OK, I now have time to personally report on the Australian battered potatoes at the San Diego fair. But before I get to that, let me tell you about the rest of the day, leading up to the potatoes. As soon as we got to the fair, we headed straight to the stage where the legendary Jack Jones was performing. For those of you who don't recognize the name (like I didn't), he's famous for many songs, but the one I recognized was the theme for "The Love Boat". If that still doesn't ring a bell, he also performs the "Old Navy" theme song, which is actually just "The Love Boat", with the words "Old Navy" in their place. Anyway, it was quite a sight, watching the aged performer flirt with his elderly groupies in the audience. From there, we went on a window shopping spree through all kinds of booths and kiosks. There was one massive tent devoted to spas, which have gotten pretty fancy over the years. Many of these models included a TV and DVD player in them. Apart from that, most of the booths were selling things that you could normally only buy on TV. I've never seen so many 'miracles' all in one place. Which brings us up to the battered potatoes. That's right, they cut the potato long-ways. Imagine the biggest ruffle you've ever had, but not curled up. Then, they batter it like it's fried chicken, and they deep fry it. Then, it's smothered in cheese and/or ranch dressing. It was tasty, but after one bite, I immediately became fat. Or maybe it was the funnel cake I had earlier. Anyway, we topped off the evening with a few songs from David Cassidy himself. And yes, he still thinks that he is a teen idol, but I think the best he can hope for is to be a teen-at-heart idol.

On another note, we are now living in our new apartment. The refrigerator is safely in place. I'm all hooked up in my office. We've got the stereo hooked up, with the exception of having TiVo connected to a phone line. We won't get the phone line installed until July 17th! Isn't that ridiculous? We went to see our first movie in Hollywood yesterday, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. It was not as good as the first one, that much I can tell you. I did spot my first celebrity, Clea DuVall, whom I recognized from the movie '13 Conversations About One Thing,' but whose name I didn't know until I came home and looked it up on IMDB.

Well...see ya later!
