7 July
Hot hot hot.
I'm as sick of the heat as you are of hearing me whine about it, but yesterday when I got up at 8.15a it was 90º, and when I left work at 7.45p it was 103º.
Joke over, 'kay? Is enough not enough?
The heat is...practically indescribable. It's like, well, you remember the Fish Slapping Dance from Monty Python? Well, the heat isn't Palin with the little small fish, it's Cleese with the giant fish that knocks Palin off his feet.
Walking down the street these days is like being slowly beaten to death by a giant fish wielded by John Cleese.
Happy (blargle-flargle) birthday, Mom!
Of course, her birthday cost me plenty. I went to Coliseum to get her some books, figured I'd spend about $30 or so. None of her mystery series had new books, and I couldn't remember any of the ones that Diane recommended, so I just grabbed anything that looked interesting, with cats or actors or anything.
Then I was kinda glancing around, not like I was gonna buy anything for myself, you understand, but you know, just casually. Then I saw that Stephen Fry had an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot, picked it up, and after that, the deluge.
I got Gilliam on Gilliam (thanks a damn lot, Columbine), I'm a Stranger Here Myself, the new Bill Bryson, The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing, and I finally broke down and got Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
So I spent the planned thirty bucks on Mom, and another $130 on myself. I never claimed to have a will. Good thing, too...
Actually, it is not only my Mom's secret number birthday, it's also my parents' 41st anniversary.
Last year I forgot to send an anniversary card, which really pissed off my Mom, because just because my father is no longer alive doesn't make it any less their anniversary, which is understandable and makes perfect sense, but...
It's really hard to find an appropriate card! Where's the "Happy Anniversary Even Though Your Husband Is Dead" section?
Alright, I just got my fourth complaint about the link colours being too dark and threats of charging me with stronger glasses prescriptions and things, so I'm changing them, but I'm not happy about it. You guys are stifling my creativity, man!
Are you satisfied? Or would you also care for a quart or two of my heart's blood and my first born son? heeheehee...
