  Halloween...was this weekend. I went as a Valkyrie (the Norse Goddess, not the motorcycle) and my roomate went as a "saucy" pirate. Wednesday night was the SBA (Student Bar Association) party where the winners of the costume contest had dressed up like Mormon Missionaries. I admit. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. Especially when they were drinking beer on stage and the DJ had to remind them that Mormons don't drink. Other costumes of note: I think the entire Grad section of the Sociology department went as the cast of Star Trek (the original). Several Indiana Joneses, though only one had the luck lighter (if you don't know what I'm talking about, run, don't walk to rent "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" one of the best movies ever made. If you do know what I'm talking about, surf over to Amazon and buy me the box set of Indiana Jones Movies with special directors cuts--only 60 odd shopping days until Christmas) Anyway, the best costume by far was a friend of mine who dressed as our lovable, if eccentric, resident natural law scholar/Oxford Don urlLink John Finnis --complete with Aquinas Commentary on Aristotle in hand.
As for the football game: yeah, we suck. But tailgating was good. I made perogies from scratch (a little harder than initially anticipated) and I smelled like Hickory Smoked Bratwurst for a full day after the game. So let's talk about the team and the mass suckage that we witnessed-- We will probably lose to BYU, a team that was beaten by Boise St. 57 to 3 this weekend. See, the mormons get the last laugh in the end.
