shhhh.. Robin! Just because it's SoCal doesn't mean we dont have weather pain!

I can smell fish cooking. It smells good. I must be strong, reminding myself of the escoveitch fish I will eat in Jamaica, as well as plain fry fish and festival, ackee and saltfish, and maybe even rundown mackerel with boiled green bananas if I'm good.

That so didn't help.

I need to get up and plug my phone in before it starts plaintively beeping. Don't wanna.

Um, short? No shaved nape, combed forward with spikey bangs. It's pretty close to a classic pixie cut, which makes me laugh and laugh given how much I hated this cut when I was ten.

Matt made me a hot toddy - this is soothing my soul. Hate being cranky due to mild physical discomfort.

Buffistas in more Northerly climes are all snickering at our wussy California temperature-related whining right now.

Yes, yes we are. Where we=me and my cat.

Well, you know, if the houses were actually warm people wouldn't be whining so. I don't care about the outside weather. Just the inside temperature.

More Sexyback mockage. Hee!

Do you have heat? Or is it not working? (Not mocking questions. Lots of people around here don't have A/C because it's not needed very often.)

It's more of an insulation thing, ChiKat. Just like architecture here gets away with pretending it won't rain, somehow the box that heats up like an oven on a sunny summer afternoon seems to now leak heat like a sieve.

It's really hard to get my apartment evenly warm.

Question about the housing bust. I look at it as the only way I might ever afford a house in LA. So I'm behind it, in general. I know that some of the collateral effects are job losses in arenas dependent on mortgaging, etc, but overall, the bust is bad for America? And the boom was good?

No place I lived in SoCal was really prepared for any kind of chill in the air.

Now? It's really damn cold outside here but really quite easy to keep comfy inside. I am all about well-built and actually insulated housing that gives me actual climate control.

Of course summer proved that plans for the winter don't translate to dealing with heat outside as it was hotter than Satan's nape when we went all heatwave.
