How did my blog get torched...
... you ask? Why is it so crispy black and ashen grey? Because I have no air conditioning at my house right now and it, as I will soon as well, spontaneously combusted into flame. It was 106 on Saturday. It may have been 104 or 105 but 1 or 2 degrees matters not when you get past 100. The point being that it was freakin roasting.
As it turns out fans do nothing but push hot air around in that sort of climate. I can't help but have a whole new respect for the engineering that goes into an central air conditioning system. Well, that and they say it's going to be $1,600 to fix. I'm not sure my car is even worth that much.
So long iMac, I've traded in my hopes and dreams of a new computer on comfortable living conditions. It was a tough decision... I sweat it... (couldn't help myself), but the long-term investment of not suffering heat stroke on a nightly basis outweighed a pretty new computer in the end. Blah, priorities.
Last night I actually went to the movies just to enjoy their air conditioning. That's right, I ended up at Pirates of the Caribbean (yes it's still in theaters) but I have no opinion on the movie because I spent the entire time basking in the climate controlled goodness with soda and popcorn.
It's amazing how much ice cream a person eats when their house is a smoltering 98 degrees. You just can't bring yourself to cook things because well... you run the risk of making the house 99 degrees from the evaporating fumes of the microwave when you open the door.
At any rate, I'm done bitching... for now... I'm totally going to Alaska for my vacation.
