September 1, 2024: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

I don't get these whole "people gave a [#] minute standing ovation" to people at film festival stories. First of all, I never want to be in an audience where that's expected of me. Secondly, I feel like this is going towards that thing where they started publishing CEO pay and such. Everyone knows it's not good, but they feel like they need to break the record.

  1. Successful trip to the fair. Butter sculptures and seed art. All the animals. Caught the judging of the milk goats. Like Westminster but … not. All the deep fried food. The waffle burger didn’t disappoint. The waffle tasted like a sour cream Pringle. Wonder why I don’t feel great.

    If your find yourself at msp in G gates there are some fabulous watercolors by Suyao Tian at the end of the line. Really beautiful paintings. What a nice cap to a quick trip to the mother land.

    Next year we’re going to be a bang bang ren fest / state fair. Not.

  2. So about last night.... I watched Zebby struggle mightily with his command of any of his pitches, the man just could not make the ball go where he wanted it to go. He was missing big off the plate and over the plate and paying for every mistake. But I will say he also had some bad luck with a lot batted balls finding holes in the defense. Not the balls that were hit out, though. Those were frigging bombs.

      1. Going to stay at Avila Beach in some rented place with our Italy hiking group (off-year, last year-Sardinia, next year maybe Gran Sasso?).

        After spending a week 4 hours in the future in Iceland, one week in H'istan, and now 3 hours in the past, well, this is why I'm posting at 4AM in the Central Coast.
