kyburgIt's Summer. Overnight, no less. That's efficiency for you, ain't it?
95 degrees yesterday. HERE. Add 15-20, going inland. Needless to say, not much got done here as it was over 81 degrees inside.
I did the time-honored desert rat thang - I took a nap between 2:00 - 5:00PM and stayed up until 1:00 AM.
Today? I expect not a whole lot more - except I'll take a dive out into the back house and see if I can find the fans.
I put a dozen eggs on the boil this morning, why? Because I expect the only food we're going to be eating here for the forseeable will either 1) cold or 2) frozen. So much for making rhubarb pie today. There's no way I'm going to add any source of heat today....
Got through the first Bleach manga - if I can get past the mental image of strawberry yogurt every time I read the protagonist's name, I'll be good. The frames are packed full - but still scannable (some of the frames in CLAMP's Tsubasa are just too busy to scan well with me these days). You like some asian zombie goodness, this is for you.
We're still picking up Ranma 1/2 manga. TEH SHAME. ~*DOOM*~

catsonmars - you need to ping Jim; he has a kiddie clock for you! XD
Another weird quirk noted lately on media is that past volume 1 of SAC:2nd Gig, the discs don't play in the old combo player (though they are KICKASS on my Mini). Okay. So I have to take time out from Sims2 to watch anime. Poor little me. With the creature speakers, 5.1 is the bomb. (betnoir, I need to get some time to corrupt you with this series. It's the cyberpunk one I mentioned....)
It's got a wonderful soundtrack, beautiful visuals, tight writing - and at the bottom, is just a really good cop show. And I love me some really good cop shows, lemme tellya.
Another thing to bring in from the back house - did I mention I have two DVD players out there gathering dust? One of them a 5-disc carousel? Yeah. No, no - there's no reason I have to set up shop in the office to watch 2nd Gig, I'll just bring another machine in - that 5 disc will come in handy playing music. That make *counts on fingers* 6 devices in the wall unit in the living room. Oh well. And no, I can't record a damn thing from one to the other. Not even TiVo.
While I'm talking about the Mini, I should mention this clip - Really Expensive Cat Toy. Yes, your Mac can even amuse your kitten for hours. People ask why I power down my Mac when I leave the house - cos' I came home one night and found they'd muted the entire system and I didn't want to tempt fate with something more vicious.
And now? I'm going to set out some sun tea, crawl under a rock and try not to melt.
