I know the feeling. I used to be called Oscar since I was covered in green after trimming.

@vkimo: I completely understand. No time of the year for me inspires more feelings of nostalgia than Fair Week, and that includes Christmastime. I think some of the reason for that is the fact that Fair Week was a bit of a ritual for us in school, in that it took place a week or two prior to our return to school for the new year. It served as a "last hurrah" for us, and we loved it. It was usually the first time since the end of the school year that we would see some of our classmates ( or crushes ). It was magical.

Now, I can set up a booth there for our company every year and have a reason to be there... wandering around, thinking about all the memories wrapped up in that hallowed ground. Occasionally I see people from high school or my youth that I haven't seen since, well, probably last year's Fair. It is probably the thing I look forward to most every year as far as events or occasions - just for myself. Many things are more important with regard to family occasions, but just for me... it's the pinnacle of the year.

@TDitH: I'm really hoping to be able to catch that RiffTrax Godzilla special, but that is one of the days of the Fair (as mentioned above, ) so who knows.

@Ben: I HATE weedeating. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE!!!

They are doing 2 showings one on the 14th and another on the 19th (My Birthday)

Today we are down in Huntington WV shopping and catching the second Planes movie. It was better than the first one. More entertaining and you care a bit more for the characters. Also, Curtis Armstrong has a character in this one (you might know him better as "Booger" in Revenge of the Nerds or Lane Myers' friend in Better Off Dead).

Were they in that big of a hurry to make up for the first Planes movie?

Today was pretty laid back. Went to a community garage sale and snagged 2 GBA SPs, Pokemon Blue, Yellow, Silver, Sapphire, Ruby and Pearl for like 25$ And I programmed my phone as a remote for the AC.

dang vkimo, that sounds like a goldmine like what you'd see at a goodwill. jealous! haha

I was pretty stoked! A copy of Yellow version alone costs 25$ on eBay. The GBAs don't have wall chargers though so I'll have to buy some.

Talk about a gold mine dude

You just have it all, don't ya?
