Sorting and the Super Bowl

Had you arrived at Chez Warden at 10 o'clock this evening you would have found me and D up to our ears in clothes and mess. We were tidying out our wardrobe and sorting things out. Were you to knock on our door right now you would find two slightly sleepy Wardens eating Kettle Chips and watching the warm up (sorry, "pre kick show") for the Super Bowl. Shout out to our American friends! Man, we love you guys! We are going for the Packers tonight, I think. Not sure if we'll stay up for the whole thing. I have, after all, got meetings and teachings tomorrow. D might tough it out though. American football is a sport I have never understood. However, we avidly watched the Washington Huskies win their big game and D talked me through it. As a massive Rugby League fan, American football comes more naturally than I imagined.

Our friends Stateside would laugh at the BBC's coverage though. Obviously the Beeb doesn't do advertising. The Super Bowl seems to break for adverts every other minute and the 'guys in the studio' have to chat inanely while you guys get to watch promos for Doritos or Hot Dogs or Hershey's or something. They're doing alright at the mo but give them another couple of hours and they will surely run out of things to say!

Anyways, enjoy the night and I'll post again mid week.

p.s. oh, and by the by I have changed the web address for the blog. While you can still access it via molemaison.blogspot.com, you can also use www.clairewarden.net. How cool!

  1. Fantastic! Did you know that Superbowl commercials (adverts) are actually as important as the game itself? This was, at least, the case about 10 years ago when people could actually make good commercials. Now they are all dumb, so I might actually prefer the BBC coverage.

  2. Hey Will,
    Yey, go Packers! We stayed up until the Black Eyed Peas left the stage. Re the adverts, the occasional promo crept through the BBC firewall. We enjoyed the fact that you could vote for the best advert on the Fox website. That's so funny! Hope you and Joanne are doing great.
