After ten days, the local fair has moved on. What a wild ride it’s been! Over those ten days, my favorite person and I have eaten some weird food, been too cold because we misjudged the weather, ridden a bunch of rides, seen some huge concerts, some smaller concerts, robotics competitions, superdogs, local wrestling, and even hopped on a mechanical bull. A nap might be in order, but then I could do another ten days, easy.

Best food so far? The Ube bun hamburger from the Filipino food truck. Best ride? The Mach 3 that spun me around so very high up in the sky. Best concert? Tom Morello, although July Talk was pretty cool, too. Best free promotional thing at the fair? Nerds kept giving out free packs of Gummy Clusters, and now I have eaten my weight in them.

While I try to get my brain out of fair mode, it’s time for — The Queue.

The local fair is in town! By the time you’ve read this, I’ll have already been on three different days and seen the sights, been to concerts, and eaten terrible(wonderful) food.

So far, I’ve had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich made out of a maple donut, a street corn-covered jumbo hot dog, giant deep-fried cheese curds, and there are still so many more days to try the avocado ice cream and ramen-rrito and every other wonderful(awful) food crime.

While I try and figure out if deep fried pop-tarts are worth it, it’s time for — The Queue!

Sometimes to stay cool, you just gotta get in a big pool. Whether or not that pool is filled with healing mud, that’s really a personal preference.

I went to an outdoor pool with my favoritest person over the weekend, and it was a lovely way to beat the heat. Followed closely by some tropical beverages at a Tiki Bar. Which is a pretty great one-two punch of staying cool.

I’m staying at my Mom’s house while she is taking a big trip. Feeding the fish, watering the lawn, and mowing said watered lawn. Y’know, house stuff. Don’t worry, Bacardi has my roommate looking after him and making sure he gets his soups and feasts most fancy.

It’s not even that far away from my house, but I always like to play it up — which annoys my favorite person a little bit. I know it’s only 25 minutes away, but that’s like forever!

It’s both Canada Day and Independence Day this week!

A good portion of North America is about to go to a big party and play in the sun while maybe blowing up a small portion of their country. All I’m most reminded of right now is that I don’t really have a Canada Day outfit that’s all red and white, so I guess my red shorts will have to do. If it wasn’t going to be super hot, I could wear my hockey jersey, which is about as Canadian as anything. It would’ve been more Canadian if the Oilers had won, but alas.

A full season of fun in the sun! Or if you’re in Canada, a full month of fun in the sun, and then we’ll be back to a chill in the air. That’s if we’re lucky! We could also spend the whole time under a smoky sky from wildfires nearby.

That’s a problem for future us to deal with, until then it’s time for a nice relaxing beach day!

While I get extra sunscreen, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s just a regular old Monday. You’ve asked questions, and I’ve answered them. I haven’t even said anything as wildly contentious as I did last week! Although I still stand by it, some of those classes could lose a bit of extra weight in their midsection.

Check out my new, slightly used copy of Warcraft 3’s collector’s edition! It’s so shiny and full of great art and fun little side bits.

I got it for a song and a half, too, so I’m pretty happy to have it up on my shelf. It’s even got the original CD key, so I wonder if I could install it on a computer without the internet and play the very base version of the game before all of the patches and such tweaked things. It’d be interesting to find out!

While I see if I still have a computer with a cd tray, it’s time for — The Queue!
