Just checkin’ in. I’m on information overload tonight so I don’t have much brainspace left for this blog.
Good day, though. Yes, we’re still mid-heat-wave, which pretty much amounts to the whole city wandering around saying things like “How’re you likin’ this heat?” and “I hear the worst is yet to come,” and everyone being in a notably worse mood, despite the fact that they claim they all love the heat. This is a city that’s come to define itself by rain and, in its extended absence, must begin a frustrated search for an identity. The hot weather also means that everyone spent the weekend getting drunk, because it’s an absolute imperative to go outside and ENJOY this heat (read: drink outside), so everyone is a little bit hungover and off and grumpy for the start of the week.
Luckily, I have AC in my apartment and at my work, so I don’t have to deal with the worst of it. I love my little AC unit. It’s a precious angel sent from heaven to make my life better than everyone else’s.
After work, I went to my friend Grace’s apartment, because her complex has a swimming pool. I didn’t even know such things existed in Seattle. The pool water was about 80 degrees, but it was still really nice to sit in there and have girl talk with her. I came home and asked my property manager why we don’t have a pool at our complex. “There are too many drunk people here,” he said. I guess that’s a reasonable answer.
So. Like I said. I got nothin’. Heading to bed now.
