Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You have a window unit, though, don't you?

I do, but only in my bedroom, and I only use it when I'm in bed. I am a cheap and/or hearty Yankee.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yes, I am a huge fan of AC. My apartment has central air, and it's on the bottom floor, surrounded on three sides by trees and a building. I do not envy my upstairs neighbor her summer power bill.

I've lived around here for nearly 26 years. You'd think I'd be use to it.

During the brief time I lived in an apartment building I was able to make it through winter with my heat completely turned off. The other units warmed my place enough for someone like me who likes the cold.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I would spontaneously combust without a/c of some sort.

I have a shrine to Willis Carrier.

I was never any good in the heat, to the point of fainting a number of times in my youth, before I was old enough to insist that I was not going to stand in the heat. Now I'm on medication that causes hot flashes. One virtue in living in the South is that it's the land of central air.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The Folklife Festival has started; one of the featured cultures/countries is Wales. I can't help wondering if there's going to be any Tom Jones involvement ... he IS Welsh, isn't he?

Our corporate cafeteria had an outdoor BBQ today. I got ribs and OMG am I stuffed. Sooooo, good. I wish I had sat outside to eat, it was so beautiful outside.

Oooh, ribs--that sounds good!

I just settled for grilled cheese and fries.

I didn't really watch the first one for character development.

P-C, I stumbled across a review that I think does a pretty good job with the strengths and weaknesses of the movie. For me the humor fell painfully flat, but that's subjective. I also had trouble following the robot on robot violence, but that might just be, you know, oldness. Bear in mind, I also saw the movie by accident and not intention.
