What a night last night. The only thing that pissed me off was that My stupid VCR didn't tape American Idol. But anyway, on to a great night last night.

First Vocal Jazz Company performed at the Bizou. It was a lot of fun. We all sang 2 solos. I sang Desifinado and Just the Two of Us. During Just the Two of Us some drunk people were like, "SING SEXUAL HEALING!!!" So that was kind of scary but funny at the same time. It was a lot of fun. Then I went home. At midnight, I went to Shilling, and there was a snowball fight. A lot of fun. There were people in front of New Hall 2 throwing at us across the street so we ambushed them. One of those guys threw a huge snowball (it felt like ice) at the side of my head. But I got him back when they ambushed us; he was kneeling down in front of the benches in front of Shilling, and I snuck up behind him and dumped snow on him. So I got him back.

IMEA is today! I leave in about a half an hour. So I'm excited.

Sunday, January 26, 2003

Wow the Super Bowl started early! I thought it was at 7 or something but it's 5 and it's about to start! Dang I have a MVOP meeting. Maybe it was cancelled. No it wasn't. I'll have to tape the part I miss. I'm sure it won't be that long because of the Super Bowl. Well here are my reviews for the commercials. I'm writing them as they air with the exception of the ones I taped. I'll also write stuff about the game. I kind of want the Raiders to win because the Bucs are one of Green Bay's rivals.

NOTE: Now that all the comercials are done, I'm going to rate them 1-10, 10 being best.

Ha the ref screwed up who the home team was :)
The game seems early but it's 3:30 on the west coast so I guess you know.
YEAH CHARLES WOODSON INTERCEPTED IT!
Here we go after the field goal.....

BUDWEISER
OMG The Refereees as jackass!!!! AWESOME START. I love the instant review thing. And the zebra! THAT IS SO CLEVER! Bud commercials are always the best. Great commercial!!!! 10

CHRYSLER
Celine Dion is going to have a bighit SHE"S IN THE CAR!!!!! Not bad but it's just like any other car commercial (only with Celine.) But nice touch. 8

QUIZNOS
I didn't know that this was a big organization! So that's surprising. LOL nice gag with the pants. Otherwise it's kind of stupid. But the pants thing saved it. I guess Subway has some competition now. 6

Bucs fumbled it!!!!!!!!! AGAIN a turnover! Maybe. They are reviewing it. Nope it's not. Very obvious.
Bucs got a field goal tied.

PEPSI TWIST
Ozzy is so funny. We're not the Osbournes, we're the OSMONDS!!! OMG!!! Ozzy's reaction is hiarious! With his mouth open that's sweet! PARTRIDGE FAMILY LOL That is awesome. Best commercial so far. Ozzy alway sounds drunk and you can't understand half the stuff he says! 10

FED EX
Like Cast Away. He gave her the package. LOL WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE! Lol that's funny. You know, what if it was all of that stuff in the package? Great. Would have been greater if it was aired 2 years ago when the movie was out. 9

AT&T
It's just about halftime. whatever. 1

HULK
Woah. Another comic movie. I wonder if I'd like it. Looks almost too comicy for me but who knows? 7

BUD LIGHT
Fridge pull; stoplin the bud light. LOL they keep pulling it. I've seen funnier but clever. However, this looks like one that they will show over and over for about 6 months and I will be sick of it fast. 5

DODGE
Choking; so he speeds up and brakes. Eww gross about the jerky on the windshield. But funny. And as always with dodge, the construction. Creative. 6.5

Still 3-3.

MATRIX
OH MY GOD I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD NEO NEO NEO THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!! OHG MY GOD THAT ACTION SEQUENCE IS AWESOME!!!!! May may may may may november november movember holy crap. 10!

GATERADE
MJ playing against himself that's awesome! And then his college self comes in... I liked it. Really good commercial. Creative. And the blackness with just the court and stuff! Good touch. Reminds me of those old commercials 10 years ago: "Down the ramp, through the window, off the bleachers, nothing but net." 10

ESPN
Ummm... OK. Funny like other sportscenter commercials. But I've seen funnier, like the one where they speak other languages. It was also kind of confusing. 6

OK I have the MVOP meeting. I dare to bet you it won't take too long because of the super bowl.
OK the door was locked and I never got an email from everyone saying it wa cancelled or anything. Oh well. More commercials!

ANGER MANAGEMENT
The judge is the lady from Carman Sandiego. Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler. LOL This looks good. I wouldn't mind seeing it. 8

H&R BLOCK
Willie Nelson. Shaving creem. Smmoothie. This is funny! My face is burning. I wonder what he looks like without a beard? No one knows............ 8

BUD LIGHT
BUD LIGHT IN THE BUTT THAT IS HILARIOUS!~!!!!! LOL SO MANY HIDDEN MEANINGS... THE HOT DOG THING WAS GREAT! 10

VERITAS
ABC show. Enh. I don't know why they are putting these weird shows on Monday. 3

All refs sound the same with that nasally almost with an accent voice.
Darrien Gordon plays for the Raiders now? They must have recently picked him up. Of all the dumb luck. Instead of losing the first week of the playoffs he plays in the super bowl.
OK That's two posessions now without a break after the punt. What's the deal with that? I want to see more commercials!
Intercepted by the Bucs. :( But now maybe a break? Or maybe not because there are only 9 seconds left in the quarter.

VISA
Yao Ming. Yo! Yao! Yo Yao lol! You Yao Yo LOL That's funny! I love these Visa Check commercials. They are always really clever. Yao's first commercial. Not bad! Made me laugh. Any commercial that makes me laugh is awesome. 9

DRUGS
Drug Dealers fighting about a businessman's money. It's kind of freaky. Makes a good point, but it's kind of confusing because how can drug dealers fight about my money? I mean money switches hands and stuff. They could be fighting over $1, but that $1 was owned by 100 people. You know? But it opens your eyes. 6.5

NHL & PRO BOWL
Wow I wouldn't want to run on the beach in all of that gear, especially a hockey uniform. Not even a football uniform but that would be a little more bearable. 4

DQ
OK this has no point. It's just like the other DQ commercials! It's a normal commercial. Dumb. No creativity involved. Maybe it was a local thing but if it was for the super bowl it was the worst commercial so far. And that live your life song is annoying because the commercial is on ALL THE TIME!!! 2

Sort of a slow super bowl so far; another field goal. No td;s no really big plays so far save the interceptions.

BUD LIGHT
That dog must be hot. OMG the dog is on his head that is awesome! YA MON! It's so funny because it looks like dreads, and then the hair growls. Classic bud. 8

DAREDEVIL
This shoud be cool. kevin Smith is in this. I wonder what it is about, though. Should be cool. But it's another superhero movie. They are going to overuse the genre this year, I bet. I bet some are going to come out and jsut suck. 7

MONSTER
A semi plowing through everything. That's cool. But no driver that's funny! And then it runs in the gas station. Funny. Didn't expect it from monster.com, though. 8

AT&T
Halftime again. 1

WHY ARE THEY PLAYING GUNS AND ROSES THAT BAND SUCKS!!!!!! That singer BLEW his voice. It sounds horrible.

SIERRA MIST
Another hot dog. Fire hydrant. LOL that's funny about the hydrant opening when the dog pees. And the line "I gotta get me a dog like that" is awesome. 9

HANES
Jackie Chan! That's funny! I love his faces. Nice addition to that commercial. Jackie Chan is awesome, as is MJ. Second apperance by MJ tonite but a different product. 7

CIGARETTES ARE BAD
Kid playing baseball. Interesting. Talking to your kids about that. Serious commercial. Cigarettes are bad, basically. Funded by Philip morris?!? That's surprising. 6

ALIAS
A show tonight. Haven't been watching the show, though, so I don't really care. Heard it was good, but I prefer the dead zone. The dead zone is a repeat tonight though probably because of the SB. Anyway it's starts out like it's a movie. And she's all hot and stuff, and "DO YOU THINK THESE CLOTHES ARE COMFORTABLE" or whatever is nice, but it didn't hit me as too funny. 3

Picked off again by the Bucs!!! Geez this game is ALL defense. Both offenses are just asleep right now.

SIERRA MIST
This is the one that I voted on. I hope it's the first ending because that one was better. I didn't hear the monkey sing though. Yep it's the first one. Not bad but I have already seen it so it wasn't surprising. 8

TRIDENT
FUNny with the squirrel. With the 5th dentist. That squirrel must work for extra or care*free. But I always wondered about that 1 that didn't recommend it... Creative! 8

BUD LIGHT
Another Bud Light commercial!?!? So many! Like every break! The shell. LOL WITH THE CRAB. And it's stuck to him!!! It's like a big earring taking up half his head. 8

MIRACLES
This looks like a whacked out show. I dont' know if I want to watch it. 1

Everyone is just getting sacked tonite! There is absolutely no offense on either side right now. Warren sapp a cheerleader lol that's kind of scary. Good return maybe a touchdown finally to get this slow game going. Sapp in on offense?! Interesting. Blocking TE. Cool. TD finally. Unfortunately it's the Bucs. But oh well.

BAD BOYS II
Will Smith and AMrtin Lawrence? Cool combo. This should be pretty good. But it's a sequel? Was the first good? I've never seen it. 7

BUDWEISER
Practicing a dump line. Think fresh. Date both of us; what? I didn't think it was very funny. Not Bud's best. Kind of predictable; I knew she was going to react differently that what he thought. Not as strong as others. 6

VISA
A repeat. With both the Barbers. But it's longer. No it's not. It just has different lines! Watching and playing in the super bowl, that's good! So it's NOT a repeat. Well it is and it isn't. Interesting ploy of advertisment. Cheaper and creative. 7.5

DRAGNET
I don't know if this is going to pass since it's a remake of an already well liked show. 1

Raiders finally get more than a 3-and-out. I hope this game is starting to get going a little bit; it's been very uninteresting so far. Both teams defensively are doing pretty well but their offenses have to step it up!
Bucs are now looking much better than the Raiders. Dang. I really don't care but I'd rather the Raiders won. But good for the Bucs they have never gotten this far in the playoffs, let alone win the SB.

T3
Terminator 3. Oh wow the furture! And he's fighting a girl. So it's one Terminator movie like every 10 years. That's a good time break for movies. I haven't seen the first one, though. I would see it. 8

LEVI'S
Buffalo in the big city. Seems weird. It's like the running fo the bulls. They are like destroying everything. And then they run around the people. They run around the two. OK this was kind of a weird commercial. Bold since 2003? But levis started in the 1880s. 5

I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Celebrity? Who is Melissa Rivers? Anyway this should be interesting, whatever it is. 3

I never really watch the halftime show, althought I wish i did last year so I could have seen U2 and that 911 theme thing. I didn't see that because where I was we played GoldenEye during halftime. But I bet Aria is watching halftime and that would be the only part she sees because she loves Shania.

MLIFE
Gilligan's Island. The coast guard on speed dial. Clever but kind of dumb. I never really liked Gilligan's Island. i don't know why. 3

TB another TD. Grr. 20-3. Wow. It's been all TB 2nd half.

Halftime... I wonder if I should watch The SNL thing. I think I shall! 3-327.
SNL AMERICAN IDOL THING WAS AWESOME
Chris Kattan as Gollum that's funny.
Drunk girl was kind of dumb; I don't like that character very much. The Halftime Special Halftime Show was OK
Horatio as Gene Shalot critiquing the SB commercials.
Overall it was OK but not SNL's best.

If there were any commercials between halftime and kickoff I missed them because the show ended late.

BRUCE ALMIGHTY
This movie looks hilarious. Jim Carrey going crazy is awesome. 8

DIET PEPSI
This commercial was interesting; mom in the mosh pit. 6.5

HOTJOBS.COM
Rainbow connection. Not funny, it was more serious. Not like other Yahoo commercials. The hillbilly Yahoooooo song doesn't fit. 5.5

ALIAS
Another ad for the show. 1

Got dinner and missed some more but taped them. and here they are.

BUD LIGHT
in 20 years that's what Sara's going to look like. THE HUGE BUTT!!!!! LOL THAT"S HILARIOUS!! 10

SUBWAY
Jared. OMG A Subway in his house. I don't like Subway. Same dream. He would have a Subway in his house, thoguh. 5

CHARLIE'S ANGELS FULL THROTTLE
Never saw the first one, so don't want to see the 2nd right now. 4

CADILLAC
Starts looking like a detective commercial. Nice effect of the flickering stuff. And that car looks sweet. And the guy, being in the 50s must think this is awesome. Not bad. Ends up in the 90s. Coolness. 6

MRACLES
Again. 1

TB is killing the Raiders 27-3! PICKED OFF AGAIn!!!!!!!! AND A TOUCHDOWN!!! OMG! That is so weird. wow. So now it's 34-3.

ANTI DRUG
Pregnancy test. You think it's the couple. But it's their daughter. Marijuana impairs your judgement. These antidrug commercials always fool you, and when you see that you say "I saw that coming" but you really didn't. 7

THE RECRUIT
This doesn't look too bad. I wouldn't mind seeing it. 7

GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL
Looks like a feel-good commercial. I grill with George. Wow. Interesting. Kind of dumb though, kind of predictable. 4

AMERICA'S SEXIEST PEOPLE
America's society is becoming so sexual and it makes me sick. 0

REEBOK
BREAK WAS OVER 15 MINUTES AGO!!!! He's throwing everyone around!! LOL that is SOOO HILARIOUS! One of the best of the night. Solitare and he gets pounded. Terry Tate; office linebacker. I love it. 10

BUD LIGHT
Freaked out. Third Arm. Not bad. Clever as usual. Waiter! and then his motions! hehehe. 7.5

A Buccaneer is down. I've never seen an injury during the SB.
Raiders finally scored. Went for 2 and failed. 34-9.

ALL STAR GAMES
Repeat. 4

HONDA ACCORD
Just a boring car commercial. Normal. When it gets down to the 4th quarter, they stop playing good commercials and start repeats and old ones. WHY? 2

SBC
Repeat from regular commercials. Grr. 1

DODGE POWER DAYS
OK Come on where are the good ones? You should show those throughout the game, not end them! And I hate these DAYS commercials. Ford Truck Days. Chevy Car Days. And then they play some song that gets annoying after about the 10th time they show the commercial, yet they show the commercial about 1,000 times. 0

SBC
Again! Another one! 1

I think at the beginning of the 4th, I'm pretty sure about the outcome. OAKLAND BLOCKED THE PUNT AND GOT A TD!!!!! Wow just when things looked over for the Raiders and now this. If this momentum keeps up we could have a close game here! Going for two and failed. But they are closer, at least.

BUDWEISER
We just don't go together, the guy is just staring there. Football commentator for the girl. You are such a great listener. Good one. Not as good as others, though. 7

ESPN
It might turn around for the Lions. Faithful to the losing teams. Cubs, Red Sox, Lions, etc. Seen them but not as one commercial. People definately have faith in their teams. 5

CADILLAC
Curvy Road. Caddy. Tunnel. LOL Resistance is futile. The writer must have liked Star Trek. I liked the backdraft of leaves. 6

ALIAS
Yet another plug. 1

I wonder if Oakland can keep this up. Now the offsides and a DUMB pass interference penalty gets Tampa back in the red zone. Grr...

SONY
I saw this one already. It's cool, though. That would be cool when you retire. 8

AT&T
Antique stuff. Once called a telephone. LOL this is intersting. Diddly Squot. lol. Not bad. I like it. I wonder if like 50 years from now they will doing stuff like that in history classes. 7.5

JIMMY KIMMEL
Interesting. ABC's first late show. 3

Oakland's got to POUND. Grammatica flubbed the snap or whatever, so Oakland was spared.

BUDWEISER
At a bar. Designated Driver. I"M DOING FINE!!!! THE GUY FROM LAST YEAR!!!!! LOL!!! 10

MASTERCARD
Dinner, movie.... What's with the presidents? Ice Cream. Cash at home!!! Wow. Clever. 9

AOL BROADBAND
You can see the commercials after the game! 3.5

8 SIMPLE RULES/ACCORDING TO JIM
Three's company again. A farting doll. Just what every little girl wants? 1.5

Jerry Rice.... TD!!!! Wow. The Raiders may get this thing!

MYFICO.COM
Home Family Life.... Lenders loans; Regular commercial; just boring. 1.

OSBOURNES DVD
Osbournes lol Ozzy always sounds drunk. It's funny. Never saw the show, though. 4.5

DRAGNET
Again. 1

The challenge was dumb but the official said it was not forced out and it was but you couldn't challenge that it was a force out. It's 34-21 now so Oakland may do it! The game is getting good. So all they need is 2 more TD's it can happen. Two minute warning.

MICHELOB
Guy running. Swat. Resolution; satify nothing. Michelob!?!? I thougth it was Bud. Maybe it's owned by Bud. It said Anheiser Busch. Kind of dumb to relate working out and beer, if you ask me. 3

TENNIS
Again. November I can't get over that they are advertising November. 1

Intercepted again for a TD. So it's pretty much over now. They are celebrating. And yet another Interception. And another TD. 48-21. Wow. SECURITY IS PUSHING THE CROWD BACK LOL. A line of yellow.

BUD LIGHT
Breath and release Yoga. LOL. The two guys. Great way to close the game!!!!!! 10

HANES
Repeat with Jackie Chan. 7

LAMISIL AT
Athletes Foot. 1 week. Ok. Cool. Just a normal commercial. 3

MONSTER.COm
Repeat with the semi. 7

MY WIFE AND KIDS/GEORGE LOPEZ
CHildren are the future comedy tv plug blah blah blah 2

PRIMETIME
Lisa Marie and Diane Sawyer. Ummmm, I don't really even like Elvis. I know that's a shocker. 1

DQ
OK I think the commercials are over. 1

That's the end of the commercials, I believe. Hope you enjoyed. Overall, it was an OK year for commercials. Only a couple really stood out for me.

Saturday, January 25, 2003

OK so I had a good night tonite... I went to the Red Couch because IV was having an open mic night and it was good but I had to leave after about an hour because it was really smoky in there. The main reason I'm still up is that anytime Garrett is gone I take advantage of staying up late. I never get to do that when Garrett is here because Garrett goes to bed a midnight every night. But yeah anyway.

I don't like my intro to american ed class. It is so boring so far. I wish that the music education program had some sort of organization. I mean how are we supposed to be organized as music teachers if we don't have organized teaching?

Bobby if you are reading this my head is leaning to the side :)

Wednesday, January 22, 2003

GOD it's cold outside! It's like 10 and it's windy. Wind chill advisory. Wind chills are supposed to be down to 25 below. I wanted to go to Kroger but it's too cold. I mean most of my body remains warm but my legs are another story.

Friday, January 17, 2003

I'm mad at the bookstore and at Millikin. At Intro to American Ed I find out I need to get a cdrom and that it costs $85. EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR A CD ROM. AND I CAN'T EVEN RETURN IT! JUST FOR ONE SEMESTER. I THINK THAT IS A LOAD OF CRAP. EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR A CD. And I need to get another book for 20th century. This is so stupid. Why does everything have to be so expensive? They know we are in college and virtually none of us college kids can afford stuff so expensive. Grrr.....

Monday, January 13, 2003

I was right in the last post but I didn't realize it would be this late! Oh well. I had a good break but it seemed too short and Christmas was missing something... I never really got into the mood. I went to the Mall of America and that was cool but I was so tired afterwards and we didn't even hit the anchor stores and I believe we missed an entire wing of the mall! Wow. But I got some clothes from Hollister and Aeropostale (We don't have those stores in Green Bay and Aeropostale isn't even in Appleton) and I got some tea from an awesome store called Teavana. I got one more thing what was it? Hmmm.... I thought I did... Maybe I didn't. There was a cool store where you could embroider your own college on a hooded sweatshirt but it was $65!!!! The bookstore isn't even that much. I worked alot after the new year. I went to Amanda's for her party and that was fun. I saw Chapter 6 :). That was awesome. Umm. I don't know. It seemed so rushed this year and there was no snow and any snow we got melted and stuff... But it was a good break. I'm back now.
