106 degrees is too damn hot

Stayed home Friday night with my only excitement was a phone call in my local Albertsons.

All that supermarket excitement wore me out and I went to lay my head down on to the pillow and the damn thing was smoking hot.

How the fuck does a pillow radiate heat?

We all know flipping the pillow is like the oasis waiting for you in a desert, so I flipped it over to the "cool" side and quickly popped my eyelids open, chest pushed upwards with both hands.

What happen to the cool side?

All day you're sweating, just looking for comfort and off in the distance - is that a mirage? - No wait it's real! You’re using the last of your energy reserves sliding down the dune, momentum propelling your upper body down faster towards the tree line and there it is on the hottest day of the year: the cool underside of the pillow.

But no,
it was more like pulling a hot barbecue coal briquette out and laying your head on it.

Saturday:

Up by 6 am, cooked a giant breakfast, washed the car and decided to wax the whole thing in my garage with the door pulled down. Probably the best idea for mild heat exhaustion because even though I'd hydrated as much as possible and took a nap in the evening, I never did feel quite right afterwards .

Temp in my bedroom at 10pm: 96 degrees

So I did the smart thing and went to an all night dual birthday party at Ashley's ware/house until about five am.

From left to right:
The b-day girls, P+A+Me, and some of us were just too tired to party



Temp at 3 am: I guessing 80+.

End mandatory 'gees it's hot in the summer, go figure' post.

    Thank you for posting a picture of me where I look like I just sucked a lemon.

    Not that I'm vain or anything.

    wait a minute!... I heard you talked to both me and the zombie man when you were at the store...

    so who was exciting?
    were you trying to lead us both to thinking we were your only one true love?
    or worse yet are you trying to get us to fight over you?!?!?! I won't Robert... I just WON'T do it. I love you both too much...

    WAIT...wait EVEN another minute... who's to say there weren't even more phone calls to have been had... you damn dirty double agent... you've been cheating on me haven't you? HAVEN'T YOU!?!?!

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then

Paul Gross changed my life

So yesterday Will Campbell wrote about his experience having an old pair of sunglasses fixed in his post  The Epic Saga Of How It Took 10 Years To Get My Favorite Sunglasses Fixed In An Hour By The Greatest Eyeglass Repair Shop In The History Of History on Blogging.LA A simple repair sometimes can be more meaningful when the damaged item is a symbol of your past, your present and in my case, my future. I too had a pair of glasses fixed by the best eye glass repair shop in the metro LA metro region:  Paul Gross Eyeglass Repair in Glendale, CA  ( yelp reviews ) Below is the comment I left on his post summing up how my life changed with that eyeglass repair. Okay maybe Paul Gross the person didn't directly change my life with that one business transaction but I do believe it played a role in my future I'm so glad you wrote about Paul Gross Eyeglass Repair!!!  There was a point when I was so poor that when my only pair of glasses broke I didn't think I could affor
