The last day of the year... month..

Happy Halloween to all you trick and treaters out there... Today at our house when you trick and treat here we will be giving out ghost pepper chips..  They are really nice and warm..

Todays entry is going to be an odd mix so ...  Watch and learn.. Or read.. Over this past weekend I watched some football... And the game I watched more or less was that Texas/Baylor game mostly because.. Well I love watching a team struggle especially when it's a team I can't stand.. Texas, and as well Notre Dame.. But Texas because we were in the same conference with them, when Texas forced their way into the big 8 conference and started to quickly screw things up, eliminating one of the greatest rivalries in college sports when they dropped the Oklahoma/Nebraska rivalry.. I think it was one of the big reasons why Nebraska left the big twelve conference was mostly Texas U.. Well having Nebraska leave also made schools like Baylor get better because Nebraska used to recruit quite well from the Texas area.. But now we go elsewhere mostly because we don't play down there in Texas regularly anymore.. And so when Texas got rid of their coach and went with Charlie Strong, that was supposed to fix their ailing football program.. IT DIDN'T..  Leaving Louisville to go to a bigger school/bigger conference was not the best move he could make but it was Texas that threw that money at him.. We saw that at Nebraska getting Bill Callahan from the NFL's Oakland Raiders the year after he took them to the super bowl, the next year the team went in the toilet so he was about to get fired, he left for greener pastures in Nebraska and subsequently proved that it was no fluke there in Oakland, he was a great recruiter but the worst head coach..   Had Nebraska stayed in the big twelve conference we might be as good as we were back in the golden days of Osbourne but.. I doubt it..

Faster... By Within Temptation...   

Everytime I think I've heard the best songs by Within Temptation.. I hear a new version of a song and hear why I like it even more.. The studio versions of their songs, after hearing the live versions is quite a nice change..

 Covered by Roses.. This version.. Very good.. Sherry never misses..

Just one more... Stairway To The Skies...  WOW...  Saw this one at the end of the Elements concert.. Very Powerful...

Alrighty then.. This past weekend saw a shift in watching movies.. Not a shift away completely but rather a different source for watching...  First off was this one

10 Cloverfield Lane.. A sort of prequel to the Cloverfield movie a few years back.. You know the one where the guy used a shaky hand cam to video the events of whatever night it was that they were at a party and we got invaded by aliens.. Bummer.. But this movie had me questioning weather the guy was just playing the girl for stupid and hoping she wouldn't go out and find out that everything was just fine..  Interesting movie.. And this wasn't on Netflix...

There was something about this movie, Lilla and Eve, that made me think.  Something isn't quite right here.. Interesting movie though.. Confirmed suspicions as it turns out..

Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil.. This one was one I saw my brother mention on Facebook so i found it on Netflix and gave it a go..  Kinda fun when you see from both sides..  Really interesting goofy fun..

Finally I am watching this four part BBC documentary on the American/Soviet Union space race.. I'd seen other versions on the space race and so this really isn't telling me much I didn't already know..

Currently I am on season five of Justified...  The end of season four was the best and really I remember not wanting the series to ever end but.. and it will again..  Oh well... I think Dark Shadows will be next..  All one thousand episodes.. Hope the channel stays lit through that all...
