You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

My AC has been on all day and the house is still 80. Is 68 possible?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I usually set it to 72, and it's an energy saver so it shuts off once it gets that cool.

It's supposed to get cooler tomorrow, yeah? Please?

Only 85 tomorrow. 75 by Tuesday.

I don't think so. I have the a/c running on high and it's still 81 in here.

Though that is a vast improvement over the 87 that it was when I first came home.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

...you keep it at 68 degrees, Allyson??

I thought people in California froze and shattered like glass at those kind of temperatures? I mean, even I only turn my thermostat down to 78° at night, and I'm the most heat-sensitive person out of all the people I'm in daily contact with here.

megan, oh megan...

Would the phrase "you'll soon change your tune" make sense in French? If not, is there another colloquial phrase with a similar meaning?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just got the (almost) best news I could have hoped for this morning.

A friend of mine from Phoenix will be coming for a visit in Israel in the end of 2008/the beginning of 2009. She was my CouchSurfing host, and we got along in a heartbeat, and I missed her so much.

I'm so excited!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My room still hasn't reached 68 degrees.

My apartment is 67°. I'm cold. Wanna trade?

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

I have 82 with no AC, and it's pretty pleasant and I'm looking forward to sleeping with no socks on, for perhaps the fifth or so time this year.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Though someone called from a number I didn't recognise while I was out of the earshot of the phone. I'm not full on the sort of person who calls those numbers back, but it's local and I'm curious. Still, ennui will probably have the better of me.

ita, if that call was yesterday around 5:30 or so, it was probably me. I wanted to know if you wanted to go to a fake '80s party. You were the only person I could think of off the top of my head who'd probably have a selection of dresses that were appropriate.
