First of all, since I am sure that today is the correct day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!!

Okay, now that I have that out of the way, let’s begin shall we? So, why I like Saturdays: As I have mentioned, for those of you bothering to keep up, Saturdays during the fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I got to sleep in late even though Kanani called because she couldn’t find the trail that led to the Makapuu tide pools. In retrospect it didn’t really matter since I didn’t even hear my phone ring and I didn’t receive her message until some three hours later.

So reason #1: I usually get to sleep in late. Last night five of us watched “The Nightmare Before Christmas” after church so I didn’t get home until later. Therefore I slept in late. But since it was Saturday I could do anything I wanted.

Reason #2: There is college football on like five or six different stations! This morning I got to watch Boston College squeak out a victory over Notre Dame and there was another exciting finish on another channel but I can’t remember who played. Plus, on some Saturdays in the fall the University of Hawaii plays at home and I get to go watch.

Reason #3: Baseball playoffs/World Series. It was been a super exciting playoffs with the Dodgers making it in (even though they didn’t get past the first round) and the Red Sox/Yankees series was one of the most exciting ever. Today the World Series started between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. This should also be an exciting series especially since Keao went to school in Boston and Sea Biscuit and Kellie are from Missouri. I’m hoping they make some kind of wager with high, embarrassing stakes.

I’m sure there are more reasons to love Saturdays but I just can’t think of too many more now. So stop pressuring me! Anyway, today I had to leave my house before I could see the outcome of Game 1 of the World Series because I had to watch UH football (the Red Sox won 11-9). So Kawakami and I went to Aloha Stadium. However, before we reached the stadium my friend Dustin called because he was already at the stadium. He was going to be in the halftime show and he was bored just waiting for the game to start. It was cool though because we got to hang out with Dustin (a self-proclaimed TV star) before he had to don the costume for halftime. Halftime was great. There was a mascot bowl in which all these different mascots played a game that is similar to football. I’m not sure that anyone won (or lost) I think it was just an excuse for grown men and women to play during halftime in silly costumes. Personally, I liked it.

Dustin did great doing whatever he was supposed to do. Maybe one day I’ll be cool like him. Oh and by the way, UH won 46-28 even though Ayat missed two PATs (I think he was trying to shave points, just kidding). Anyways, church tomorrow so I need to go to sleep.
