Dude. It’s hot.
I wasn’t going to post today so that you awesome readers could catch up on our awesome posts from the week (nrlymrtl, Jonah, Paula), but…
We’re in day two of a state-wide power outtage and it’s hot and I’m bored and I’m having trouble making a joke about the general lack of preparedness for the Zombie Apocalypse.
So..
What are you reading now? What’s on your Summer Reading List?
I blazed (get it? “blazed”? …yeah I said it’s hot) through 3/4 of The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde while cuddling with a bag of ice.
“Ordinary adults don’t like children to speak of things that are denied them by their own grey minds.” –Jasper Fforde
I LOVE Jasper Fforde!
Other than the Tolkien stuff, I’m currently reading this.
I am trying to get into Zero History by William Gibson and out of Thrall’s Tale by….. hmm. I will have to go look in the truck.
We do not have AC at wall. Fans and ice and cool showers are our sanity in the summer. Along with a good book.
Woot! Jasper Fforde! Oddly enough I’m coping with the heat with a copy of Shades of Grey. I think it’s time to save the ice cream from the pile of melting stuff in the freezer and find a night light to read the rest of the book.
This is your copy, actually.
hey, so I e-mailed you yesterday, but if you got it, ignore it, cuz you got way more important things to worry about right now, like surviving a power outage!!
still working on Leviathan Wakes by James Corey, and I think after I finish it I need to read something a little lighter, so maybe i’ll grab the newest Agatha Heterodyne book, by Phil Foglio.
I’m far enough north to have avoided all of the storms, and I’m currently spending my entire savings account running the wall AC unit to keep our 3rd floor apartment below 80 degrees.
o gods. Hot is hot, wherever you are. Having lived out West and out East, this humid hot is a lot more uncomfortable. You just can’t get away from it.
The eye-opener this weekend was not the heat so much–I mean. life’s tough but so are we–but the coming face-to-face with how delicate is this thing we call “civilization”. Even our access to drinkable water depends on power. People become monsters when they get scared.
With all the changes to the climate, the overpopulation… it’s not crazy to wonder *if* the power is going to come back on. I think folks are starting to expect the worst every time.
