Is there anything Sarah Michelle Geller can’t do? 🙂 (Link courtesy of Ernie.)
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Nora
I just discovered that my friend Nora from college (she was a fellow Honors Program geek) has a LiveJournal! It’s weird how many of my real life acquaintances are now bloggers. I’m wondering if there’d be any interest in an ND alumni webring. What do you Domers think? I’m almost done with this work project (finally), so it might be fun to tackle afterwards.

Scary cookies
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…

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

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

Maintenance
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!

Go Irish
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.

Priceless
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’!

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