PASADENA & ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA

Not an awful lot to talk about today, we slept in which was nice then we went to Denny's for breakfast. It was real good, they should have one of these at home. Its a 24 hour diner that has just about everything. Wonderful.
So we started repacking then headed off to Pasadena to check out a college football game - UCLA Bruins vs Arizona Wildcats.
Now all you American Football fans stop reading from here or otherwise its my opinion and its my blog so if you don't like what I think feel free to comment - I have the power to delete MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I may insult you so don't say you weren't warned!
Ok so we get there and theres people everywhere outside the gates drinking. Cause you can't buy alcohol inside. Fair enough I guess it is a college game.
So we find something to eat and drink (you can't take in opened bottles so we had to get new waters for $5!!! thats heaps here) and then went to our seats. We had pretty good seats I think sorta to the right of the end of the field.
We didn't realise but we  arrived about 10 minutes left of 2nd quarter. Now my Ohio mate Grant had emailed us details on how the game works and its pretty much like NRL - except the players have more padding than a transexual and theres about 166 players a side.
So they do the tackle and stop. Then do another tackle and stop. Then one more and decide to swap ALL players. I mean WTF is up with that!!!!!!! So its like they play for like 5 seconds then stop and rest then swap players. Its madness!
I think that 10 minutes left took about 15 or so minutes for it to finish. By then we were all looking at each other going WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because theres just so much bloody confusion and un movement....
Anyhoo, FINALLY halftime and the college band and alumni band come out. Being Halloween tomorrow they were all in costumes. It was ok  and I guess the part where they did some halloween songs (ghostbusters then thriller) was cool cause they had ghostbusters chasing a ghost with fire extinguishers then they all stopped during thriller and put down their instruments and danced in unison.
So then the 3rd Quarter started. We were at the home ground (UCLA) and Arizona were beating them. Then Arizona got a touchdown and we were like wow something happened what a thrill - but not as much of a  thrill as leaving!!! We were so over it (LIKE ABSOLUTE YAWN MATERIAL) that we left!
So we travelled back to Anaheim (which is the suburb we are staying) and we thought screw it lets go watch Saw 3D (is that out at home?) and well BLOODY MEN we couldn't find the cinema cause they didn't get the address so they got the address and STILL COULDN'T FIND IT but it was too late by then. We have a very early morning and a long long long drive so tootalo!

  4. lol yea I can't imagine it would be fun to go to a college football game if you aren't interested in it or didn't go to that school. I went to some of my college football games but they sucked lol.

    You should have gone to a Hockey game... the Chicago team was playing in St. Louis when you were there!!
