OK, I've just seen a preview of some of the ads that will be shown at the Superbowl. I gotta tell you, I laughed out loud at the Volkswagen Darth Vader one. Audi is stepping in with long commercials and being snarky with their "Startled Smart" series. There will be a new eTrade baby ad but the excerpt on the website I saw has "outtakes" worth checking out. The Doritos commercial makes you go ewwww. Go to: http://www.businessinsider.com/super-bowl-commercials-super-bowl-xlv-2011-2?slop=1 if you want to see some. Otherwise, watch the Superbowl.
At our house, we are, of course, cheering on the Steelers as they are Steve's team. He has said, however, that he wouldn't mind if the Packers won because he is completely anti-Favre. I will have to be consoled that at least Dallas's ARENA made it the Superbowl. Sigh.
I've got to get cranking on the newsletter. At first glance, there are over 100 books being released. That will whittle down (I hope) as the newsletter comes together because some the release dates will have changed. Either way, I've got to make use the time I've got. :)
I've switched horses in my reading agenda. Apparently it just wasn't the time for the Gregory, and now I'm reading SPIDER'S WEB by Peter Tremayne. This is 5th of 21 in series featuring Sister Fidelma, a 7th century Celtic sister and legal advocate in Kildare, Ireland. Here is a description:
It was published in 1997 and has 352 pages.In the spring of 666 A.D., Sister Fidelma is summoned to the small Irish village of Araglin. An advocate of the Brehon law courts as well as a religieuse, she is to investigate the murder of the local chieftain. While traveling there with her friend Brother Eadulf, a band of brigands attacks the roadside hostel in which they are staying and attempts to burn them out. While Fidelma and Eadulf manage to beat back their attackers, this incident is only the first in a series that troubles them. When they arrive at Araglin, they find out that the chieftain was murdered in the middle of the night, and next to his body, a local deaf-mute man was found holding the bloody knife that killed him. While everyone else seems convinced that the man's guilt is obvious, sister Fidelma is not so sure. As she investigates, she's convinced that there is something happening in the seemingly quiet town--something that everyone is trying very hard to keep from her. In what may be the most challenging and confusing situation that she has yet faced, Fidelma must somehow uncover the truth behind the chieftain's murderer and find out what is really going on beneath the quiet surface of this rural town.
Have a terrific Sunday.
Much love,
