It’s Too Damn Hot

Busy day. Time for new running shoes for one of my sisters, and a trip to the grocery store. At least both places will have air conditioning.

This heat really kills me. I couldn’t afford an air conditioner last week when I knew this heat wave was coming, now I can afford one…and there’s not one for love or money in the Vancouver metro area. Driving into Portland without air conditioning is so not an option. So I guess we deal with what we got. Which isn’t too bad.

Since it’s not cooling off during the night, this is the kind of weather that makes for interesting police blotter reports. The apartments behind us have sirens all night. Some idiot kids were setting of firecrackers at one in the morning.

I can’t wait for the heat to break.

In other news, I’ve got the emotional point of entry to the Kismet short story. It’s always the same–feeling along in the dark until the character opens up and shows you the place to slide in, where you can set your hook and start pulling the story in. It’s great when it happens, you just have to keep it up until then.

Eck. I’m going to go soak up someone else’s AC for a little bit.

    I just checked the temps and it said it was “102 but it supposedly feels like 103.” It just feels HOT.

    Once it hits 90 I just use “too damn hot” to describe it.

    Hey, just lurking around and thought I’d let you know I finished Redemption Alley yesterday and am exhausted! What a ride. Can’t wait for Flesh Circus *fangirl squee* ;-)

    I checked the weather online and it appears that New England especially Connecticut has been hit with too much rain and not enough hot temps. I don’t know if I should call them lucky or not.

    Redemption Alley is the best Kismet yet!
    What a great character, what a great book.

    LOVED it! Redemption Alley blew me out of my socks so to speak. And the excerpt for Flesh Circus was rather tantalizing. YEA….
