Bellies are funny. Penguins can slide around on them. I think that's great.

Fabienne: I was looking at myself in the mirror.
Butch: Uh-huh?
Fabienne: I wish I had a pot.
Butch: You were lookin' in the mirror and you wish you had some pot?
Fabienne: A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are sexy.
Butch: Well you should be happy, 'cause you do.
Fabienne: Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot! I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna when she did "Lucky Star," it's not the same thing.
Butch: I didn't realize there was a difference between a tummy and a pot belly.
Fabienne: The difference is huge.
Butch: You want me to have a pot?
Fabienne: No. Pot bellies make a man look either oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The rest of you is normal. Normal face, normal legs, normal hips, normal ass, but with a big, perfectly round pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes too small to accentuate it.
Butch: You think guys would find that attractive?
Fabienne: I don't give a damn what men find attractive. It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.

One of the best things about having friends is that they boost you up. Agreeing to boost each other up, that's a big deal.

State Fair

Will and I went to the State Fair as soon as I got back from Delhi again. It was a good re-introduction to America.

Miracle of Life Birthing Center





Fair Foods





Midway (Carnie games and funhouses and spinning rides!)



Jukebox Funhouse





Das Cuckoo Haus














Another stereotype Haus!



We decided to try to take pictures of all of the things that remind us of our friends. Tim got the bacon. Kath got this weird superstrong woman ride:



More rides



The blue ribbon scarecrow?



THIS SHOULD HAVE WON:



Seed art









Fried food!



Competition bunny (Aja's snap)



4 H



These sheep are for you, Kathryn.



This was the most photogenic being at the Fair.



Take my picture?

Lykke Li - Little Bit

This song might be old but I still like both of these videos.

Live:

This one reminds me of my pals and the crummy coffee shop where I work and where my friends sometimes play music. It makes me think of fun times playing with maracas. I really like the part where she adds percussion by dancing so the instruments she's wearing strung around her neck clang together.

Official:

This one reminds me of different pals who are real good dancers and always look great. I really like the overexposure. My room last year would be sunshiney like that a lot. This year around 4 o'clock I get some nice overexposure sun if I happen to be around.
