Monday update
Feb. 6th, 2006 10:12 amSuperbowl: Damned fine game, marred slightly by some dubious calls and by the Seahawks not showing up for parts of the game (and turning the clock management over to Herm Edwards, apparently). Commercials weren't nearly as good. Some outright blew. The magic wall beer commercial was cute (although I couldn't tell you what beer it was for), and a few others were fun (Stunt City comes to mind), but some were wretched (Jessica Simpson's Pizza Hut commercial, the very existence of a preview for the new Shaggy Dog movie, made worse by adding Chris Berman's voice overs to Tim Allen's complete and total lack of comedic talent, the use of Kermit in a half-assed car ad, etc).
KOL: I've ascended, finally. Going at it as a pathless Sauceror this time.
Other weekend TV: This week's episode of The Batman featured both Patton Oswalt and Patrick Warburton. Woohoo! And a good Ghost in the Shell: SAC. Not much else -- rerun city, for the most part.
Reading: Shadows Over Baker Street.. Highly recommended anthology combining Holmes and his crew with the Lovecraftian Mythos. It includes works by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala, deep_bluze, Barbara Hambly, Simon Clark, and some newcomer named Neil Gaiman, who pulled off a Hugo Award for his tale.
More on the Muslim/cartoon bruhaha: An archive of images of Muhammed throughout history, many of which have caused no riots at all (in spite of the fact that at least a few of them are more overtly and deliberately offensive than the ones published in the Danish paper).
Finally, for the chocoholics out there (as in, almost all of you), the latest issue of Saveur (which I already talked about earlier this weekend in the context of hamburger documentaries) mentioned these. Yes, roasted cocoa beans covered in layers of white, dark, and milk chocolate and then rolled in cocoa powder. Anyone who buys me a bag of these will be my best friend for all time.
