Day 398: The SuperBowl

Let's start out with this: I did not actually watch the SuperBowl.

I'm not kidding. A bunch of people here on Campus DID watch the Superbowl, but instead I sat at my desk and worked on homework the whole time. That's college for you (especially when you spent a bunch of time doing other stuff on the weekend so you didn't get your homework done until Sunday).

But that's ok. Honestly I generally only watch the Superbowl for the commercials anyways. So it's time for the yearly superbowl commercial review! And there were a few that I really loved this year!

Seriously, I LOVE the Budweiser commercials. They get cuter every single year. I mean, PUPPIES AND HORSES!?! Absolutely adorable. Although I loved last year's too! Gosh, can we just have cuteness like this all the time? 

THERE WAS A FULL HOUSE REUNION AND OF COURSE I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT! 

Seriously, I LOVE Full House, so this officially gets my pick as favorite SuperBowl ad of the year. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. 

This Microsoft Commercial is simply beautiful. 

Ok, how can you not love the Muppets? I saw this and was like "MUPPETS!" Here's the extended song, because it's awesome. 

Speaking of the Muppets...they also had a new ad for their new movie! Gosh March 21...MARCH CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH! 

GoldieBlox won the ad competition for a free ad on the superbowl...and awesome enough, the Midwest launch of the toy was RIGHT HERE at SNC! Plus, it's one of those Fairy Tale references, since the name is obviously inspired by Goldilocks! 

And finally, we have to have a little bit of Ellen on this post. She did a Beats Commercial that also had a Goldilocks spin. Plus we get to see Ellen dancing...which is just awesome. Probably my second favorite commercial of the day that I've seen. It's hilarious. 

So now that you've spent a bunch of time watching all of those videos (if you watched them all that is), I'll let you go. I have plenty of other blog posts I need to get done yet! 

Have a magical day!

Day 367: Football

I really did intend to write this yesterday, but I got caught up in some work for my High School Band. I had to finish up the 2013 Mackinaw Island Band Trip Video. It looks really great, just took a super long time to finish. I'm excited that I'll be making the Disney video for the trip this summer, but thankfully I have the entire summer basically to edit it, so it shouldn't take anywhere near as long. Plus...it's Disney, and I like my work when it comes to Disney stuff.

Anyways, originally my topic for this lovely second day of the year takes us back to yesterday (or in my case, two days ago). Every New Years Day, my mom gets together with a couple of her friends, and that means that all of us get together with her friend's families. It works out nice enough, where we either go to one of their houses or they come here and it just alternates years. Of course, you have to do something while spending time together like that, and for us this year it started out by watching the Wisconsin Badgers Football game, live from Orlando.

Now, no matter what team it is, when there's football broadcast live all over the country from Orlando, you're going to see Disney eventually. For us, we were there maybe five minutes and it was on the screen. I kid you not, five minutes of watching the game (and commercials of course), and on comes a promotional video for Disney Quest, with video of one of the teams in the sports area. We joked about how it "looked familiar," since we were in that exact location only months ago when we headed into Disney Quest really for the first time.

But that wasn't all that went on that I can talk about. Our favorite game to play on New Year's Day with everyone? The Game of Things. It's where one person picks a card that says something like "Things you shouldn't throw off a building," and then everyone around the table answers on a slip of paper. The person who picked the card reads all the answers and then everyone around the table has to guess who said what. It's quite entertaining. Of course, my brother had, at one point, to mention a certain Captain Hook, and then things just got kind of crazy from there. But I guess I could honestly say that I never thought I'd have a picture of Juan Pablo (the new Bachelor for those that don't know), dressed as Captain Hook and doing various activities. That's certainly a new one to say the least.

So that's how I spent my New Year's Day...although I haven't watched the Tournament of Roses parade yet (hopefully I'll get around to that within the next week). I'll have a blog post on that, I'm sure. Mostly because, well, Disney always does something awesome in it!

And here's your very first Disney Fact of the Day! The Star Speeder 3000 you enter as you board Star Tours is the same motion-simulator technology used by the United States military to train their pilots.

Have a magical day!
