Super-duper Bowl

How freakin' exciting was Super Bowl XLII? If it couldn't be Peyton Manning throwing the winning touchdown pass for the Colts, I'm glad it was his younger brother Eli doing it for the Giants. You gotta love an upset by a wild card team over a previously invincible one. Plus, the Patriots and their tactics had bugged me all season.


Reading: "Will The Vampire People Please Leave The Lobby?" (2007) by Allyson Beatrice. Ostensibly about "Buffy" fandom, this book devotes far too many pages to you-had-to-be-there message board politics. The writing's solid, but there's a dearth of characterisation, apart from hazy outlines of the author and her intellectual crush.
