My day started off with a band today (or should I say it was a "smokin" I didn't have to go into work until later, so I decided to throw some laundry in. A few momments later, I heard some weird noises, and could smell something hot. I went downstairs, only to find my drying smoking, and the basement wreaked of that hot electrical motor smell. Some clothing got caught inbetween the drum and the top of the washer, so it couldn't spin properly, and it was taxing the motor. So..I let it cool down, and tried it again, it worked fine. I was so affraid I blew out the motor. Then, I went back upstairs, and flushed the toilet, guess what? It overflowed! So I had smoke and water to deal with in the same 1/2 hour! I was almost happy to leave home and go to work before something else went wrong. No it is rather humorous, but it sure wasn't at the time!
All of the Super Bowl hype, and Detroit hype is done. Detroit can go back to being the "armpit" of Mi again.
Now it's claim to fame can go back to being a high crime area, a city going bankrupt, and a city being run by a really crooked mayor. During the game they showed there really nice pictures of the city at night, it was hard to believe it was the same city! Yes, Detroit does have it's good points, but very few. After the
Super Bowl, the Steelers "LOVED DETROIT", and so did everyone else. I wonder if they still do, I wonder how they would feel about it, if they seen it in it's "normal state" and not the "cleaned up" version.
I am not a big football fan, but being I live with 2 males, the game was on. I was very disapointed by the commercials this year. They did not seem to be as cute, funny, or creative as in other years. They all seemed very sexual. I guess sex sells. I also was not impressed by the half-time show. It seemed like it was pretty short to me. I love the Rolling Stones, but you think they would have had Detroit artists performing.... But, hey, anyone is still better than Brittney Spears!
I can't believe it is already the 7th of Feb. Where does time go!
