I hope that everybody had a nice, relaxing Fourth of July weekend. Me? I went to the San Diego County Fair with
Joelle and her upstairs neighbor GFI (and, of course, Domo). We didn't go on any of the rides or try to win anything on the midway (hello, expensive!), but we definitely tried some nasty fried foods, as is the law when you go to county fairs (OK, maybe it's more of an unspoken "law").
Actually, I have to say that the fried mac & cheese on a stick wasn't too bad. Not great, but not too bad. I mean, really... how good can mac & cheese be? It's mac & cheese.
We also did a little bit of shopping... that's another thing I like about the fair - it's like, informercial central, except you get to actually see the products work (or not) in person. Much more impressive. I think Joelle was on the verge of buying a Sham-WOW knock-off, but ultimately decided against it. Me, I didn't buy anything except a half pound bag of gummi and cinnamon bears. Mmmmmmbears.
If you want to check out my fair pictures, start
here. It was a busy day for Domo.
I've got some other things I'd like to talk about, though...
- So, who watched "Super Password" last night? Was it just me, or was Monique Coleman totally googly-eyed over the second contestant? Seriously, she was totally checking him out all night, as if she was saying "Mmmm Hmmm I sure want a piece of that!" Sadly, she wasn't able to help him win $100k, but I think he could have had a date if he wanted one.
- Speaking of TV... who watches that new show "Swingtown"? Anyone? Anyone? I personally like the show, but I haven't heard anyone else's reactions about it. Are people appalled that they're "glamorizing casual sex and swinging"? Or is it seen as a fun, edgy show... sort of a cross between Boogie Nights and Desperate Housewives? Naturally, I think it's fun and edgy... which makes me scared that they'll take it off the air halfway through the season and replace it with re-runs of Muder She Wrote.
- Totally unrelated to TV... OK, so, I walked down to the local 7-11 yesterday to get a Sunday paper. Yes, I walked. Hey, gas is expensive, and... well, it's not like it's never a nice day for a walk here. Anyway, so I grabbed a paper and a drink, walked back home (it's only a coupla blocks either way), and plopped down in front of the TV to relax a bit. A while later, when it came time to read the paper... no comics. No TV guide. No coupons. No Parade Magazine (don't laugh, I always read Parade!). No opinion section (yeah, I actively seek that out and read it, too). No want ads.
Dude, WTF? I hate when you buy a paper, and some asshole has already gone through it and stolen [whatever sections you wanted to read]. I mean, wha, am I gonna go back to the 7-11 and demand another paper? I could do that, but what if they say TFB? I dunno. I guess I still should have tried it, but really, I feel like I've been ripped off, and there's nothing I can really do about it. Don't you hate when that happens?
- I've avoided mentioning this for a while, lest I "jinx" myself, but it's been four weeks now, going on five, so I figure it's safe to tell you. I've been going back to the gym lately. Yup, after over two years of skipping (save for some previous feeble attempts at going), I'm back on the wagon. And not a moment too soon.
Seriously, I am one weak motherfucker right now.
But my body's adapting pretty quickly (thank gawd). Luckily, being a gym rat for over ten years (before my lazy two years) has paid some dividends in regards to getting back into shape. I know what to do, I know what to expect... I just have to do it.
Oh yeah, and today is marquee Monday. Old, silly "traditions" die hard, don't they? (;
