Sorry no blogging yesterday beyond the obit for Doohan. He really was a childhood hero of mine, well, Scotty was, anyway. I've just been so swamped with stuff--on top of that it's bloody hot as hell here in LA these days. I had a screening in Hollywood last night and on the way back I didn't even need a jacket. Usually the windchill is enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. Not last night! I was comfy in a T-shirt and one of my trademark button-down short-sleeve shirts blowing behind me like a cape. Although I think I might be killing the engine on my scooter. I haven't given it an oil change in far too long and it's making strange noises.
Did I mention it's friggen hot here? As I'm sitting here, it's 3:20am and it's so hot that I'm in just my underwear. The windows are open and there's no breeze WHAT so ever. In fact, Tuesday night TheFutureWife and I were at the Santa Monica Promenade celebrating our 8th anniversary (crazy!) and we took a walk out on the peer. One of my favorite things about the ocean is the smell. But I took a whif and could smell nothing at all. We got all the way to the end of the peer and still, I could smell no fresh air, no sea water, not even the smell of freshly-caught fish wafted my way. This was mainly because there was nothing for the scent to waft on.
There was no wind at all. It was almost creepy.
Same went for last night (well, tonight, from my perspective right this moment). What was worse Tuesday night was that I had some of those weird-ass Dippin' Dots at the peer which sent me into a sugar-fit. Got a massive hotflash and felt nauseous. We got the fan aimed at me in bed and, again, all the windows open and I was still burning up.
So, I'm putting off going to sleep because I hate this extreme heat and trying to do nothing in it is so difficult. All I can think about is how damn hot it is and I just get obsessed by it. I'd say I'm looking forward to the Scotland trip for a change in the climate, but I've heard they're experiencing a drought and a heatwave.
I think there just might be something to all this global warming stuff. ;)
Oh and another reason I haven't blogged is that there's thankfully not a whole lot that is going on that's worth bothering with. Bush nominated that Julia Roberts guy and there have been a couple other random things of mild interest, but nothing to write home about. So, logically, they're not worth blogging about either.
In other news, I've started adding my original blog entries to my site. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already, but if you check out TheArchives, at the very bottom are three months worth of entries from 1998. Now, these weren't technically blog entries as "blogs" wasn't even a term that existed yet. Still, these were regular bits of commentary I posted so technically, they were blog entries. It's kind of shocking just how petty I was back then :) But hey, we all evolve, right?
In yet more other news, I'm getting dicked around by Skype! I know, who'd a thunk it. They're the darling of the VoIP world yet when I had trouble with their payment system (it's a long story, I'll blog on it later) I thought I got charged twice and their system says I didn't pay at all. While it turns out that while I wasn't charged at all, I found the way they replied to be rude. They told me to follow the instructions--I explained to them that in the 7-8 years I've been paying for things on the 'net, the paying process has never been so complicated as to have required anyone to follow any instructions.
OH well, enough outta me.
I'm going to go pretend it's the ice age in my bedroom.
Wish me luck!
