@Lucas Jensen: This year was the first time I'd seen the Puppy Bowl - and seeing how some of those cats reacted to the confetti, I'm almost surprised that one of them slept through it!

I thought it was fun to watch - especially since I had a cat on my lap, watching the "game" itself quite intently, then showing indifference towards the halftime show!

@jmb112485: Do you really consider 28 "aging"? Now I'm depressed.

@Lucas Jensen: I was gonna, but I got stuck reading a book. I had The White Album on, and my carousel cycled through Girls Can Tell, Gimme Fiction and Pithecampus Erectus. Did I miss anything by not watching tv?

I slept in late, caught a matinée of “Cloverfield” with my girl, went to work for a couple of hours, listened to about two tracks from the new Roisin Murphy album, decided I hated it (as much as televised sports, both very dull), switched to Charlotte Gainsbourg to ease myself into working late, came home, watched Samurai Jack, and crashed to the sounds of William Basinski. A nice quiet Sunday.

I was watching the new Tom Stoppard play, “Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and thinking about how much I hate Pink Floyd. But I hate football more.

I sat in a early evening/late Sunday afternoon haze in front of my computer wondering why I thought “lightly” adding tequila to every glass of juice I had earlier in the day was a good idea. While stuck to my chair and eventually getting up to half ass mess around with some free weights [don't ask. guess I was making up for the fact that I was the only man in my house not screaming/staring at a tv screen (IN HD!!!)], I played tracks from both Omarion’s and Mario’s latest albums, and a couple selected tracks from the Dream’s debut, cause apparently that’s how I roll…

I was painting walls in my house. While listening to the Mystery Jets. And Os Mutantes.

@Poubelle: That's a great present. I love that Cribs album.

I was listening to American Music Club's new album "The Golden Age" streaming from Merge Record's site and contemplating whether I was going to see them in Des Moines.

I also listened to Umphrey's McGee's live album "Live at the Murat" debating the merits of post-Phish jambands.

Also, I listened to Sharon Jones and the Dap-King's Austin show I torrented from dimeadozen earlier in the day.

That is what I did during the soup-r-bowl.

Uhm I was listening to Massive Attack. And playing Warcraft.

I will go back to my nerd cave.

@scarletvirtue: The first Kitty Halftime Show was the best, where the confetti finale scared away all of the kittens except for one, who slept through the whole thing.

Also watched the “Puppy Bowl”, which had a halftime show that was far superior to Tom Petty.

I had the game on in the background so I could have something to half-pay-attention to while attending to crucial music collection tagging business, and also in the event that any cool movie trailers I hadn't seen yet would show up. (How about Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark? I keep picturing him putting off fighting the Mandarin or whoever to go after the Zodiac Killer.)

Also, Maura: please tell me this Carlos Gomez character is, at the very least, the next Cesar Cedeno.

I don’t know how ya’ll can’t like sports AKA football.

I was opening birthday presents, which included the Cribs album. I thought about turning on the game, but then I realized there was no way Tom Petty could top Prince last year.

I think I was catching up on “The Wire” and folding laundry for some of the game. Also, I remember going through some combination of Art Brut, The National, No Age, and Jay Z while cleaning my room/ wasting time on the internet. However, I have no idea which of those overlapped with which time frame.
