Superbowl Commercials

So some of you guys might have heard that Superbowl XLIV (44) was played yesterday. The result was the New Orleans Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts 17. Not the best of results for the team I supported but at least the Saints were led by a fellow alumni, Drew Brees. So GO PURUDE! WOO!

Anyways, since most people don't really know or care about American football, I'm just gonna display the Superbowl commercials that I found most interesting. The Superbowl is probably the most watched TV event in the US and each 30 second ad costs around 2-3 million. So you get some pretty interesting and refreshing ads.

Starting with some gratuitous skin shots, we have Megan Fox selling some Motorola cellphone. I don't know what it is but who cares, it's Megan Fox.


Next up, we have a violin playing gopher beaver. Who doesn't like musically inclined furry animals?


Most of the Superbowl ads are funny, but this Google one was quite poignant and touching.


I am quite excited for the upcoming Avatar:The Last Airbender movie. Even though it's based on a Nickelodeon cartoon, it is still damn cool.


Lastly, this is my favourite commercial. Don't mess with his Doritos nor his Momma!

So it's been awhile

It's been 2 months since my last post and I think it's time I restarted this thing again. I had a rather busy Dec/Jan with work and vacation. So I think I'll just write about a couple of things on my mind this 2010.

First of, Happy New Years to everyone out there. Yes, I know it's really belated but better late than never eh?

Anyways, the other day, some idiot in my complex damaged the apartment garage door and it could not close properly. Management had someone stand guard outside and cross reference everyone who entered with a residents list. How the guard checked my identity was quite interesting to me - He asked me to confirm my unit, which I did, and then he said "Thanks so much Mr Lee". I totally did not get that it was a test and was kinda irritated at him when I responded " No. Tan". Only when he said "Thanks again sir" did I realize I just got juked by the guard. Now I'll look out for instances where people try to trip me up and perhaps I'll use this method to check for consistency from other people in the future as well.

I've been trying to wake up early to exercise so as to try to adhere to previous resolutions but it's proving to be really tough. If I wake up at 6am to workout, I'm a dead man walking by 2pm. I have to adjust my sleeping pattern to accommodate this new plan... But with a new year, there is a new hope. So I'll just keep plugging along.

Well that's enough ramblings from me for now. I have to get ready to sleep to try to follow my workout plan. Wish me luck.
