Yes, that's right one of the terrestrial channels (itv) here in London broadcast the Super Bowl. It was quite an experience.<br /><br />Before I knew that the Super Bowl was going to be on TV I decided that I was going to buy snacks anyways because it was Super Bowl Sunday regardless if I was in London or not. So I got some chips and dip and Samia bought some stuff for Nachos. We ate most of them around 8PM our time, when we learned that the Super Bowl was going to be broadcast here at 11:15 PM. I thought, damn this is great, I can watch a little of the game and most importantly see the Stones at half time. Well let me tell you it was something else. Itv was taking the live feed of the game from the States, but the commercial formats are all different over here, so when American tv would go to commercials we would be entertained with a quick commentary from some British girl or guy who had absolutely no knowledge about American football. Occasionally there was a minor NFL has been who would try and explain something. This one guy was saying how most American watch the Super Bowl not so much for the game, but for the commercials. The girl who was interviewing him was all confused, she was like well why would they do that?<br /><br /><br />Sadly, the audio was all messed up for the Stones performance, but I made the most out of it. I really liked the stage, the shape of it reminded me of the stage that U2 uses. The songs choice was good, predictable but good. I was reading on Boston.com today that: <em>During "Start Me Up," the line "you make a dead man come" was cut short. A barnyard reference to "cocks" in the new song "Rough Justice" also mysteriously disappeared.</em> Censorship at its worst. Nothing was bleeped out here in London, because they don't believe in censorship over here. They are firm believers that if you don't like something you should turn it off.<br /><br />This is the last week of classes, then we have time to work on papers and projects and study for our final exams. I've got a little start on some of the things so I am hoping to use some of the free time to plan a few weekend trips. I've got to get to Germany, Poland and it looks like Prague for Easter break. And maybe Vienna if it looks like I can financially do it, because it just seems like a cool place to go. I've also go to start planning my traveling to Paris and Italy after the program with Jon. So much to do and so little time. I'll manage to get everything done.<br /><br />Cheers!<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br> posted @ 9:48 PM </p> </div> <div style="position:absolute; top:143; left:0; width:123; overflow:auto; height:%; padding:0px;"> <center> <p class=head>CONTACT ME</p> <p align=justify><p align=center><a href="mailto:ndamstetter@gmail.com">Email ME</a> <br> <a href="aim:goim?screenname=Cinderellie5">Send Me an IM</a><br> Skype: Cinderellie5 <br></p> <p class=head>LINKS</p> <a href="http://www.skype.com">Skype</a><br> <a href="http://ndamstetter.shutterfly.com/action/">Europe Pictures</a><br> <a href="http://cinderellie5.shutterfly.com/action/">Other Pictures</a><br> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cinderellie5">My Space</a><br> <p class=head>ARCHIVES</p> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2005/12/'>December 2005</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/01/'>January 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/02/'>February 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/03/'>March 2006</a> <br> <a href='http://ndamstetter.blogspot.com/2006/04/'>April 2006</a> <br> <br><br> <p class=head>CHEERS</p> <p align=center>The World's A Roller Coaster And I Am Not Strapped In.</p> </div> <div style="position:absolute; right:25px; top:90px; width:200px; overflow:auto; height:%; padding:0px;"> <center> <p class=head>PICTURES OF THE WEEK</p> <p align=center<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/269/morocco0431oa.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Riding Camels" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/688/morocco1257sn.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="My Postcard Photo Taking" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/3349/morocco0780cl.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="The Ramparts" /></a><br> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2069/morocco0997rh.jpg" border="2" width="150" alt="Orange Trees Everywhere" /></a> <p class=head>INTERESTING FACTS</p> <p align=center>The most popular route on the tube for tourists is Leicester Square to Covent Garden on the Piccadilly line. It is quicker to walk this distance than travel on the tube. <br></p> More than 51 million visits are made to London libraries every year.
