*shakes head*

I'm a T-Mobile customer. I don't care about football. I don't watch the Superbowl, as I couldn't care less about it. So I only learned of the ad with the babies afterwards. So why is equality, tolerance, and inclusivity suddenly 'political'? And why not use the airtime to remind us that we're all human, rather than just to sell a product? Maybe, just maybe, we need that more than we need some new gadget or drink. Kudos to T-Mobile. If you're offended by the ad, you're part of the problem.

It should be of no surprise

that I fell asleep for awhile. Then YKWIA called and we had a great talk for over an hour. So now for a bit of blogging before bed. Here are some stories I've been following:

Standoff in Alabama Ends in Boy’s Rescue and Kidnapper’s Death
FBI: Bombs found in Alabama kidnapper's bunker

Yay! I'm so glad that he's freed. I wish him and his family well. Thank goodness he made it through this, and just in time for his sixth birthday.

Brain infection, not scarlet fever, may have caused Mary Ingalls' blindness

The Real Richard III: 3D reconstruction and linguistic research reveal English king’s face, voice

Astronomers finally crack mystery of solar system’s strange ‘ribbon of energy’

New York Times Revises Ed Koch Obit To Include AIDS

and then there's this--not news, but something that I saw on Facebook, proving the folks at BBCAmerica have a sense of humour:

Speaking of the Superbowl, did you see this?

San Francisco, Baltimore libraries place friendly wager on Super Bowl -- so I guess it'll be Poe that's recited. I do love 'The Raven'. :)

Okay, good night!

For once

I am not up because of foot pain, but rather menstrual cramps. I will be happy in a few years when that is no longer an issue, although of course menopause has its own set of problems.

Anyway, it was good to wake up so I could take my insulin and feed the fish. The plan is to do my monthly libation tomorrow night. I don't think I will have a chance to get wine, so I'll use (olive) oil and honey.

This weekend I need to get some things for a friend (he said something about when does the fish counter at Kroger open when we were talking last weekend), and he'll reimburse me. Then there is the Cthulhu game on Sunday. Notice I did not mention the mega sports event that practically is being discussed wherever I go. I could care less about who wins. I just don't get into football of the American kind, or for that matter any sport with much fanaticism. The only reason I know who's playing is because I've overheard people talking. I find the ads more entertaining, and I can watch them at my leisure online.

Okay, I think I'm ready to go back to bed. Good night!

Badgers! Badgers!

This is a Superbowl ad (something I missed since I don't watch pointy ball, as a friend calls it) from this year that demonstrates the quiet cab of the Toyota Corolla. Enjoy.



I heard about this from Tammy via YKWIA, who searched for it.
