Jesse, I haven't installed it yet, but I got something from Home Depot that's supposed to help support the a/c. This: [link]

ETA: the link doesn't work, apparently. It's an A/C support that's on the website.

I got all cleaned and prepped in anticipation of having to leave, so I might as well make use of it for something fun, no?

Good call.

There's a whole website of pictures of stuff people use to prop up their air conditioners, instead of buying things like that, bon. It's very funny.

I'm just going to stick to my original plan of bringing bubbly to the party. Oh, which I have to get today, since I don't think my local liquor store is open tomorrow.

Hey, today's mid-day Dog Whisperer features a Jindo that is aggressive in the house.

I'm trying to watch this AND the Tennis match on NBC. Difficult.

I think I've decided on Poseidon.

I have no idea what reviews have been, but I figure the effects are probably good, and it could be fun to compare it to the original. Well, what I remember of the original.

I'm just going to stick to my original plan of bringing bubbly to the party.

I think that's an excellent plan. Always an excellent plan, really.

Jars, yes, NAGPRA controls, but only when the remains are found on federal land. California law would basically require the remains to be handled the same way the federal law would, but the show didn't get into that.

Frankly I have no idea why the FBI was involved in this case at all, looking at it. And at the least they should have brought in someone from BIA or the Interior Dept. to give them a better overview.

I still fantasize about writing an X-Files casefile from the point of view of a DOI attorney...

I thought that it was Federal because the murder occured at a National museum/park site?

Ah, was it? Okay, that counts.

Which negates even more the characterization of the archaeologist, since he damned well knew all of this. Federal archaeologists are half lawyer, they have to be. Stupid.

don't know why I haven't had an air conditioner fall out the window yet

Air conditioner victim.

I have yogacized and now I think I'm going to get me some lunch. Then perhaps a festive afternoon of house-cleaning. The fun never ends!

Mrph. I had my first bout of insomnia in ages and ages. Luckily, I had an obsession to keep me busy: a/c!

It's now freezing up such that the compressor won't turn off and I think it is filling the vent with frozen, because the output of the vents gets less and less and less. If I cut off the compressor at the breaker and leave the fan on, the air output slowly increases. So that's the experiment I was running at 3 am. FUN.

Insomnia with a project, even an unpleasent one, is so much less awful.

At least it is cool out now.

I need to go out to get quarters for laundry and run a few errands. And I need to buy some hot weather food, since I haven't had any around and the result has been fast food or barely eating.
