A house divided

All in all, the job fair went pretty well I think. It was indeed a lot of standing in line. Some lines were more than an hour long. I got to nine interviews in six hours. I had some positive feedback, including a few people that told me that they would definitely recommend me for a real interview. So now I wait.

But the real stress is coming from my torn allegiance in the Super Bowl. I grew up in a Chicago-loving family, and when I was in middle school, I was a big fan of the "Super Bowl Shuffle." So in that sense, Go Bears!
But on the other hand, I did grow up in Indiana, and was there when the Colts first arrived from Baltimore. So in that sense, Yea rah, Colts!

I really don't know what to do.

Oh wait . . . I forgot. I neither like nor care about football even one infinitesimal amount. Whew! Problem solved.

I will say this, however: whichever way the game turns out tonight, the Bears fans around here will be a fairly despicable lot for the next few days, either overwrought with grief or bloated with self-satisfaction.


Addendum:
I did, of course, watch Prince, since he's awesome. Knowing that my favorite Prince songs would not get played because they were either too dirty ("Gett Off"), too old ("Controversy"), or too awesome ("I Wanna Be Your Lover"), I was interested to see what he was going to play.
Some thoughts:

• "Let's Go Crazy" features one of my favorite 80s lyrics: "Let's look for the purple banana till they put us in the truck."
• Does Prince really have so few appropriate songs that he must resort to a Jimi Hendrix*/Foo Fighters medley? (* I realize that Hendrix was covering Bob Dylan here, but Prince's version was decidedly much more Hendrix than Dylan.)
  
• "Purple Rain" does bring back some great memories of Marion, Indiana. The Marion High School basketball team won state three years in a row, and since our colors were purple and gold, the t-shirts for the year said "Purple Reign." Very clever.
• One and half Prince songs. Lame.
