Check out these Halloween cookies my sister made! Scary bones and witches’ fingers. Maybe if we all ask very nicely, she’ll tell us how she did it…

My sister sent me a link to this really cute Flash movie today. Put your headphones on so you can crank the music. 🙂

This whole BCS thing is insane. Does anyone understand this analysis? Why in the world doesn’t college football have a playoff tournament?

Helpful tip: when you stay up til 3 in the morning to listen to something on the Internet, make sure your ISP hasn’t scheduled a maintenance outage for that night. D’oh!

It’s two minutes to kickoff… and it’s three in the morning. *yawn* Go Irish.
Update: HEART ATTACK.
- 8:30 into the game – Internet connection completely dies
- 8:32 – I frantically check every connection
- 8:33 – I run upstairs and restart the modem several times
- 8:34 – still dead
- 8:35 – I reluctantly wake the Snook, who has no ideas
- 8:40 – I try to find the number for our ISP to call and complain
- 8:41 – I am unsuccessful
- 12:00 – I call my friends in the US for a score update
- End of first quarter – I give up and decide to go to bed
- One second later – Internet comes back!
This game is a shocker already and it’s only one-fourth of the way through. At least I’m awake now.
Game over! Oh my god. ND 34, FSU 24. (It should’ve been 34-10, but whatever.) The sun has risen on a world with Notre Dame championship aspirations. I’m going to go try to pry my contacts off my eyeballs and hit the sack. What a night.

Running a mile in just over 11 minutes? Nine months of hard work…
Finishing 5K in 38:30, when it took me 45:44 last June? Four months of pounding on the treadmill…
Having one of the hard-core weightlifter guys congratulate me after my run and observe that I’ve lost a bit of weight over the past few months? Bloody priceless.

Buffy makes you smart. I just received today’s word of the day and it’s “kakistocracy”. Without even reading the definition, I knew that it meant “government by the worst of the worst.” How did I know that? Season 3, Episode 3. The villain is a big guy with cloven feet named “Kakistos”. Guess I’m done with the book learnin’!

A German tourist escaped the Bali blast only to be killed by a crocodile in Australia ten days later. Talk about bad luck.

Rest in peace, Professor Dumbledore. That’s really sad. I wonder who they’ll get to replace him?

Apple will be selling iPods in Best Buy and Target for Christmas. Damn. On one hand I think it’s the best mp3 player available and I want everybody in the world to acknowledge that. On the other, if everybody’s got one mine won’t be so special anymore! It’s the eternal Mac-enthusiasts paradox.
