Babbles of a Procrastinating Grad Student

D just turned on the Big American Football Game, and I've wandered off to my sewing room.  But we're both cooking, and from the kitchen I heard the national anthem start.  It was a bunch of kids, and I thought 'oh hey, are they actually going to have a non-celeberty sing?  Wandered into the living room just at a celeberty walks on and takes over from the kids.  AND now someone else is singing the song...slowly...on a piano.  Is it standard for the song to be sung mulitple times?  Seems ridiculous to me, but I'm not a football nut, and it is the American Game.

*shrugs*  I guess we can just chalk it up to either National Pride or possibly Playing It Up for the Big Event.  lol

I didn't realize that Hugh Laurie played the Dad in Stewart Little!  It's so...strange to see him acting so kind and 1950's perfect after seeing him in House and Sense and Sensibility!  :D
