More Commercials than Plays

From beginning to end, the Super Bowl (pre and post game hype) rivals Lord of the RIngs in length of time  . . . . . its long . . . but I watched most of it and actually began to understand some of the plays - saw a spectacular end to end run by one of the Steelers -pretty impressive.  Was able to get through the half time show by Bruce, the American icon, the "everyman".  His performance wasn't as good as I expected it to be - but then he needed to almost scream out his songs to be heard over the din.

More on the love-hate relationship with media

I am not a big fan of TV - for a number of reasons - time constraints, commercials, and the fact that many of them are not entertaining enough for me to suspend all sense of reality.  BUT over the holidays I was convinced to watch Dexter.  Started with Episode 1 Season 1 and went right through the entire 2 seasons within a few days !  This is a series where the star is a serial killer - he kills bad people - but only if they deserve it.  He has his own code which requires that he prove to himself beyond a doubt that the person deserves to die.  And I like him - he's a very likable person -  and I was rooting for him during each episode.  When his identity was almost discovered I was upset, anxious and actually hopling that he would be safe.
