We were going to go into the city (near Addison and Western) to watch the Super Bowl at the apartment of a friend of Sheri's from work. He ordered authentic cheese steak's from some place in Philadelphia to go along with the Eagles. Sheri's head cold is getting the better of her though and we are going to stay home. She would feel self conscious about coughing and blowing her nose every five minutes.

Therefore we just got back from a Super Bowl food run. We got:

very ripe avocadoes for my award winning guacamole
Trader Joe's low carb tortilla chips
shredded chedder to melt on top of a few of the tortilla chips under the broiler
a box of Trader Joe vegetable samosas

That is the "for sure" list. We also got the following to prepare as needed:

Trader Joe's frozen pizza
soy chicken nuggets

We are going to watch Employee of the Month right now, and then switch to the Super Bowl after that.

We watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow last night. The story and acting was not as bad as people said it was going to be. The look and feel of the movie however (I can not state this strongly enough) I LOVED! It was gorgeous. If nothing else, you have to rent it just to see what is possible with film making technology today. I thought the first ten minutes was especially good. The ENTIRE movie, even scenes set in an office, are all done on a blue screen stage. Here is a link to a trailer so you can get an idea. (click on either the large, medium, or small buttons to start the clip) There is also a link to download a free game that I just noticed. I think I will give that a quick try right now.
