37.7 hardly sounds impressive at all! But we would get to use negative numbers much sooner in the winter....
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
ita, haven't you worn the corset more than once? I hate it when rules spring into being with no precedent.

But just think how hot 40 would be! And yet, still not as impressive as 100.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's actually a written policy? I think that's kind of hilarious.
I think it's hysterical, and I really want to know what prompted it.
Of course, now I'm reading and rereading the guidelines and getting totally paranoid. It's the blouse thing. You know how there are dressy tops that if they were plain cotton knits would be t-shirts? But maybe they're silk knit, or have pouffey sleeves or something and I figure they're okay...
I'm going to be second guessing that for a while.

Yeah, but they just published this over the weekend. And my boss was really nice about the whole talk. So I'm okay with it, really.

A friend of my sister's is moving to China, where Facebook is disallowed. I'm guessing that's the same for other social networking sites. Bummer. Was looking forward to following her adventures. She's a teacher.
We're supposed to have hit 100, too. Am staying inside. I haven't had much online time lately, so...

That's pretty funny.

I'm writing copy for a Regency-set historical romance today, so now I want to frame the whole dress code document in Regency terms -- "No scandalous decolletage, if you please, and be modest in your presentation of wrist bone and throat..."

It hit 101 at the airport. Currently claims to be 104 out towards Catonsville. And whoever determines the forecast the weather widget uses had better just be fucking around with the 108 forecast for tomorrow. 108 is bad with no humidity. We have lots of humidity.
edit: airport just updated to be 104. Seriously.

62° in Emeryville.
Yet, it was so hot this weekend.

Ann, that's a ferret.
100 in DC. Was 102 a while ago.
Thanks to all for the wishes for Max. Still waiting on the detailed report. (Which is actually coming from Colorado, not the West Coast. But time zones still an issue. Also that the vet treating Max is taking an extra-long weekend.)
