Current Playlist

I feel like posting something.  Here is my current playlist.  It's actually labeled "Cleaning" as it's what I tend to listen to while doing housework, when I get around to doing that.  I also tend to listen to it walking and in the car (when I occasionally have one).  Most songs are chosen because 1. I like them and 2. (With a couple exceptions) I can at least pretend to sing to them.

Too Fucking Hot

Today it is too fucking hot.  High nineties.  I learned an important lesson.  It doesn't matter if shorts are short and don't cover much of your legs.  They're still hot.  Even longer skirts are cooler.  In fact, I think I'm going to skip straight to skirts and wrap pants for the rest of the summer. 

I was supposed to go in and work a couple hours this evening.  It was really slow so they didn't wind up needing me.  I was told I could stay anyways since I'd been scheduled and I'd come in.  Is it sad that I didn't stay for the money, I stayed for the air conditioning?

That's right, no air conditioning in my apartment.  That's going to change ASAP.  Earlier my mother offered to give me one of the old air conditioners from their house.  I said no, I wanted to find a low power consumption little one instead.  I called her back today and said I don't care what it is, please please please can I have it?

What I really want is to go swimming.  I want to go swimming in a nice, cool, body of water and float along for a bit.  Swimming makes life better.  Especially when it's hot.

Thunder Storms are Awesome!

I love thunderstorms.  Today I left to go do some errands and started to come up out of the subway system just as a big one hit over head.  It was barely drizzling when I went down.  As I'm standing under the awning waiting for the rain to stop the big thunder, lightning and downpour hit.  There was water flooding down the steps and huge loud directly overhead claps of thunder and flashes and it was amazing.  When I finally felt like it had calmed down a bit I popped my umbrella and took off my shoes and waded through the mini lake to keep going.  I was kind of sad I was on my way to errands instead of from them, otherwise i might have just run out anyways.  I was just sort of standing there while it was coming down amid the bemused subway riders grinning like a little kid, an image probably helped by the pigtail braids but oh well.

I kind of want to go dancing in the rain now.
