Happy Halloween to everybody who dares to visit this blog.

SlagleRock has a holiday safety warning for all parents. When i was little, my parents took me around to malls for trick or treat, but even then, i rarely got to eat any candy. Halloween was mostly about the dress up for me.

Last night both myself and Matt Scofield had something to cheer about. Cal humiliated ASU by a score of 27 to nothing. (Matt's a Wildcat fan.) Cal is playing great. Too bad USC is too, but the Rose Bowl is a definite possibility for the Golden Bears this year. If it can't be Cal, i'd love to see USC and Auburn in the Orange Bowl because i think Auburn will spank the Trojans.

i'm not doing anything for Halloween this year. Since i took Saturday off, i need to study today. i had planned to go to the game with Francine and some other Cal friends, except i fucked up my ankle on Friday. i didn't want to walk on it yesterday, since Memorial Stadium requires so much hiking. Thankfully, it's feeling much better this morning.

i cooked tonight, and there were two requirements: be done in time to watch The Apprentice, and include the four major food groups. Those food groups being 1) meat, 2) bread, 3) vegetables and 4) alcohol. My roommates don't get enough veggies.

i accomplished this task with the following menu:

• meat stuffed tortellini with my own sauce (leftover)


• Brussels sprouts with mustard-horseradish cream sauce (non-fat)


• crusty romano cheese sourdough rolls


• $5 chianti

The $5 bottle of chianti was indeed a hit, though.

If you had been in the cafeteria today, you might have overheard a conversation that went something like this:

"Hey Quan, where've you been?"

"Oh . . . uh . . . hi Annika."

"i haven't seen you in, like, weeks. Where'd you go? i thought you quit after the test or something."

"No . . . uh . . . I just moved seats."

"You did? What for?"

"Umm."

"Didn't you like sitting behind me?"

"Well . . . uh . . . to be honest . . .uh . . . I had to move."

"Oh come on. What, did i smell bad?"

"No . . . uh . . . no it's just . . . uhh . . . "

"You're fucking kidding me. Quan? You're kidding, right?"

". . . uhhh no it's not . . ."

"Please tell me you're fucking shitting me. Aren't you Quan? i really smell bad?"

"No . . . uh . . . you see it's . . . uhhh . . ."

"What the fuck? Just tell me!"

"It's . . . uh whenever you wore those uh blue warm-up pants . . . it got . . . uh . . . kinda distracting uhh . . . 'cause I could see your uh . . . your . . . uhh . . ."

"Oh . . . well . . . uh . . . sorry about that . . . uh . . . Quan . . . i uhh . . . "

"No problem, Annika. Don't worry about it."

The lesson to be learned from that little vignette is this: When the professor grades on a curve, consider converting butt cleavage into extra points.

1 You have no idea how familiar that story sounds. Back in first-year torts . . . But it'd be really nice if you could fix all the " " stuff. It'd make the post a lot easier to read.

2 What was supposed to be inside those quotes was "& n b s p" (without the spaces).

3 Quan is clearly the slave of his masturbatory fantasies.

5 Poor Quan. But it's still funny.

6 Um, isn't there a problem with the plan due to blind grading? I have to admit, I'd probably would have been in Quan's situation, but for having OC standards while going to school in SF.

7 Aha, Tony, see the beauty of the plan is that it doesn't involve the professor at all. The key is to distract the competition in order to lower the curve and thus move one's self up in rank comparatively. And theoretically, of course.

8 How deliciously devious of you.
