move out and draw fire

Weirdness. A guy I did a logo for a couple years ago is starting a comic book (propaganda for his cause, designed to advertise his org.) and is using my logo as the main character's insignia. Odd to see my work so out of context.

Although it was a pretty odd project anyway.

The heat wave over Utah has broken, it looks like. We're not supposed to break 90 today. I actually shivered a little this morning, it felt glorious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday Kat!!

ION, gronklies. Sting is telling me that we are spirits in the material world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder about the ventilation of the apartments around me. At least two on my floor have been running AC all night. Me, in a tank and boxers, I'm a wee bit chilled, but at least I didn't have to wear socks to bed last night.

I know I run hot, but not that much. I must be lucky with the cross ventilation.

Happy Birthday, Kat!

I'm lucky in my apartment. Since it's a wee small little hermit's cave of a place, it's relatively cheap and easy to cool. It was 98F yesterday, and I left the AC off all day, but kept the blinds closed and it was nearly comfortable when I got home. I just had to run the AC for about a few hours until the temperature dropped for the night.

My folks didn't have a summer cottage. But then we lived in a smallish town right next to the north end of Lake Huron. When you can bike to the beach from your house anyway, a summer cottage on a lake is kind of redundant. Since retirement, they've talked about getting a cottage on one of the smaller MI lakes for the summer, but Mom's cancer has probably put paid to that plan. At the moment I'm dreaming of owning a first home, so summer or winter cottages are rather out of reach.

Oh yeah, space shuttle. Anyone have a link for live coverage? One that won't crap out under the load moments before launch?

Happy Birthday, Kat!!!

And yes, Teppy, that's the one in the Ferry Building.

Yum. As I remember, it was quite good.

ION, gonna be 100 again here today. I am SO over this weather.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have tasted good produce for the first time in ages. I'll pay more for fruits and veggies that taste like, like, fruits and veggies. I don't care if they're not the perfect shade of red or yellow or green. I don't care if I have to cut off bruised bits.

Welcome to the yummy side. I love organic/"natural" food.

Weather has finally broken here, as well. I was kind of chilly on my walk to the bus stop, and it was glorious.

I was just outide. If it was noon early afternoon-ish, it would be really nice out. But for 10 am, I just know it's going to get hellacious.
