If you live in New York and you went outside today, you know it was hot.
I wouldn't necessarily go as far as saying it was hot like a camel-trodden desert, but the fact that it hadn't been this hot, and then it was, made it stand out for me, and for each and every person I spoke to today. To paint a picture, right now I'm in my undies, my fan is spinning at maximum capacity, and the backs of my knees are sweating -- imagine which crevices were sweating when the sun was out. The best part is that even though it was so warm, there were lots of peeps roaming the streets, beating the heat (triple rhyme score). If you were one of those people, I commend you with a cyber high five.
To those of you who scoff at mid to high eighty degree weather, first I say keep your scoffing to yourself, no one wants to hear it. Second I say, sincerely, I envy you. Third I say, if you use celsius, you need to become a firefighter or a locally worshipped demi-god, tonight.
All I can think is, I hope it's not this hot tomorrow. If it is, we'll take it with a smile because we're smug New Yorkers. Until then, though, it's time to catch some Zs and hope Njord graces us with a light breeze on the long trip home.

I totally know what you felt going outside. Luckily I was only battling with the sun or the heat or whatever beats lay idle for a few minutes and it was back to my AC
ReplyDeleteso at first i thought, oh no ezra--the weather? but you create wonderfly detailed pictures in my mind. all i wanted to do at work today was be in my undies under a fan.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michelle. At first I was like "NO EZRA, DON'T DO IT!" but you pulled through.
ReplyDeleteI was stuck outside today and the heat actually ruined my week. I can feel it still and the sun gave me a headache. :(
Also,
did you know that cupcake kid isn't fat? He has swollen muscles from an immune deficiency that fucks with his kidneys.

Watched the video - it's pretty unfortunate that he's gotten made fun of. I personally liked him more because of his appearance. Skinny kids aren't fun-loving or adorable; "Cupcake Sam" is both.
