I love Halloween

I was in Target this weekend and almost peed my pants when I saw the newest display: Boo Berry, Count Chocula, and Franken Berry! I bought myself a package of Franken Berry. I don't think any kids actually want these cereals anymore, just us 20 and 30 year olds who remember the good ol' days of super sugar cereals. I can't wait for breakfast tomorrow morning...

1984

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of basking in the awesomeness known as Van Halen. They recently reunited with David Lee Roth, and replaced their old bassist with Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son. They played only their hits from 72-84, but few seemed to care because what they played was amazing. Panama brought the house down, and when they closed with Jump I nearly cried. I think I could listen to Eddie Van Halen play guitar for days on end. If you get a chance to attend one of their concerts in your area do yourself a favor and go; all of their flavors are guaranteed to satisfy.

1 - 5, Baby!

I never thought I would be so excited to say that, but a win is a win is a win. Add in Stanford (Stanford! 41-point underdog!) knocking off Southern Cal at home, ending their 35-game home winning streak, and losses by Miami and Florida and it was quite a nice little Saturday.

I find it curious that Notre Dame is suddenly no longer front-page news on espn.com and si.com. First five weeks of the season and every loss was headline news. But beat a 4-1 (3-0, Pac 10) UCLA team at home and they disappear. Funny how that works... I know all the "experts" will say that the only reason ND won was because UCLA played a back-up, walk-on quarterback, but aren't you supposed to take advantage of an opportunity when it's presented? Notre Dame took care of business. Besides, it's not their fault Karl Dorrell would rather keep a red shirt on a stud freshman quarterback than win a game. That was his decision, not Notre Dame's...
