I have been trying to compose a post which makes no reference whatsoever to the godawful fucking heatwave currently in its zillionth day. Without any great success.

Since the g.f.h. has liquified my few brain cells, all I have left to say was actually said much better by the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] inapickle, and I quote: I myself am not interested in Harry Potter, but I'm thrilled vicariously for all of you out there who love him and his friends, however you choose to do it. I could repeat this with "SGA" in place of "Harry Potter" and it'd be just as true (though somewhat less grammatical). My interest in both these fandoms is nonexistent, but it's great fun to see all my beloved friends having such fun.

Meanwhile, (returning to my own preoccupation, the aforementioned g.f.h.), we are in train here to set some kind of record for consecutive days above 90. Whee. *desultorily tossing a handful of damp confetti, which drops limply to the ground and shrivels*

I guess I could also pass along a Very Important Life Lesson for anyone living through a g.f.h. without the aid of either air conditioning or a dishwasher, which is -- in such circumstances, it is imperative to wash any dish, vessel or cooking implement as soon as one is done with it, as unpleasant as the concept may be, because if one instead defaults to one's slovenly habit of Oh, I'll just put it in the sink to soak for a few hours [days, weeks], the results will be of a disgustingness heretofore unimagined in the darkest slimy nightmares of foetid and malodorous decay.

That's all. Carry on with your HBP-reading and McKay/Sheppard squeeing, oh legions of the friendslist. Me, I'm off to haul the bottle of Bombay Sapphire out of the freezer and pour myself another slug.

You have *such* a supportive attitude! You are the perfect non-co-squeeing Fan. :)

Plus, also! I am *guaranteed* not to leak any spoilers! *Such* a perfect and safely-readable flist-member am I! *preens*

Sending cooling SF breezes over the burning plain while squeeing over Sheppard/McKay and ignoring Harry Potter. Underage boys --- feh!

I've had a hell of a day and I'm rather shockingly uninterested in watching The Sci-Fi channel this evening. Perhaps it's the heat. Perhaps it's the hype. Perhaps it's the Harry Potter eve headache?

Make it a double, why don't you. (g)

uh. "pour me" one, that is. But "poor me" is also strangely fitting...

I hate this fucking drought-ridden g.f.h. summer so fucking much that I wanted to smack everyone chirping "Happy Solstice!" a few weeks back (I've promised Mary a celebratory dinner when the autumn equinox finally rescues us all). Here, have another drink.

I woke up at 4:00 this morning and decided to go see if the local Cub had the Harry Potter book. I only mention this, because as I drove by the TCF, I noted that the temp was 80. 80 freaking degrees at 4 in the morning. This is insanity.

Life without A/C gets challenging here when it's hot; our apartment is one big south-facing solar panel. But right now it's cool out, so I wish I could teleport you here for the weekend.

I cling to my AC. And my HP book, and my SGA download... anyway, many hugs to you, and they're virtual, not sweaty.
