hot, pie, suitcase at the door

it has been stupidly hot here. the kind of miserable hot which is just fine if you live in a place where it gets hot like this all the time. the kind of place where the indoors is air conditioned. honestly, if i wanted to deal with weather like this i would have just stayed in louisiana where the rent is cheaper. so, what is the smart thing to do on a record breakingly hot summer day in seattle?

i don't know, cause instead i spent it all repainting my home to make it more appealing to some mysteriously bland potential buyers, who would be offended by actual colors on the walls.highly offensive colors, like the lovely reds and blues i had. however, the paint chips lied like they always do. so the walls are a brighter yellow than they were meant to be, and the doors are too light of a beige. and it feels like i'm living inside of a lemon cream pie. which if i was going to choose a pie to live in, let me tell you it wouldn't be lemon cream. but i'm not repainting it. and i'm not taking down the upside down cross, the large nudes, or the autographed picture of jesus. dammit.

worst of all, my gold lame' curtains no longer match the living room.

next place i live better be 70 degrees and overcast at all times.

(p.s. if i were going to choose a pie to live in, it would be berry pie. or cherry pie. oh yeah.)

At least you don't have the mosquitos and flying cock roaches that also come with Louisiana summers.

    Just hang tight. It'll all be over in a few days. We've got to deal with the heat until October down here in Baton Rouge. I wish I was up there.

i went to the beach on saturday flapped around in the water with the seals and otters. it was only in the mid-70's up here yesterday though. i haven't seen rain since iowa on july 1st.
    john [email] said at 1:12 AM 07-27-2004:
    Wow. Mid-70s! The overnight lows in Baton Rouge are in the mid-80s! It's bad when you take the trash out at 2am and break a sweat.

      part of the reason why i moved.
        john [email] said at 1:24 AM 07-27-2004:
        I lived out west for 5 years. San Diego and Seattle. I plan on returning to one of the two places soon. I always plan on moving back when summer arrives here. It's really a miserable time.

          i know someone selling a house in seattle... the place even has gold lame' curtains in the living room.
      shelly [email] said at 11:05 AM 07-27-2004:
      Saturday it was 95 degrees. Lest you forget, nothing here is air conditioned. It was hotter than that inside.

no one wants to tell me what sort of pie they'd chose to live in?
    myriam [email] said at 11:28 AM 07-27-2004:
    pre-emptive strike! I was just about to, silly.

    Rhubarb and Strawberry. Just enough red, just enough orange, warm yellowy highlights.

        Rumor (google) has it that the Omni Parker House has a wicked good (insert Yankee accent) one. I've never had, but they have awesome food there. Treat yourself to a cup of coffee and a nice slice of Boston Cream (not creme, doh!) pie. On me. Send me the receipt for re-imbursement.
