1.  First things first, Pepsi has a new logo.  I feel like for the past three weeks, I’ve made comments about new logos that companies have adopted.  I was pretty turned off by the Pepsi logo when I first saw it - I hated it.  I hate the font, I hate the little grincircles (I don’t know what else to call them) and oh my goodness, I hate the abbreviation of Mountain to MTN.  Sigh.  And I hate the Sierra Mist can.  I don’t understand why Pepsi, a company with such a recognizable brand image, would do something of this caliber.

2.  Today is Halloween.  A year ago today, while driving the six hours home from my interview, Marques and I made the decision to move here.  I am very grateful to the company I work for.  Anyway, if you’ve got Halloween plans (unlike me and Marques) and you still don’t have a costume, here’s a list of easy literary costumes you can probably pull off before your party tonight.

3.  I love this group of homemade Obama signs.

4.  I wish that we had this Halloween candy code when I was a kid.  I love the “out of candy, now giving out expired sauce packets from Taco Bell”.  HA.

5.  This evolution of the Los Angeles Times front page (and website) design is really interesting.

6.  These zombie wall decals are AWESOME.  Need and want.

7.  A good menu for election night parties.  I’m thinking about making little cake balls in red and blue for my office, since that’s where I’ll be alllll evening.

8.  Or maybe I can just make Obama cookies.

9.  I would totally watch sports…. in space.

10.  I love this gallery of pumpkins carved with video game characters!  I love the Katamari pumpkin and the Bowser pumpkin the best.
