iggy and clueless

 i watched the super bowl, chiefs beat the eagles 38-35. best commercials all year, although one i had to look up. it was for an online retailer, and at first i said it looked like an iggy azalea video. i hadn't seen 'clueless' so i was unaware of iggy's 'fancy' video being a takeoff of 'clueless'. although iggy isn't the first to copy a movie in a music video, as madonna copied a marilyn monroe movie, 'gentlemen prefer blondes', in her 'material girl' video. i had seen 'grease' as well as 'caddyshack' so i was familiar with some other ads being parodies of those movies. as usual, plenty of ads for things that men like- cars, beer, and snack foods. there were some movie trailers as well, for me the standout was the one about the air jordan basketball shoe. i am a 'box score' type, and two of the telling stats in box scores said a lot about this game. this was penalties and turnovers. a defensive TD kept the chiefs in the game, and another TD was set up by a long punt return. i am proud of the things i got one before the game started, no need to watch the pre-game show. there was a college basketball game that i listened to on the radio, starting at midday, iowa hawkeyes playing at the minnesota gophers. iowa won 68-56. then i went to fed-ex office and got copies, although it wasn't the typical visit. one printer was down so i had to go to the color copier, and refunded on the difference. i also listened to a CD i had bought from e-bay, the 'prairie home companion' soundtrack, and on youtube i watched a video about the st. louis cardinals.it was a recent one about the record breakers, the wainwright-molina tandem. i went to the liquor store and got a can of steel reserve, and i drank it during the game at halftime when i had the evening meal, so there still are four beers waiting. later on i went on a walk and found 58 cents.
