Fruity loops, Fruit Loopies, swimming in the churning, frothy mother sea of milk, Kellogg's appreciates consumer comments, P. O.

@Kid Canada: He got the words out of order. Obama noticed and paused, then they tried it again. It looked awkward for both of them on the replay. But he's still president, so it doesn't matter. They'll get it right four years from now.

CNN is busy discussing Michelle Obama's choice of gown and designer. She chose an Asian designer, apparently, "because she's a progressive lady".

Or maybe she chose the dress she thought was the prettiest.

Either way, YOU'RE CNN!!!

@Peter Cavan: Really? Damn, that sounds like it was fun. Guessing it was in the main ballroom. I did GPB (forget what it was called before that, but we did virtually all "campus-wide" programs like concerts, comedians, and homecoming, as SFS had Dip Ball), so I spent way too much time in Leavey.

@Craig Eshericks Mustache: I also got to help out with a diplomatic event on campus two days before the '93 inauguration. The Clintons and Gores were five feet away from me for about 15 minutes at a reception. Later, I got to shake their hands as they walked through a crowd of students. It was exciting to a 19-year-old freshman.

Alright. The second reason today was a big day: "Merriweather Post Pavilion."

It got its US proper today. I've listened to this thing a couple times in formulating my review. At first I thought, "Eh." Then I thought, "Okay, not bad." Now I'm thinking, "Man. Really good."

I mean, there are some honest-to-God stunners on this thing. I'm not fawning over it like Pitchfork and Co. (cause the Collective sometimes goes too far), but it is a very good album.

If Chicago's late enough in the year that I've (probably) moved to Milwaukee, I would of course be in for that too.

@Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner: Strangely enough, part of the line of reasoning among the Michigan blogs why RR was enamored of GR was because Syracuse always gave West Virginia fits for the early part of the game, but WFV's conditioning always won out, so he's thinking that GR can game plan for multiple looks and schemes and with superior athletes can win the day. I hope this is right. I really do.
