God it has been forever. Sorry - work is taking unprecedented amounts of time of LJing away from me. Can you believe it? I sho' cain't. I'm 'bouts to give my boss an ultimatum or something. Shoot!
I wanted to talk about this right after it happened, but I got distracted by food. I will tell now.
I went to a gay potluck with a bunch of gay people this past Thursgay. Ogay, so why I get there at 8:00 pm (when it starts, fully 1.5 hours past my stomach's suggested dinner time) and ain't no one there but some other dude who brought Sweet & Sour Chicken? I had to settle for having the host try to prove to me that Wong Kar-Wai's In The Mood For Love was "absolutely gorgeous." I am not a fan of Wong Kar Wai, I'm sorry to say. Happy Together bored me to tears and Chungking Express I turned off less than halfway through.
Anyways, once people started pouring in around 8:45, the food started rolling in. I was digging into the chicken, all, Mmmm and Yum! And then some dude came all up in my grill all, OMG, I feel so bad for chickens who have to die to become food for humans. And I'm like, What are you talking about? And he was like, Do you know the amount of suffering a chicken goes through before it is put on your plate? And me being the anti-militant-vegetarian that I am, incredulously claim, For your FYI, their suffering is what makes them taste better! And he was like, OMG, how about we torture you?
RIDIKULUS!!!! So I said back, That's dumb. Why would I eat myself? and shook my head and rolled my eyes to symbolize how absurd his retardation was. And then I tenderized him with a slab of pork loin.
Speaking of being anti-militant-vegetarian, here is a picture of me with one of my favorite food groups at the Santa Clara County Fair from the other weekend!
This little piggy is bulimic. He throws up into the white bucket.
I am TOTALLY a County Fair whore. In fact, my pimp thinks I am doing so well workin' it in the local counties, I am upgrading to State fair in a couple of weeks!!! I WIN! Ella Mae better grab on tight to Chuck or me and my exotic tigerlily scent are going to seduce him straight to Guang-Zhou!
Come follow as 2 Asians try to blend in
4 acres of Whiteness!!
I was actually a bit disappointed at this fair. Choi-Yee and I attended with the intentions of winning the Hot Dog Eating contest, the Bubblegum Blowing contest, and the Corsage-Making Contest (wherein all entries must incorporate 5 flowers and the American flag to qualify for the win!!) but we couldn't find the first competition, missed the second contest, and the last was canceled!!!!!! GOSH!! We totally would have won too... Or at least achieved 6th Honorable Mention. I WANT A COUNTY FAIR RIBBON AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!
I had NO CLUE my 11th Grade Physics teacher was into Country Line Dancing!!! Seriously though, we sat here for about 2 hours mesmerized by the caller and his words ("Swing to the left, couples face and bow, ladies drop it like it's hot, then dosey-do!") and the gainful ways these bumpkins danced and frolicked. It was grand.
Either a small child or a midget was under this mascot. No matter which, I had to take a picture with him!!! Ah, love...
This poor little Chinese baby. His parents kept throwing apples at him as he waddled around the mini-orchard in a daze. It was very triggering for me. :(
Ooookay. Anti-Choice people selling little fetus keychains. It would make the best County Fair souvenir ever. I was really angry they allowed these extreme partisan groups to have booths in the fair. They had huge laminated blow-up posters of headless aborted 5th Trimester babies and junk. Imagine eating
fried cheese curds and then seeing pictures of aborted babies! Not cool.
No one watched this bellydancer as she cut her Persian Rug, so I took pity on her and took a picture. She literally stood in this awkward position for about 15 seconds as I fumbled with my camera to take a picture of her. And afterwards, she gave me a lascivious wink! Oh my!
I was going to steal this and bring it home with me, but he old man in the Wendy's booth saw me and beckoned me to spin the wheel instead for a free meal! All I got was a Free Salad coupon. I threw it away in disgust.
Love it! This would totally go with that sparkly-spangled Red White and Blue vest I got the other day!!! Right???
