First, a quick recap of the past two days. I went to the VA with my dad. We had a four hour drive down, a three hour wait at the hospital, and a four hour drive back with a stop at the old country buffet for lunch. I had green beans, corn, steamed carrots, sweet potato, some kind of mellon, watermellon, salad (o.k. so it was taco salad and had some meat in it), and corn bread. I never new a veggie meal could be so filling. We also stopped at the outlet mall on the way back and I got a couple t-shirts and a pair of pants for school. Yesterday I spent watching t.v. I did compose a poem about the wave pool to the effect of 'I never knew quite how it felt to be a drowning rat'. It can be read at White Foxx: Silver Crow and my page at Fifteen Minutes of Fiction.
Today I got kind of bored so I stole H.'s hightops (isn't it nice when you and your siblings have the same size feet) and went to the St. Louis County Fair with my mom. We went inthe animal tent and I composed a little fair ground ditty titled "All the Bunnies Bite and the Pigeon Laid an Egg" because, honest to God, all the bunnies had "I Bite" signs and one of the pigeons laid an egg. Also the Llama peed and there was a cowboy Napping with the goats in one of the pens. You can read the whole thing at White Foxx: Silver Crow and Fifteen Minutes of Fiction. We went for dinner/lunch after at this little place across from the Hibbing Airport called the Airway Inn. Our waiter was from Jamaica and he was really nice. My mom's friend and my pseudo aunt P. made me compose a poem. It can be read at White Foxx: Silver Crow and Fifteen Minutes of Fiction. There was also a little sketch of a plane I drew on the takeout box. If I remember where I put my camera I may post that as well.
We watched the movie "Swing Vote" at P's house. I noticed the democrat kept changing his position to win the vote and the republican didn't. I got the impression the democrat was a sellout. I don't know if that's what they were going for but that's what I got out of it. We did make it home before midnight, barely, so I should get some sleep.
