BRING IT, SUN.
All right, Northwesters, report in! How are you guys hanging on? Everybody doing okay? I just poured cold glasses of water on both dogs and one of the cats. They all look pretty ridiculous now, but I feel better and I suspect they do too, under the mortification. I am a little concerned that the power just dipped, but I'm hoping it hangs on. Here's the latest screencap of the temp in my area, via Weather.com:
ETA: An hour later we've now hit 106! WOOO!
Show me yours, my fellow area peeps! Come on Portland, I know y'all are usually even hotter, right? (Yes, we will stop talking about the weather up here, once we've all reconstituted our melted molecules into their solid states again. :P )
I don't know if this counts as a cooling thought, but it's an EXTREMELY CATCHY song that is also hilarious: Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain, why is he climbing a mountain?
Oh, Shatner.
In even more random news, this has been cracking me up all afternoon.
We finished season 1&2 of Homicide last night! It was excellent. There was also surprise!Robin Williams and surprise!baby!Jake Gyllenhal. D'aw.
I know I should have thinky things to say about the show, but so far I can't seem to put them together. I'm really enjoying it, though, in large part because of the characters.
So You Think You Can Dance tonight! I can't believe the finale is already next week. This season went FAST. I really have no idea who will be in the Top 4. I think Evan may really have a chance; he seems to have a pretty huge fanbase. I think I'd like it to be Jeanine, Melissa, Evan, and Ade. I would be okay with Brandon swapped out for either guy (I KNOW, but as much as I ADORE Evan, I think Brandon is a better overall dancer, if I'm being honest with myself).
I missed birthdays! Happy belated wishes to elynross, scarlettgirl, and slidellra! Wow, that's an unfair amount of awesome ladies to be born within a couple of days of each other. :) I hope you each had wonderful days.
Okay. Time for a cooling shower and then, I think, to brave the licensing office as I need to renew my license. (WE ARE ALL FUNTIMES HERE, YOU GUYS.)
