My apartment is not returning my love. My air conditioning stopped actually cooling sometime earlier today, and now despite the dropping night temperatures outside it's still climbing inside, past 80° at last glance. The two rooms I can sleep in both have windows that look (and listen) out over the busy expressway, so there are definite trade-offs involved in getting a slight breeze inside.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Eek, Matt. Sounds like the moon went into the sign of Foo for you tonight. Hope you got some sleep.
Where's Raq when I really need her? I woke up wondering what Greek keyboards look like....

There are two main types of Greek keyboards, but almost nobody uses the Greek-specific one. The usual one is a QWERTY keyboard, but with the few alphabetical differences. I can type on one of those with only about a 15% drop in typing speed.
Businesses that have a lot of international business, like IKEA, use keyboards that toggle between Greek and Latin characters. I don't know if they also have a Cyrillic function.

Our wings are not tired.
They only named 21 storms. The ones we have left this year are Philippe (who looks big to me), Rita (will rain on me tomorrow), Stan, Tammy, Vince, and Wilma. That would be plenty for me, but when I look at the calendar it doesn't seem likely at this pace. Stupid warm ocean.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hee - the crime fighting actuary. With lasers. Cute.
DH loves this commercial.

It's really hard to imagine a frightening, life-threatening storm named "Stan."
Thanks, Raq! I guess I won't be able to look at one of those and say, "It's all Greek to me."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Housewarming party went nicely. Now we have lots of dessert-type snack food. So much for eating better...

What is even happening?
The Yahoo links are always so deceiving. By the time I click them the next day, it's a crap shoot as to whether or not I'll see the picture the person was linking. I suspect the picture I saw of Halle Berry is not the picture ita was pointing to.
Allyson, insent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yahoo is tricksy, but I linked to IMDB. And, no, it wasn't Halle last night. It was the mother from Malcolm In The Middle.
