...stay anchored to the sofa while the city bakes outside. The news say this is the hottest day of the year, in Rio. We jerry-rigged an air-conditioner-like situation and are trying to move as little as possible. And it isn't even summer yet. We're fucked.

Wow, yeah it's, like, 75 degrees in Missouri right now, so I can only imagine. It should be in about the 40's by now. It's nice, but it's not good.

If you're dreaming of AIU, I'm sorry to say that he's already successfully hacked into something worse than your account.

This occurred to me, and I was actually hesitant to post it here because I didn't want to encourage him. But then I realized, this is damn funny. Even in my dream, it wasn't upsetting, I was just like, "motherfucker, that's a hilariously terrible font."

It was like...a cross between papyrus and edwardian script. It was like somebody took a shit on my monitor and then tried to clean it off with a dead rat, then converted the detritus that remained into a TrueType font. It was that bad.

ALSO: Today I'm gonna get my hair cut like Victoria Beckham's. Yes, the posh-bob. Pob.

Hate the word, love the style. Sexiness and danger, that's me.

Pics!  I love that style but I'm not willing to iron my hair for a half-hour each day to get it smooth.

[jay-ell]

Oh, I'm absolutely not willing to do that either. And I have very thick, wavy hair (too wavy to pull off straight styles but not wavy enough to have curls). But my stylist showed me how to straighten my hair with just a blowdryer, my fingers, and a dab of smoothing cream. It works much better than using a round brush (which apparently adds volume, which I don't need) and it's much faster and easier.

She's a great stylist, because she not only gives good cuts, but she'll say, "OK, when you try to re-create this at home, you want to make sure to part it on an angle like this and blow it towards the back of your head like this." She's less like a stylist and more like a personal hair trainer. Everyone else I've ever been to makes sure I look great when I leave, but I can never quite get my hair to look that way again until I go back. Paola took an extra 20 minutes with me today to make sure I would be able to do it easily and without special products or equipment. I tell you, she's worth her weight in gold.

...get a blazing-fast new wireless router, woo hoo!

I was really getting tired of having to reboot the old router 3 - 4 times daily. Especially since my kids watch cartoons through the internet. The whole web looks nicer, somehow. It's like there are friendly woodland creatures at every turn, speeding my journey through the enchanted forest of the Internet.

Eat donuts that were purchased last night at 2:30a.

Go to an English Pub in Portland called "Moon and Sixpence".

Maybe I'll throw a dart or two.  In bed early tonight.  Tomorrow is another bike race, in which I will come in near last, but still feel accomplished.

[theinevitable]

Still got no Internet. Aaahhhhh. So I'm watching cspan and reading Max Weber and Marx.

Later, probably taking the girlfriend to crown candy kitchen.

[jay-ell]

Pics! 

I suppose, if you insist.



The background has a window without trim because I also wanted to show my sister-in-law the new glass tile Dad just installed in our bathroom.

Oh, cute haircut!  Looks great.  Thanks for posting. 

[smick]

Fall over at the very start of the bike race, get run over by other bikers, have an AWESOME mark where the pedal hit my ass.

Drop out in the first 5 minutes of a 45 minute race, and go drink beer the rest of the day while yelling at people.

[theinevitable]

holy fuck, I overdrew my bank account.
Um, I somehow have spent twice as much money in the past month as I spent last month, and that month was more than I had ever spent before due to costs of moving into our place (first groceries, cleaning supplies, furniture, etc). What the fuck. What the fuck.

Like, it is possible that my rent check bounced. Um. Um.

In other, not-serious news, St Louisans: where are some free/cheap exiting places in St Louis? This young lady I am dating previously dated a dude who apparently took her to every cool place in the city. It is turning into like a THING that I must find places she has not been before.

inev i love how you answered your own question there and didn't even seem to realize it

welcome to Having A Girlfriend

Tonight I threw paper airplanes at Jenny Owen Youngs. I also discovered I'm not a fan of Mae.

[theinevitable]

oh, yeah, that is one factor. another factor is spending 5 days in NYC and 2 days in Chicago.

But like, that does not explain my grocery bill doubling. it does not explain that at all.

I just realized that part of it is that I included my (monthly) rent twice, because I paid it twice within 30 days. Which decreases the emergency to "I went through this month's budget and half of my savings" instead of "this month's budget and all of my savings." But still, wtf.

The idea of needing to rent a tux to go to my friend's Debutante Ball makes me laugh.
