Such Lovely Weather Today

So, my air conditioner is broken, and it's officially 90 degrees Fahrenheit in here.

I should probably get that fixed.

I should also probably get the place cleaned up before inviting management inside of it, but it's hard to muster much cleaning energy when it's 90 degres in here.

I did muster the energy to take a shower, the moisture from which is the only reason I'm alive at the moment.

Sacramento. It must have been about 100 earlier to still be 90 at this point in the evening, but it's pretty normal for it to be 100 in Sacramento all summer long.

haha.

actually i was waiting for a package which ups has apparently been trying to deliver, so i kept my clothes on a while, but then nobody showed up and i got sick of that, and then there was a knock at the door, and by that time it was too dark outside for me to see who was out there, so i put all my clothes back on in a rush and answered the door, only to find a door to door salesperson wanting to ask me, "are you aware that lyon's is the best restaurant in the sacramento area?"

that certainly dropped lyon's down several notches in my esteem. how stupid do companies have to be, that they can't even figure out that people do not have telephones and door knockers out of the burning desire to spend their free time receiving as many advertisements as possible?

do what i do: remove the doorknob, on both sides.

hey, then i could be like these guys!

actually i'm almost there anyway. i'd have gone the whole way by now, except my parents don't give me a $400 a month allowance at the age of 25 like theirs do, which unfortunately compels me to earn a living, which at the moment seems to require me to enter and exit my front door with the use of the doorknob about five days a week. sad, really.

if nothing else, the article certainly explained why japanese people feel so much more "filial duty" to their parents than americans. i forwarded the article to my mother immediately with a note indicating that if she were to suddenly decide to give me a $400 a month allowance, i'd feel a substantially increased sense of "filial duty" too.

in that case....

i had a strong sense of filial duty to my father when he was alive, and i was working at 13 or 14, and i never got no 400 clams a month.

i think i have been shortchanged.


somebody get me john edwards!
