The only time I have ever watched the Super Bowl is when the '85 Bears were doing the Super Bowl Shuffle.  I still know most of the words.  If other football teams would make hilariously bad songs and videos, perhaps I would be more interested.  Not really. I'm too busy watching "Hoarders" to watch the Super Bowl.  Man this show is jacked up.  One episode I watched had a house filled with bedbugs.  So disgusting.  I was itchy for days.  Matt can't watch the show anymore.  He's in the shower now, though, so I can enjoy.  Or whatever it is that one does when they watch "Hoarders."  I think it would be sick to enjoy it.  I read an article about the show where they said they once found 34 dead cats underneath a pile of junk.  Say what? How can I not be fascinated by this?
In non-hoarding news, I received the best email from my editor.  She said she thought my third novel was brilliant [when you send a manuscript off to your editor, you then have to wait around with fingers crossed that they will say they like it.  And eventually you receive a puffy envelope with some typed suggestions for the overall book, as well as the entire manuscript with little changes throughout]), and that I would receive one of the lightest edits from her ever (except for my lamely rushed ending, which I totally know I have to fix).  I forwarded the email to my agent, and she said she hasn't seen a letter like that from my editor in a long time.  I still kind of don't believe both of them, like they are just trying to be overly nice, but maybe not?  Sure made me feel good!  The more positive feedback I receive on my writing, the more confident I am about it.  Isn't that pathetic?  I know I should just be proud of my art, or whatever, but I have never been one to enjoy a "critique."  I want people to like my work.  So nyah.
Excuse me, I think I see a cat sticking out of my pile of manuscripts over there...  [Lamest blog ending ever.]

My husband is a huge Bears fan, so when all the guys came out at the beginning of our wedding, they came out to The Superbowl Shuffle. I agree that more teams need to make cheesy songs-then I would be more interested!:)
And congrats on the good feedback-I can't wait to hear more about this mysterious third novel.
I remember the dead cats. They only showed two on tv though. They were flat. Nasty.
dead cats are creepy
*shivers*
& conrats on the feedback!!!!
GBTQ- That's hilarious about your wedding! Steph- They showed two of the cats on TV?! That's sick. Skyebird- I am pretty sure you would not be able to handle the cats. Thank goodness they weren't horses!
