1. Baseball Down to Four: As disappointing as it was to have the Twins miss out on the playoffs, I can take some solace in knowing that neither the Yankees or Red Sox are still alive either. I was praying we wouldn’t see yet another Yankee/Red Sox ALCS match-up. Now it’s the Angels and White Sox. I would have to go with the White Sox, just because they’re way more rested up while the Angels have been flying all over the place playing the Yankees, and now they’re a little banged up too. In the NL, it’s the same as last year with the Astros and Cardinals. As great of a win as the Astros came off of in the 18-inning game Sunday, I think the Cardinals will take it and then beat the White Sox in the World Series.

2. Weird Weekend: The last three days were spent sitting around Madison as we celebrated Native American Day. I will spare you the details, but it was at times traumatic, at times very relaxing, and at times very vaguely remembered. But when all was said and done, everything on Monday morning was back to the way it was Friday night. Everyone’s probably wondering what the hell I’m talking about.

3. Graudation Approaching: Once again, it’s worth mentioning that I am down to two months on the collegiate countdown. Two months from today is the big day when I walk through line at the graduation ceremony. Nick Sandbulte tells me he’s unsure as to whether or not he’ll even go, and he’s graduating. Amanda said the same thing, but if she didn’t go as a graduate then she’d go to see me, which doesn’t make much sense, so it looks like she’ll have to go. Other fellow fall grads include Scott Headrick, Craig, and Mark Theisen.

4. Food Deprived: I don’t have any groceries left in the house, yet whenever I go to Jubilee to stock up, I don’t end up buying much of anything. Everything I see that I might want to get costs just as much as it would for me to eat out. So I tell myself I’ll just spend that four or five bucks at China Moon or Dairy Queen instead of Jubilee.

5. On This Date in Ryan Glanzer History: Would you believe that October 11 on each of the last two years was spent in Nebraska? In 2003, I was in Omaha for the weekend with the gang for one of those famed Liz Burke visits. In 2004, Jason, Chris, and I were on our way home from visiting the LaPlants in Auburn, Nebraska.

6. One Internship Done: The David Glanzer Casting website was finished this weekend after several hours of work. The first time I tried to make a layout for the site it took six hours of sitting there messing around. After all that, I decided I didn’t like it and started over. Saturday, I put together a much better layout and in less than an hour. Hopefully it will be online soon.

7. Curb Hysterical: I think I saw the funniest episode ever of Curb Your Enthusiasm this weekend. The new episode had Larry buying his housekeeper a bra after Cheryl was sick of seeing her flopping around. In order to figure out the right size to buy, Larry compares his housekeeper to Suzie, his agent Jeff’s wife. While in Jeff’s house, Larry finds one of Suzie’s bras and parades around the room in the bra, only to be caught later on a hidden tape. Very funny.

8. Chargers Lose Another Close One: The Chargers are 2-3, but all three of their losses have come on last-second plays. So a few turns of events and they could easily be 5-0. They dropped a tough one to the Steelers on Monday Night Football while wearing their classic powder blue uniforms.
