The State Fair (at best)

I went. I ate the fried cheesecake. It's been four hours. I'm still cramping.

Republican Day at the fair. Pretty empty, no?















Life-sized Abraham Lincoln and his cow carved in BUTTER. But does his head bobble?




















Even Jesus had a booth...




















Four weeks to go. I'm bored.

  1. Bored of your research or of Illinois? If it's the former, I hate to tell you that this does not improve with time. If it's the latter, I would go to the St. Louis zoo. It is unfortunate you are so far from the Lincoln Park zoo, as I've heard great things about it and (according to the website) they have pygmy slow lorises (which are about as cute as primates get), but the St. Louis zoo looks good too and seems to have black-and-white ruffed lemurs (which are also quite cute) plus I think it's free to get in. Of course, you're probably sick of driving, and going to zoos all over the place to look at primates is kind of a personal problem of mine...
