to go THERE?)

Bryan and I spazzed out over the Iron Man trailer, though. And then had to explain what it all was to our mom. Heh.

Aaaaaand now we're both going to go see Cloverfield again, because I still want to try seeing the ending on the big screen.

Oh, I almost forgot!

So on the way home from Panera I stopped at Petsmart to see if they had any chinchillas available, which they do, one of which I really want to pick up this week. He's a bit smaller than Elliot and his face is very very dark gray. I think I'm going to name him Dexter. :)

Anyway, while I was there checking out the chins, these three little girls came over to look at the hamsters. One was about ten or twelve, another one was maybe six or seven, and the other one was about two. So there I am, kneeling on the floor and cooing at the chin through the glass, and the middle girl wanders over and goes, "Oh, what's that?" To which I said, "Oh, it's a chinchilla. I have one at home. They're like big hamsters. They're really soft. They make fur coats out of them."

At which point the littlest one wandered over, started pointing at the glass, and saying, "Coots? Coots?"

HEEE. Yes, sweetie, coots. *giggles*

So then I wandered over to look at the reptiles, and the middle one followed me, asking me questions about the skinks and chameleons and frogs and what all the crickets were doing in their aquariums. "... EW." Heh.

And then I had to leave, because if I'd stayed another five minutes I would have bought that chinchilla and a new cage, checking account balance be damned.

My moment of zen

They're making a Greatest American Hero movie. They start filming in July.

Now all they have to do is make a new version of Misfits of Science and my life will be complete. *beams*

EDIT: HA! I kinda want that. Not because I hate Idaho (They make me potatoes! I like potatoes!) but because every time I see something that says, "God bless America," a sarcastic part of my brain thinks, "Yeah, but fuck everybody else on the planet, right?"

Excuse me while I salivate.

I haven't talked about the new Indiana Jones movie yet, mostly because I see a photo or hear about a spoiler from it and think, "That's awesome!" and then promptly forget to talk about it.

But I finally found a spoilery photo for it that made me spazz the fuck out.
