Indigestion

Everything edible at the State Fair of Texas is fried, or tastes like it has been fried. I have survived my trip to High School Day at the State Fair, but I am undeniably a fat, lazy American pig. Here's today's menu:

• 1 Fletcher's Cornydog
• 1 Fletcher's Jalapeno Cornydog with Cheese
• Partial order of french fries
• 1 substantial bite of fried Peanut Butter and Jelly and Banana Sandwich
• 1 order of Deep Fried Coca Cola
• 2 bites of Frozen Key Lime Cheesecake on a stick

It was good, but now I am so fucking full I can't stand myself. I suppose that I should add to that list the 2 pepto-abyssmal I took to fight the waves of nausea I'm currently suffering.

For the record, the fried pbj&b sandwich was very good; the bread tasted a lot like a Monte Cristo sandwich, but with pbj and 'nanners instead of meat. Elvis was definitely on to something there. On the other hand, the deep fried coke was excessive. They were essentially cola-flavored doughnut holes with straight cola syrup drizzled on them topped with whipped cream. Plain cake doughnut holes with powdered sugar and whipped cream would have been just as good; actually, just order a mess of beignets from Cafe du Monde for a better culinary treat.

One more note: if the powers that be that decide what frozen treats to offer are reading this, bring back the frozen key lime pie on a stick. The key lime flavored cheesecake was weak to be perfectly honest.

Some piece of shit student stole my fucking iPod from my filing cabinet at school. They had to have done it while I was out of the room, and there's only one time of the day that I'm not in the room: fourth period.

I don't blame the teacher that uses my class during fourth. When I'm standing at my door (per the administration's directive, to ensure the little darlings get to class), I know that a suspicious device could be detonated in the room with little chance that I'll see it happen. That given, I was not in my class at any point in the day. I was in the auditorium, making sure that my classes sat through an incredibly meaningful review of the student code of conduct. That means that with the exception of 4th period my room was locked all day long.

What's worse is that the only reason that I stashed it in my filing cabinet (under a pile of papers, no less) was that I didn't want to be in violation of the student code of conduct while students were reviewing the student code of conduct--no electronic devices or hand-held video games are allowed in DISD schools during school hours. The only reason that I even had the thing at school was that I use it for class: presentations, music, television rebroadcasts, etc.

Dang. It's enough to make a fellow hate public school kids.
