one for the ages...

This weekend has been a blur so far. After finishing my shelf exam on Friday, had a blast chillin' at socal's (bar) playing darts and shuffleboard. For future reference, don't taste the shuffleboard powder. It's not salt, or sugar, or sand...and it'll dry the shit out of your throat. Then off to willie's for middle of the night chili this and that, plus onion rings that were much more like onion donuts.

Anyhow, today was amazing. Went to the the state fair with dathinker and his lil sis. Had a blast playing with the cows and goats...they're quite beautiful. Had some funnel cake. Went to the superhero exhibit where the guy who played the hulk from the back in the day movie was signing, taking pictures and all that good stuff. He was buff. Saw an amazing local art exhibit. Walked by a muscle man contest where I saw the buffest 70 year old man period. The sun went down and the glowing lights came on. It is my new happy place. It was a rather grand sight from the giant ferris wheel, apparantly the largest one on the west coast. Topped it off by making the lil sis go on a drop from the a tower, scream at the top of your lungs ride. Walked home and watched Margaret Cho. These summer days, make me feel fine...jasmines something.

ps. I feel incomplete. It's weird how things change. For example, people are perfectly happy before having kids. If they lose the kids, they're miserable for the rest of their lives. Similar effect with significant others, perhaps not to the degree of previous mention, but enough to be a drag on your day.
