Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I slept a lot this weekend. I also went to the Santa Clara County Fair to see Ozomatli and marvel at the human spectacle of thousands of people gravitating to a free event featuring fried/frosted foods, shaky carnival rides, livestock, crap-for-sale*, and patriotic performance pieces. If you ever get your hands on David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, the essay "Getting Away from Already Being Pretty Much Away from It All" has a great description of the Illinois State Fair that applies to most every fair I've been to and is humbling in its illumination of the many different worlds America encompasses (and that I perpetually forget exist).


*Somehow I couldn't bring myself to spend the $1 required to obtain a green teddy bear with "MINNEASOTA" stitched across the back.
