February 4, 2013

     When I first started this blog, I had the intention of watching an anime everyday and then writing about it.  I thought "How hard would it be to watch twenty-four minutes of tv and comment on it every day?"  I discovered the past few days that sometimes it is harder than I thought.  I guess we all get busy sometimes, and let's face it, have to spend time with the family every once in a while.  So, Saturday, I went on a family drive and we had fun together. This surprised me a little since the boys are almost grown and her and me don't get along too much lately.  We used to go on drives alot when the price of gas was reasonable.  Now, it is just a luxury we can't afford.
   
      Sunday was Superbowl Sunday.
    
       I actually watched the game, which I didn't really intend on watching the whole thing, but I did for the most part, aside from texting and looking at apps for my phone.  I thought the NFL did a good job in halting the game with the power outage to get "everyone" on the same page to make it an exciting close game.  I have thought for a while that the league controls outcomes and match ups based on which story lines are better to sell games, especially the Superbowl.  Let's face it, football is a billion dollar business, why would they allow fans to turn away from a blow out.  I don't really have any proof, and can honestly admit, many of my examples that I have used to back this theory can be looked at from other angles and mean different things.  I would like to say that I believe the latest news from Tim Brown and Jerry Rice that the year the Raiders were in the Superbowl saying the head coach, I forget his name right now, didn't do in their opinion enough to win that game because he wanted his friend John Gruden to win is interesting.  I feel if this coach held back anything in the game, it wasn't out of mere loyalty for a friend.  Friend or not, he is your competition and is there to be beaten by you.  I think it probably had do do with the NFL wanting the Buccaneers to win for some reason. I have no idea why.  Just that it was better for business in their point of view, probably since Tampa Bay has always been a non factor in NFL history. Anyway, I think the League, owners, head coaches and coordinators are involved.  Maybe some high profile players, I don't know.  After all, it is entertainment, like Pro Wrestling, LOL.

     Today, I got back on the Soul Eater track with Episodes 7 and 8.  These consisted of Maka and Souls battle with a Meister and weapon pair of Crona and Ragnarok.  These two are different because Ragnarok is a demon sword who is actually inside of Crona.  They are supported by a witch, Medusa, who at the end of episode 8, we found out is Meister Academy's doctor! Ahhh!  This could be interesting.  Back to episode 7, Maka and Soul fight Crona and Ragnarok but the outcome is grim after Soul gets injured defending Maka.  Woop dee doo, Stein and Spirit, Maka's Dad, to the rescue.  They defeat Crona and Ragnarok and have a brief skirmish with the witch until she retreats with Crona.
