Purely Random
Picking up stuff around the house, looking for places to put what’s not trashed. At Target and see a seven drawer thing that looks promising. Needs assembly. No problem. Electric screwdriver at home. Have a 10% off coupon for Target, but it’s also at home. Buy anyway. Home with the drawer thing and go to workbench. No electric screwdriver. Look everywhere, and then everywhere else, twice, at least. Gone. Who knows? Last night noticed first fireflies of season swimming in the air. Yes, Kansas summer (i.e. humidity) is finally here. Rented 50 First Dates. Better than expected. Barrymore/Sandler chasing Ryan/Hanks as cutest screen couple. Who’s gonna mow the yard this time? Maybe nobody. Like I said, Kansas summer… The new Iraqi Prime Minister comes across damn good. Saw him on Sunday morning talk show. Was thinking how much better he presents than Bush or Rumsfeld. How does Rumsfeld even still have his job? He’s one reason I thought I might have to abandon Bush and vote for the other guy. Then I heard Kerry was considering Gephart for Veep. Well, back to Bush. Or, hey, there’s Nader. Pretty sad when the criteria is to vote for the one I can feel the least dirty about giving a vote to. Roddick and Federer, on the other hand, put on a class act, both during the match and after. Best post-match interviews I’ve seen in ages. “I threw everything I had at him, including the kitchen sink, but he went in the bathroom and came out with the tub.” Come on, he had that prepared ahead of time, right? Either way, pretty good improv, under the circumstances. No smoking in Lawrence since July 1, except outside, your home, or your motel room. No fireworks, either, although there are die-hards. And, we’re having witnesses in drug cases getting shot at in the streets in broad daylight. No kidding. They rammed her car head on and jumped out blasting away. She escaped. As I have often said, you just can’t get quality work in Lawrence.
:gangster:

Okay, so we’re approaching stupid hot. Yay! So does this mean I have to carry around one of those little towellettes to swab my glistening brow like in Hong Kong? That was pretty cool, until your little towel got all soggy and gross. Can’t wait to melt…
John says:
Don’t know about them Hong Kong towelettes. Might be worth a try, but as far as I know there’s nothing for it but to get inside where there’s A/C. Or acclimate.
Failure to acclimate –> :faint:

i noticed the 90 degree weather with chances of thunderstorms meaning 80% humidity. fantastic. i checked the 10 day forecast as well. i’m stupid excited.
couldn’t see any fireworks in sf…oh wait i didn’t try. we lounged about in our pj’s and then went dancing. it would have been too cold, i think to go out and watch them by the bay anyhow. silly foggy weather.
John says:
Thunderstorms again last night. We’re saturated. The swamp has returned to the back yard. I think today or tomorrow we’re supposed to be done with rain for awhile, though.
