I have nothing to say

I'm just chugging along with the internship and the reading and the life.  I'm sure I could muster an opinion if necessary, but I feel too lethargic to do much.  S and I have air conditioning, but just knowing that it's fifty million degrees outside is enough to make you want to sit on the couch and molt.

Supposedly, it's supposed to cool down here by Friday, which would be ever so delightful, since we're trekking to the Taste this year.  (My mom has lived in this area for all of her life and has never been to the Taste, which is baffling.  Also, S has never been, and what better place for the two of us to eat.  He can get the pizza and the pasta, and I can concentrate on all the foods I can't eat when I'm with him.  It's like eating at a Thai restaurant and an Italian restaurant and a Greek restaurant and so on and so on.)  I know that there is negative rumbling out there about how awful the Taste is, and I feel that, I really do.  In general, tourists suck.  And tourists are out in force right now in Chicago, and even I get annoyed by it, and I don't live there.

However, I also like to eat.  And that's what the Taste is.  An eating-fest.  Nothing wrong with that.  In fact, my hometown has a Taste-esque event in the fall, and I've been gone to that before, even though it's nothing special, and it's basically adulty people standing around drinking wine.  (It's also a wine festival.)  Also, I went to my hometown's gigantically famous summer festival just to eat.  Yep, I like food.  I want to go to a county fair in Wisconsin that my mom has spoken of just to partake of the many cheese products (cheese curds, mmmmmmmmm) as well as the various products you can buy fried, on a stick.  Sad, right?  My love of fried foods knows no bounds.  (Except for fried chicken.  Don't so much like that.)

Is it any wonder I have a weight problem?

I went yesterday, and it was awful in all the ways that the Taste is awful and wonderful in all the ways that it's wonderful.

Mmmmm... cheese curds.

I went to school in WI & fell in love with them (I had never even heard of them before I moved there). Have you ever had a fried cheese curd? Heaven! :)
