Deep-Fried Snickers Bar

The weekend was rather unexceptional, except for my going to the White County Fair with my mom and my uncle. I avoided the meat pavillions, because they sort of depress me, but I enjoyed the horses. And the dairy pavillion had, for some reason, llamas in it. Very good-tempered llamas, although it was the opening day of the fair, so they may get progressively less good-tempered as the fair goes on. I don't know if they're planning to milk the llamas or what.

I did eat a deep-fried Snickers bar there. I expected something really over the top, but it sort of ends up a little like a redneck pastry. It actually tasted a lot like a chocolate croissant. I wouldn't eat it often, but I liked it a lot.

There was a poor little calf in the petting zoo that looked so sad that it made me want to be nice to all animals. This is the reason that I can never, ever go to the zoo.

I did finish reading Kelly Link's Magic For Beginners. The title story was my absolute favorite, in part because I still am not sure what happens in it -- a common reaction on my part to Kelly Link stories, and oddly enough, the reason I enjoy them so much -- but mostly because it describes a mythical TV show, The Librarian, that takes place entirely in a magical library, and seems to be part Buffy, part The Prisoner, and yet wholly original. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. And, honestly, it's not just me.

Not much else to say.
