I love the fact Beyonce has turned down the mic on the other destiny's child girls and is throwing them shade even tho this is actually making her show all 3 of them together... hahaha ( im a bit of a lurker..Hi :-) )
Seriously the only moment I enjoyed was my brief trip down memory lane with destinys child. Otherwise bull cocky. Atleast she sang live :) right guys! Right?!
Well, the highlight for me so far was the Taco Bell commercial with all the senior citizen peeps and the Fun song. And, I am quite intrigued that two brothers are coaching each of the teams. Their parents must be on an emotional rollercoaster.
Lola- for sure she and JT turned the shit out that year. I watched live and couldn't believe my eyes!! That was less harsh then that fucking broke girls ad, that was gross.
Not watching. I am disgusted with the part of American culture that thinks men who run and throw balls are worthy of respect and millions of dollars a year, but public school teachers can't get a respectable salary and professional consideration despite teaching millions of American children every day (and as a Kindergarten teacher, I promise I run and catch a lot of things every day.... with no pads)
OMG that was it... i'd rather rewatch the hot mess that was madonna last year, that was more entertaining... hehehe
I can't believe all that hype over that crap show.. its 1.30am in the UK not that i stayed up for this ( feeding my little one) but if i did i would be disappointed.
Best bit Destiny's child. thats it.
Beyonce "preformed" better while "pregnant" at Glastonbury and we all know she lip synced then ;-) used to love her now i kinda feel sorry for her
Ok, I am no Beyonce fan at all. But bitch can sing, she looked fabulous, and she can dance. Ugh, I can't believe I stuck up for that fake trick. Blerg.
Half Time was awful........I know tomorrow they will be running each second of the tape to see what she did and din't do but the music wasn't good.... But I would love those spandex sheer hose...
Madona hammered the last nail in her coffin last year with that crap. She was aweful. Beyonce has got pipes and she can belt it out. This was not that great.
Smash, I suspect (but don't know for sure) that there are ads that are guaranteed to be shown and then there are, "we'll try to get you on" ads...with ad time costing somewhat less.
I was pretty impressed with the halftime show, not with this power outage though, wtf NOLA?
BUT I did see Beyonce in person! Welll kind of. We saw her through the one window with no drapes closed in the house she was staying in. This was after we drove by several times trying to catch a glimpse, no sighting of Blue Ivy though :(
Will @WillyFerrell *Kanye walks in and turns off the lights* "I'm sorry Baltimore, Ima let you finish but BEYONCE had the best performance of all time!"
Hee, now they're saying it was due to a failure of an "outside power feed." And I'm just imaging that desperate Niner fan skulking away with a giant pair of wire cutters.
Beyonce was good. Not the best halftime but whatevs. I enjoyed the Destiny's Child reunion and whoever believed Michelle before when she LIED that there would be no reunion, you got Rick Rolled!
Please fix the lights already, this is getting ridiculous.
I didn't really have time to watch today. I taped it though so I can watch the parts I want to. My self-and-family-imposed holidays are pretty much over, so I have to get back to work .... I'm really looking forward to the Puppy and Kitten parts.
Laura, blurry! I was a little surprised that there weren't a bunch of other cars doing the same thing, but the house is in Old Metairie and I think a lot of people assumed she was staying downtown. Our friends we stayed with lived a few houses down on Iona so we didn't look toooo stalkerish with all the drive by's.
Best part of half time was Destiny's Child. Too bad their mics were turned down. Bey's ass shaking and hair flipping got old fast. What a slutfest. Wanted more singing and less pole dancing lap dancing moves.
My highlights were 1) the commercial with the goat eating Doritos, and 2) the B-more defensive player who did a dance much like Beyonce when he sacked Kaepernick.
Poor Laura! Don't cry! Whenever I am sick and cry I get a massive headache.
Whenever one of us go out of town we hide from the dogs in the yard. When they find us it is the most beautiful display of joy and happiness. That's what it reminded me of. Then I cried again!
Thanks Smash, I was not prepared to cry at the Superbowl commercials! And now they are playing the God made a farmer one. It is amazing the connection we can have with our animals.
@greenmountaingal said: Anyone want to gossip about anything other than the game? Whatever is your fancy.
That Calvin Klein commercial was spectacular. Okay, so inside scoop gossip coming up…
@B. Profane said: I like the conceit of the Calvin Klein ad: 99% of the guys watching the game don't have the body to wear that underwear.
B. Profane! I’m interested in a later post or context to talk about your info on Los Angeles/North Korea etc. (wondering if there are good websites whatever to check – seriously wondering if I should spend more time in my house 60 miles outside of L.A. instead of my one in the TMZ).
So, in general “Hi” to everyone, I’ve been reading/lurking a long time – but only just started posting. I’ve been in “The Business” in multiple capacities my entire life (since a kid). I’ve been “above the line” and “below the line” on several levels. I’ll probably share more as time goes on…
But as an ex-male model (not that exciting or glamorous); but also more recently behind camera on lots of photography shoots… CK totally “enhances” 95% of their male models if you catch my drift. Totally not really what it is really. I think the idea to them is that they are just selling “sex” – so I’m not sure if their market is to women? Or gay men? Or guys who think that underwear will make them look better? None of those guys are packing as much as CK makes them appear to be.
Just for a correlation/inside scoop – if it’s underwear that is sold at J.C. Penny’s, or Sears, or something that is supposed to just be “normal guy” underwear – they actually choose models who don’t have a lot to show down there. They want “small” – because they don’t want to “offend” (in their words) Middle America. So they choose those guys, or make them “tuck it” slightly, to not be overtly sexual in any way. So they have a completely opposite viewpoint on their pictures and advertisements.
I know – TMI perhaps – but that’s how it works on sets. http://i46.tinypic.com/30shpc4.jpg
Hi @ Xander Dyle, and thanks for coming out of the lurker closet. That does make sense in regards to the underwear modeling. Catalog models tend to be more "average" than the fashion models, anyway, right? Or is that just how they are photographed?
Hi.@kellylynn Sorry I am trying to read and post on my kindle now which takes forever. it is definitely on purpose. catalog models they do not want people to focus or be offended on too.much sexuality. Small is a bonus for those models to get booked. Ck and more fashion underwear they choose the.model for body fist, face second, then enhance.the package for selling the subconscious sec of it all. Cant update typo here it is supposed to.read body first
@smash Thanks. I will check that out. Mostly interested in what B. Profane was talking about earlier this week - so hopefully some of that info will be on there.
The Niners are coming back! One touch down away! If Bewolf was the reason for the power outage, bless her entension headed soul! She gave my Niners the time they needed to come back. A replayed field goal? Unheard of! The Niners got one.
Ahh thanks guys, I'm in this for the commercials so I have no clue about any sports lingo, other than the obvious touchdown, first down, timeout, etc.
Hey there Xander, how disappointing about the enhacement! But I guess we can't have our cake and eat it too :/ I look forward to your insider stories, as I do with all our in the know readers. It's nice hearing actual experiences instead of relying solely on the blinds for for info.
Thanks Lola!!!! Very interesting. We always talk about amazon and I agree they have a very niche market. Apple is used widely throughout the world. Everyone wishes they could have an apple product, I would love a new Mac book, even though I have a kick ass PC having a Mac is so much easier with my iPhone syncing. My bf thinks apples stock is high priced and that is what scares people into selling, it will always climb back. He thinks they need to do a stock split and lower the price. I think even if you did that it would climb again about the 200 mark. Sorry for my very off topic rant.
I think conventional wisdom is that there is no reason that a stock split should generally heighten overall stock value since even if a lower share price brings in more small investors and makes the price bump up substantially, it is likely to be offset by a selloff by a large investor. Apple might be an exception in that regard since Apple buyers often have an emotional investment in the company that they don't have with other companies.
But that is my total armchair quarterbacking analysis since my investment knowledge is purely amateur.
Jsierra,Sunny, et al. Just got home from.Blanc Debris and traffic was excellent! The Opster just made a beer run and commented on how the game must now be over because there was no traffic when he walked across the street and now there is gridlock. I sumise from the last score we heard that the Ravens won? Sad day (eve) here in the bay area. I know there are a lot of posters here from my hood so to speak. Sorry kids.
Oh jeez, mow the sirens start. WTH. That happens when you live in the city. Miss the quier of the country already.
@Sherry Sorry, lady. I actually wanted the 49ers to come back (Sorry Dia!), so I was a little bummed. Off to get the kiddos in bed, but I wanted to say goodnight :)
Sherry indeed, the Ravens have proved victorious. But IMO you guys won the battle of locale if that makes it any better! No offense Baltimore. Enjoy your beer though, I am trying this weird new thing sobriety so drink up for me!
And Walking Dead marathon, season 1 episode 2 is on right now. I almost had a shit fit earlier when I thought the new episode was tonight and I had missed it.
Local. We had a Sonic ad in TX.
ReplyDeleteHow weird, the clams buying a Super Bowl ad, if only a local (Bay Area) one.
ReplyDeleteTuned in just in time to see Jones pull that move. Holy cow!
ReplyDeleteFunny. That play was a big fail.
ReplyDeleteOoooooo
ReplyDeleteThe aspect ratio must be off on my TV. All the halftime promos make Beyonce look fat.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha. Not thats just her look.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSAW MY FAST and FURIOUS trailer. I can die happy now.
ReplyDeleteMy cable keeps breaking up.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think about re the dome is The Simpsons Movie. Maybe everyone hasn't seen that movie as many times as I have!
ReplyDeleteI JUST WON TWO HUNDIES IN THE BETTIN POOL!!!! This game rules!
ReplyDeleteWell she clearly isn't lip syncing now. Gawd, she bugs me.
ReplyDeleteShe has oohh and awweed danced and yelled. Not sang!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt must be really hard to dance like that and sing live...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteObnoxious as fucking hell. She really didn't siiiiinng anything!
ReplyDeleteThat is my go-to comfort movie! Love it!
ReplyDeleteShe isn't even singing! Just grunting.
ReplyDeleteShe is talk singing now. With a heavy backing track.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of shit song is this?
ReplyDeleteThe former graduate lighting design student in me is agog at the cost of all that lighting!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with those ugly angle boot heels? They are so ugly. Bewolf looks like she raided Vanity's closet.
ReplyDeleteB- that have to have something that distracts from the actual shit proformance going on.
ReplyDeleteNo clam ad in OK either.
ReplyDelete@BProfane - ILLUMINATI.
ReplyDeleteActually excited now!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteIlluminati symbol she just threw up
ReplyDeleteWrong. Still shitty.
ReplyDeleteDestiny's Child! Brings me back!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact Beyonce has turned down the mic on the other destiny's child girls and is throwing them shade even tho this is actually making her show all 3 of them together... hahaha
ReplyDelete( im a bit of a lurker..Hi :-) )
Just was about to say the same thing! Their mics are half as loud as hers!
Deletethat is the worst halftime show ever
ReplyDeleteSing bitch. You are just my backup huntie.
ReplyDeleteLol they shot Kelly and Michelle up like a rocket
ReplyDeleteShe is POSSESED.
ReplyDeleteSorry, whenever she does "Single Ladies" all I can think of is the SNL spoof of that song.
ReplyDeleteOh look! It's the Supremes! Oh wait, Destiny's Child.
ReplyDeleteTHAT was the reunion? The fuck?
ReplyDeleteLets see...
ReplyDeleteThis is just reminding me that so many Beyonce songs suck, and that Destiny's Child was fabulous.
ReplyDeletei'd be more impressed if she gave birth on stage to Pillow Baby
ReplyDeleteShe totally should have kept Kelly and Michele out there.
ReplyDeleteWe get it. You are live, just sing the fucking song and stop being over the top.
ReplyDeleteHalo was the best part
ReplyDeleteB, all I can think of is the Jonas Brothers spoof.
ReplyDeleteLol to whoever said she raided Vanity's closet. That's all I can think about when I look at her now.
ReplyDeleteSeriously the only moment I enjoyed was my brief trip down memory lane with destinys child. Otherwise bull cocky. Atleast she sang live :) right guys! Right?!
ReplyDeleteI guess when you can't lip synch as planned you go ahead with a Destiny's Child reunion?
ReplyDeleteI dont get what people see in beyonce. She just meh.
ReplyDeleteNice background track Bey.
ReplyDeleteAuntliddy- she has a large booming voice and it can be pretty. But she has just dog gone went to damn far.
ReplyDeleteThis Jeep ad is making me cry!
ReplyDeleteThat performance was almost as good as her pregnancy act.
ReplyDeleteLol, Rick that's what I was wondering...did she only give in after the lip synching debacle?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI dont get the fuss over beyonce, i really dont. Shes just meh.
ReplyDeleteThat Jeep ad was really, really moving.
ReplyDeleteFsp- Great AVI as usu. (short for usual) and pitch perfect comment.
ReplyDeleteBeyonce was MEH....
ReplyDeletebut it IS definitely hard to song and dance.
Ugh, I wish she would've lip synced now. That sorta blew. The two seconds of Destiny's Child was the best part.
ReplyDeleteThat sucked. Seriously. And was that pre taped? So they "filmed" her but videotaped the actual football game? Hated it.
ReplyDeleteWTF, was that commercial? (2 Broke Girls)
ReplyDeleteWell, the highlight for me so far was the Taco Bell commercial with all the senior citizen peeps and the Fun song. And, I am quite intrigued that two brothers are coaching each of the teams. Their parents must be on an emotional rollercoaster.
ReplyDeleteWow. And we are not showing our youth some over sexualized shit. Jeesh.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Two Broke Girls promo much better than I liked the halftime show.
ReplyDeleteAs a Houston girl, I freaking loved the Destiny's Child reunion. Overall, though, I was wholly underwhelmed by the halftime show.
ReplyDeleteAs an Eagles fan, I have to say, "Go Eagles," and "Eagles Suck!"
ReplyDeleteAnd, I liked the Audi commercial the best of the first half, although I watch commercials with the sound off.
Kat Dennings' cleavage...oh my.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to bash her because I couldn't do all that. She's a performer. Now back to the game.
ReplyDeleteI would've rather seen Janet's nipple.
ReplyDeleteBuck Naked. I have always loved that saying.
ReplyDeleteLola- for sure she and JT turned the shit out that year. I watched live and couldn't believe my eyes!! That was less harsh then that fucking broke girls ad, that was gross.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch Two Broke Girls. Is there a reason the brunette wears that ugly lipstick all the time? It is horrible!
ReplyDeletePuggle- I never saw her appeal other then large boobies. She must spend lots of time on the casting couch.
ReplyDeleteNot watching. I am disgusted with the part of American culture that thinks men who run and throw balls are worthy of respect and millions of dollars a year, but public school teachers can't get a respectable salary and professional consideration despite teaching millions of American children every day (and as a Kindergarten teacher, I promise I run and catch a lot of things every day.... with no pads)
ReplyDeleteOMG that was it... i'd rather rewatch the hot mess that was madonna last year, that was more entertaining... hehehe

Beyonce "preformed" better while "pregnant" at Glastonbury and we all know she lip synced then ;-) used to love her now i kinda feel sorry for her
Double oops....
ReplyDeleteWow! Right out of the gate in 11 seconds!
ReplyDeleteBack near the end of the first half when y'all were commenting as to whether ads were local or not here in LA we had a $cientology ad!!
ReplyDeleteI watched Autie Mame on TCM earlier, it just ended...that movie rocks. Love it every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time favorite movies!
DeleteOk, I am no Beyonce fan at all. But bitch can sing, she looked fabulous, and she can dance. Ugh, I can't believe I stuck up for that fake trick. Blerg.
ReplyDeleteWay to return a kick and make a record to boot!
ReplyDeleteHalftime show I would rate a B-....pretty 'eh...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a band like the Foo Fighters have the opportunity to do the halftime show, I think they would kill it.
Beyonce was better than The Who, but that ain't saying much.
ReplyDeletebeyonce: fake hair, fake singing, fake pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteSmash,both of them are AMAZING performers. Together they were awesome. That and the U2 halftime (2002?) were a couple of my favorites.
ReplyDeletemango. no spoilers for me for the Abby:)
ReplyDelete@ Agent - I wouldn't dream of it!
No lights!
ReplyDeleteIf Jones doesn't get MVP, I will blame the Illuminati.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the scanning the dark side? Did the lights go out or something?
Desperate Niner fan trips the lighting breakers at the Superdome....
ReplyDeleteSomebody n trouble!!
ReplyDeleteU2 halftime was my all-time favorite. I love them beyond reason.
ReplyDeleteDid the lights go out? That's what it looks like on our tv.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha@B Profane!
ReplyDelete"Players are milling around..."
Cut to a Subway commercial about their 11" longs.
@kgirl, power went on half the dome.
ReplyDeleteColor this Saints fan not surprised.
Half Time was awful........I know tomorrow they will be running each second of the tape to see what she did and din't do but the music wasn't good....
ReplyDeleteBut I would love those spandex sheer hose...
ruh roh
ReplyDeletei blame the Kelly and Michelle for power outage - you know what you did girls - you outshone Beyowolf and she THREW you into the electrical panel
ReplyDeleteMadona hammered the last nail in her coffin last year with that crap. She was aweful. Beyonce has got pipes and she can belt it out. This was not that great.
ReplyDeleteAll of the light all of the lights.... Kayne did some amazing things with his short film for dark fantasy. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteEver go to one of Bud's balls?
ReplyDelete@prolixe, I do to.
ReplyDeleteI want to start a bring back Janet campaign. She was wicked hot in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! The extended Ironman 3 trailer.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.facebook.com/ironman
So now they pull out every commercial that didn't actually pay for a spot?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if all Of Bey's lights had something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThink of how much extra money CBS is gonna make in ad revenue from the delay.
ReplyDelete@smash, I thought it was good too. As much as a doofus I think Kanye can be, he does some cool stuff, and a pretty good live show.
ReplyDeleteAmerica: we can put on huge spectacles, yet we can't keep the lights on. How embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteSmash, I suspect (but don't know for sure) that there are ads that are guaranteed to be shown and then there are, "we'll try to get you on" ads...with ad time costing somewhat less.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty impressed with the halftime show, not with this power outage though, wtf NOLA?
ReplyDeleteBUT I did see Beyonce in person! Welll kind of. We saw her through the one window with no drapes closed in the house she was staying in. This was after we drove by several times trying to catch a glimpse, no sighting of Blue Ivy though :(
I just got a picture in my mind of you driving around stalking Bey!! How did she look?
DeleteSmash, I blame Bey and her stupid lights. No one can tell me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBEYONCE WAS AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteAccording to Clark Griswold, he was just testing his 2013 Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteI guess we're over the Super Bowl brouhaha. We're on Animation Domination now.
ReplyDeleteFsp- maybe they didn't check ALL the light bulbs.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby just said everyone is going to blame B for the power outage. He doesn't do blogs at all but I laughed because he's probably so right.
ReplyDeleteand anyone who says any different was not watching the same show!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteThe CBS color guys are already blaming Beyonce for the power failure.
ReplyDeleteI love anything blamed on Beyonce. I guess I'm mean.
ReplyDeletePower outage countdown clock! Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI came to the blog for it. HI everyone!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Will Ferrell tweet:
ReplyDeleteWill @WillyFerrell
*Kanye walks in and turns off the lights* "I'm sorry Baltimore, Ima let you finish but BEYONCE had the best performance of all time!"
Hee, now they're saying it was due to a failure of an "outside power feed." And I'm just imaging that desperate Niner fan skulking away with a giant pair of wire cutters.
ReplyDeleteThis crap is eating up my DVR.
ReplyDeleteBeyonce was good. Not the best halftime but whatevs. I enjoyed the Destiny's Child reunion and whoever believed Michelle before when she LIED that there would be no reunion, you got Rick Rolled!
ReplyDeletePlease fix the lights already, this is getting ridiculous.
I didn't really have time to watch today. I taped it though so I can watch the parts I want to. My self-and-family-imposed holidays are pretty much over, so I have to get back to work .... I'm really looking forward to the Puppy and Kitten parts.
ReplyDeleteAhh, it worked!
ReplyDeleteLaura, blurry! I was a little surprised that there weren't a bunch of other cars doing the same thing, but the house is in Old Metairie and I think a lot of people assumed she was staying downtown. Our friends we stayed with lived a few houses down on Iona so we didn't look toooo stalkerish with all the drive by's.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone translate that? Lol
ReplyDeleteB.Profane the CBS color guys? Color me confused
ReplyDelete@jSierra the color guys give color commentary, or behind the scenes player information.
DeleteBest part of half time was Destiny's Child. Too bad their mics were turned down. Bey's ass shaking and hair flipping got old fast. What a slutfest. Wanted more singing and less pole dancing lap dancing moves.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they always use dobermans to look viscous. I have a big red male dobe with his head on my lap. Fuck bud light.
ReplyDeleteClam ad was a national one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite commercial was the M&M's. I love a good ballad.
ReplyDelete@JSierra, color guys are the sports commentary guys.
ReplyDeleteUse the laces. Haha. They couldn't say laces out like I am sure they would have liked to.
ReplyDeleteThe pistachio commercial is disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the clam ad?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else have the Sciento ad?
My favorite commercials have been the Taco Bell, Jeep and the VW commercials have been my favorites so far.
ReplyDeleteThat T shirt commercial with the guy doing the walk of shame was pretty funny too.
Thank You. Preach.
ReplyDeleteWtf was that weak punt?
ReplyDeleteNow we've got a game!
ReplyDeleteIf the 9ers come back to win, we will have to hear for weeks about the effect of the power outage and how it wasn't fair.
My highlights were 1) the commercial with the goat eating Doritos, and 2) the B-more defensive player who did a dance much like Beyonce when he sacked Kaepernick.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite commercial.
ReplyDeleteTears! Actual tears! I love horses. :)
ReplyDeleteThat Bud Clydesdale commercial just made me cry too! I'm such a sap, I also have the flu so I dont need any extra fluids.
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched that this afternoon, I cried like a baby.
ReplyDeleteWTF, Ravens?
ReplyDeleteClydesdale commercial got me.
ReplyDeletePoor Laura! Don't cry! Whenever I am sick and cry I get a massive headache.
ReplyDeleteWhenever one of us go out of town we hide from the dogs in the yard. When they find us it is the most beautiful display of joy and happiness. That's what it reminded me of. Then I cried again!
Thanks Smash, I was not prepared to cry at the Superbowl commercials! And now they are playing the God made a farmer one. It is amazing the connection we can have with our animals.
DeleteKickers have nice butts. It's almost a universal.

ReplyDeleteIs anything good on TV tonight? Girls is being DVR'd but I couldn't think of anything else.
ReplyDeletePlease no Downtown Abbey suggestions, I am not quite ready for that relationship yet.
I took the Ravens too. After they beat my beloved Broncos and then blistered the Patriots, I knew they were gonna kick ass.
ReplyDeleteNice! Go 49s!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the 9ers didn't get the conversion. The Ravens are killing me softly right now.
ReplyDeleteNiners! I feel it! This team lives for this stuff. It kills me, but works for them.
ReplyDeleteLaura- I saw this meme "I didn't want to have kids to I got my girlfriend two dogs". Truth. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww the Clydesdale commercial touched my heart. Best commercial ever.
ReplyDeleteLove Benz.
ReplyDeleteI think the 49s really are making a good come back.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone watched Person of Interest? Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteB- what do you think of Apples stock price? For a company with so much income why is their stock taking a hit?
ReplyDeleteSmash, I'm obvs not B but I just read this earlier today...interesting view on why Apple's stock is suffering while Amazon's is thriving.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/02/why-amazon-is-special-and-apple-is-not-in-1-paragraph/272791/

ReplyDeleteAnd that's how we do it! Yea, Ravens!
ReplyDeleteIt was one if the better SB games! So close and when the brothers met up, that must be tough.
ReplyDeleteShivakamini Somakandarkram!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I never see/hear that GoDaddy commercial again, it would be a blessing.

Apple might be an exception in that regard since Apple buyers often have an emotional investment in the company that they don't have with other companies.
ReplyDeleteBut that is my total armchair quarterbacking analysis since my investment knowledge is purely amateur.
Jsierra,Sunny, et al. Just got home from.Blanc Debris and traffic was excellent! The Opster just made a beer run and commented on how the game must now be over because there was no traffic when he walked across the street and now there is gridlock. I sumise from the last score we heard that the Ravens won? Sad day (eve) here in the bay area. I know there are a lot of posters here from my hood so to speak. Sorry kids.
ReplyDeleteOh jeez, mow the sirens start. WTH. That happens when you live in the city. Miss the quier of the country already.
@Sherry
ReplyDeleteSorry, lady. I actually wanted the 49ers to come back (Sorry Dia!), so I was a little bummed. Off to get the kiddos in bed, but I wanted to say goodnight :)
I just Season 1 of Lost Girl on Blu-Ray...I don't watch football unless LSU is playing.
ReplyDeleteI am watching the engagement with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Renolds. It is super cheesy but cute.
ReplyDeleteSherry indeed, the Ravens have proved victorious. But IMO you guys won the battle of locale if that makes it any better! No offense Baltimore. Enjoy your beer though, I am trying this weird new thing sobriety so drink up for me!
ReplyDeleteSmash TLC is running an American Gypsy Wedding marathon if you have never checked out that fine television specimen.
