The Texas State Fair...

...is one of my favorite things in life.

I love it.

I love Big Tex...

I love the Texas Star...


I love the new fried food that comes out every year, this year it's butter...


I love the petting zoo, the midway, the car show, the exhibits about JFK and The Battle Of San Jacinto, and I love the heat.

My parents are there as I type this. I hope they enjoy it. I hope they try the fried butter. I hope they sit in all the new cars. I hope they feed the llamas. I hope they learn about Texas History.

I miss you State Fair of Texas. I miss you Fair Park. One of these Octobers I'll make it back to Texas and, you should know, you will be the reason.

That and I'll have a job where it doesn't matter if I leave town at any time because I'm rich and taking days off doesn't mean I don't get paid, it means I have a day off.

**Update** The parents did try the fried butter. It apparently tastes like a dinner roll with butter. So there ya go.

New Obsession

This coffee place blew my mind a little bit:

I had past the shop a few times but assumed that they only took cash and I never carry cash. I pretty much assume any place that looks "emo" and "hippy" only takes cash. I was wrong. They take Visa and Mastercard. But that's beside the point.

The coffee is pretty decent especially seeing as how they roast it themselves. There is a coffee roaster right next to the bar where they guy brews the coffee. It's incredible! Not only that but they don't just keep a pot full of coffee waiting for you. No no. When you order a cup of coffee (regular old coffee) he grinds the beans right then for your cup and your cup only. THEN he brews it in a cup!! It's crazy!!! No machines needed. It is done in something similar to this contraption:

Only replace the red and black mugs with pretty classic white, the steel box with a plank of wood and the styrofoam cups with pretty white mugs. It was amazing. I felt like my cup of coffee was something special made only for me. Because it was kind of.

It was a little pricey and the pastries were not tasty (at least the brownie sample I had was not tasty) BUT the coffee was pretty cool. I am impressed.

I've had coffee roasts I like better than the one I was given but, regardless, the process to make it made it the best cup of coffee ever. Yeppers indeedy.

Hollywood, Is Everything Okay?

These movies, and their titles, are real:





Judge accordingly.

Oh Dear...

There are a lot of things I could say so I'm just not going to say anything. Oh, except I think this is from Wife Swap which I never watch. This clip is a great example of why I don't watch Wife Swap. Okay, now I'm not going to say anything.
