How we here at OptimusHalifax lament the days when we had a television. Actually, digital cable to be more precise. Ah, the days when, after coming home, we would sit on the couch and watch Dr. Phil, Oprah, 7th Heaven, reruns of CSI that we’d seen about one million times before and then the prime time hits depending on which day of the week it was. Now we’ve been reduced to going to a friend’s house every Monday evening to watch Prison Break and 24, and living in eerie, non-televised silence the rest of the week. Today, for example, there will be no Super Bowl XLI for us. Instead, we are stealing internet and hanging out on the superbowl.com website for live play-by-play updates. You must not have thought this about your humble editor, but alas, she has a soft spot for the Super Bowl. Mostly just because she likes making appetizers and drinking lots of beer. And missing the halftime show! YEGADS! It’s PRINCE, people, PRINCE!!

This is what it feels like when doves cry..what a sad, sad day.
