Summer can screw itself.

[kungfuwaynewho]

It is hot as balls around here.  I know a lot of other people are under heat advisories now, so you know of what I speak.  (Not a word, Noelle.  Not a single word.)  I pretty much have no desire to live.  I wake up every morning with all of these plans and all of these things I want to accomplish, and by the time I get home from work all I want to know is go into stand-by mode and lie down in a cool place.  Like yesterday - I was going to write!  Watch this movie a coworker lent me!  Work on Latin!  Clean my computer room!  What did I do?  I laid in bed, in my jim-jams, for four solid hours reading.  Which, don't get me wrong, reading is nice, but still.  I felt like I wasted my day off.

I am also super-tired of summer reading at work.  STOP READING BOOKS, KIDS.  I DO NOT WANT TO CHECK THEM IN ANYMORE.

As far as my writing goes, I'm having a problem with having way too many irons in the fire.  I'm writing, I just can't manage to get anything done.  I have two old B5 series languishing, my het_bigbang, this BSG/B5 crossover, tron20in20, another Tron series, my novel that I've kinda stalled on, and then this weekend I decided to start a new screenplay.  HALP.  

I have a bazillionty tabs open - I check my flist, open up all the posts I intend to read and comment on, and by the time I get done opening them all up I'm tired and ready for bed, or it's time to go to work.  I need to ask Gwyneth Paltrow for tips on how best to curate my social media.  I also need to copy/paste all the fic I have waiting and stick it on my ereader - that worked well the previous times I did it, in terms of finally getting stuff read.  I'm finding I have a shorter attention span when it comes to reading things on my computer. 

ANYWAY, now I'm off to bed, leaving a few more tabs open in the meantime.  Fnar.

Oh, man. The HEAT ADVISORIES. They SUCK ASS. I hate them. I feel for you, just slightly north of where you are.

WHAT WHAT I WASN'T GONNA SAY ANYTHING I SWEAR

*pats* YOU HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON. But I totally know the "I'MMA JUST LAY HERE AND READ FOR HOUUUUUUUUURS, NOBODY BOTHER ME" urges. They're fun. :D

I actually had my first pang of longing for cooler weather today. I promptly gasped in shock and slapped myself.

I don't know why, but I can not stop laughing. XD

Bad influence! Lol as a future teacher I say keep reading kids! Haha omg these heat advisories! I live near Detroit but 113ish in Cincinnati yesterday? Omggg

My dad and I are planning on starting a petition against to much sun and resulting heat. And I'm sure we have lower temps than you and I already hate it. I stop functioning properly when it gets humid and over 25°C (don't know how much that is in fahrenheit right now).

And I know the tab problem...have it all the time, I manage to read the entries but save the links to comment some day.

100 today and warnings not to breathe the air. I want to go back to Maine!!
I've been hiding in the basement hogging the teevee. Lucky there is stuff to watch, this mid summer premiere thing is starting to make sense.

I've always hated cold weather... as I get older, I realize that I also hate extremely hot weather. Need moar temperate zone, plz. We've been under heat warnings too, sucks. Mom and I had to go out to the (dead) mall to walk b/c we couldn't go anywhere outside.

The kids should keep reading, sorry! Maybe they could all get Ipads or Kindles, then you wouldn't have to check anything in/out.

115 heat index right now. Uuuuuuuuugggggghhhhh. I hate summer. How did people live here before air conditioning?

[lifeistoobrevis]

Ugh, I hear you on the heat. Even just walking from the car to the store is awful.

Four hours of reading sounds productive compared to watching 9 episodes of The West Wing in the last 24 hours. XD

I am so bad at the multiple tabs thing too. I seem to always have a few left every night.

Good luck on the writing! I have been so neglectful of mine lately.
