I believe the heat wave has receded!
It was a grueling few days and aside from a son who wound up telling me, “Man up and stop whining”, we survived the 108 temperatures (I’m an Alaskan girl… anything over 90 is NOT okay). My long haired cat also had mild suffering from heat exhaustion and the entire city ran out of air conditioners. All in all it made for some excitement.
On the hottest day I took Jonathon to see Transformers (basically because the biggest gripe about the film was how long it was). I’ll toss in a rating for the film: C, maybe C- I’d go lower because lip injections and fake eyelashes are beginning to become a huge pet peeve of mine, but the film got us out of the heat so I’ll maintain my rating. Films that are 1/2 CGI are sapping the excitement from the experience… or perhaps it’s just that film. I have one thing to say to film makers- REFRAIN!
The weather is going to remain in the 90′s for a bit, but at least it’s manageable.
On a lighter side of life… I had the most potentially horrifying experience in a long time last night. Most know that my washer is broken and I do my laundry in my sink. Saying that… the following is a realistic and NOT weird situation. Some how my underwear managed to slip down into the garbage disposal without my knowledge, so needless to say that when I ran the disposal it immediately got stuck. PANIC!! I imagined the scenario of calling maintenance and explaining to a stranger about my panties being stuck in the disposal as they pull them out… The more I blushed at the thought the harder I pulled and cut with scissors until SUCCESS!
I decided that I do not want to find out whether or not someone can actually die of embarassment.
Embarrassing to you, perhaps. Personally, I love that story.
