another gripe

dear august in portland:

do you know what i bought today?

a DOWN COMFORTER. warmth level 4.

why? because last night was COLD and tonight will be too.

did you know it was 102 in austin today with a heat index of 108? why can't you take a little bit of that away from them?

that's all.

ps - why does my computer beep at me everytime i type "from"?

conversations with the fuzzy sweater

fuzzy sweater (fs): *yawn* heeeeeeyy shannon... wha... why are you pulling me out? isn't it, uh...

me: isn't it 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a beau... bal... sum... um, July 31st? why yes, yes it is.

fs: uhm... *awkward silence*

me: no, it's not ironical. it's ridiculously necessary.

here's portland's wholly deserved WHAT. THE. FUCK.

almost...

i almost called in a "mental health" day today to stay snuggled in bed listening to the rain and basking in the 68 degree weather. you read that right - SIXTY-EIGHT degrees. a full 40 degrees cooler than what the thermometer said 3 weeks ago!!

S.I.X.T.Y. E.I.G.H.T.

WOO!
