Misc., again

-Well, the Super Bowl wasn't that great. Mostly because the Steelers won, but also because neither team played that well and the officiating was pretty bad. Also - The Rolling Stones just need to stop. Please.

-And the best part of Super Bowl Sunday was really the Animal Planet "Puppy Bowl.". We turned it on during half-time to see the hilarious Kitten Half-Time. Watch the clips, it's so cute your head will explode. And then you'll think - wow, how much time did I just spend watching animals run around in a pen attacking each other?

What also made the Puppy Bowl funny was when they would actually have a ref come on the field and penalize the pups for something. Those of us watching the game had a good time imagining what that young man was thinking about knowing that his acting career had now come to wearing a ref's outfit while kneeling in an animal pen and calling an "unneccesary roughness" penalty on a dog.

-Video: Because I like spending time with Google video, I found this clip to share. It's five minutes long, and it's a clip from Trading Spouses. Safe for work. If you like watching crazy people rant, you'll love this!

-Books: Sometimes I like to tell you guys what books I'm reading. I just finished an excellent book on a horrible topic, "The Rape of Nanking." I'm now getting into "The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Ride and Scandalous Fall of Enron" and a favorite of mine that I've read before, "Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement."

-House-hunting, keep your fingers crossed for us folks - Amy and I put in an offer on a house yesterday. Let's hope it goes well. The same day we saw this home, we also saw some other crapholes that were fantastically horrible. One place had water leaking through a light fixture as we stood there and watched it. Another place had tenants in it who let us in warily, but then 15 minutes later told us they were buying it. Very sketchy. Plus, we didn't want to cross them because they had at least 25-30 photos and posters of mobster movies up around the home - including drawings of Al Capone and other notable real-life mobsters. Nice.

I wanted to read "The Rape of Nanking" but I was afraid it would be too depressing and I mostly read in the evening before bed. The author committed suicide not long ago. It was speculated that she was still depressed over that book.

That woman in the video is why people are afraid of Christians. Holy crap!

Those kitten s were freaking adorable. Did you see the one that looked like a baby Kristen with little mitten paws?
