[roadtrip] It's 6pm and I'm tired already.

Granted, we just drove about 200 miles (to Sacramento and back, via the North Bay instead of East Bay), ate all kinds of bad food and washed it all down with a late lunch/early dinner at Sonic in Napa, and there's at least thirty degrees' difference between there and here. So I will share with you just a few pictures of our trip to the State Fair:




Yes, FOG, even in the late afternoon. The top of the tower's there somewhere...





From the County Gallery: Just in case you were wondering what there is to do up in Humboldt County, way up north.




Bacon. Chocolate. Need I say more?


More pix later...

Oh, and can I say it was rather weird to finish off a sausage link made of an animal I saw about five minutes later at one of the petting zoos? O_O

[meme] Day 22. A song that you listen to when you’re sad

Yeah, I'm a bit late on this, sorry!

Hmm...I think I may have to jump into the wayback machine for this one, since I'm not really one to have a soundtrack for sadness anymore...

The Cure, "The Figurehead". Pretty much anything off the Pornography album fits this one--it, along with Depeche Mode's Black Celebration, got a lot of heavy listening my junior and senior years in high school when I was the morose bastard that felt sorry for myself.

On the plus side, I worked out that anger/depression/wallowing by learning how to play the basslines to this album, so at least some good came out of it! :)

[meme] Day 23. A song that you want to play at your wedding

Well, being that our wedding was 5 years ago and we did it privately, and we didn't have a big blowout until a few months later, I'll post one of the odder songs that was on the cds we had on shuffle in lieu of a deejay:

Quite possibly the goofiest love song ever written, hands down. ;)


Oh, and if you're curious, I already posted "our song" here, on our anniversary. :)
