As I am fond of telling anybody who will listen, I live in the House That Science Forgot, wherein the laws of thermodynamics seem to be suspended so that this place is like a brick oven all through the summer, retaining the heat even at night when the temperature drops outside — yet in the winter it is chronically colder indoors here than out and I occasionally find myself freezing to death.
Right now, for example, I find that I am dripping in sweat from the normally low aerobic impact task of typing out this blog post. So much so that this is probably as far as this post goes. So in case anyone gets to wondering what it is I’m up to this week, the answer is: sweating, profusively and unattractively. That, and eating strawberries. If any of you take pity on me and want to send a frozen margarita bucket my way, I will definitely not object.

this? is why i hate the summer. although i have no complaints about it so far this year; i think we may have traded weather patterns with you.

I’m going to just live in my bathtub, filled with ice cubes and chilled water, until this fucking insufferable heat wave passes. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH FANS TO MAKE THIS OKAY.

Ugh. We’re melting and frying too, but at least we have A/C. Hey, maybe you should just spend the rest of the summer here.

The heat is one thing, but the humidity… That’s the DEVIL

Strawberry margaritas sound very good right now.

Did you say SWEATY? Hum. Tell me more.

I almost hate to say it for fear of bringing on a jinx … but central Ohio has been very agreeable this summer. In summers past feat as simple as tying my shoes might lead to so much sweating I’d have to change shirts.
This year, so far, it’s been pretty pleasant. (Though there’s always the chance August will be a total b*tch.)

I wonder. Can someone sweat attractively?
I love hearing about your crazy house. Hang in there!

Hmm. Hot in summer, you say? And it’s cold in the winter? That goes against the natural order of human things!

*I* can sweat attractively. I’ll post pictures.

OK, I understand bike wrecks interfering with typing, and the need to travel so you can drink with people when you could be blogging instead, but seriously? It is time you stop sweating now.
Also, Matt? Now you’ve created an expectation you’re going to have to fulfill.
