Got up just in time this morning to catch the end of the Pep Rally live on the Internet. Of course, the crappy Windows Media Stream doesn’t like my computer so I don’t have any sound, but it was so cool to suddenly recognize that everyone was moving their arms in sync and to have…

Ooh, Stipey got fugged! As the picture was loading (from the top) I was thinking, “Actually, that isn’t really too bad, even considering the scarf-thing…” and then the boots appeared and I was like, “… OH.”

Check it out! It’s Toast and Sakai! I know somebody who’s met an Iron Chef! (And if you came to our first Halloween party, you know him too! He was the proctologist.)

Rumors are flyin’ in the lead-up to this weekend’s ND vs USC game. Bon Jovi at the pep rally? That’s nuts. Okay, so the game is in South Bend at 3:30pm, right? That makes it Sunday morning at 6:30am here. Ouch. The question is, how can I watch/listen/follow along to the game? Even if I…
