ANYWAY, Serephel, I can only hope your girlfriend understands that boys stink when they sweat and that they sweat a whole lot more than girls, and then forgives you for being stinky. I forgive my boyfriend, and he's pretty extreme as far as being miserable in the summertime.
To add on how weird it is that I love summer... you know that feeling you get when you get into a car and it feels like the heat from the inside of the vehicle is consuming you, and you're pretty much suffocating due to the warmth of the air filling your lungs? I LOVE that feeling. It's like being wrapped up by a nice blanket
She does understand, and she keeps a steady supply of kleenex on her to wipe my face with when I'm dripping too much sweat. And you are crazy for liking that suffocating feeling.
Hey Seph, any recommendation for the Chinese Weather?
Very light clothes. Shorts, sandals, light t-shirts, the works. I've only spent a few days in Beijing, but they were also quite hot and painful. I wear cologne in the summer, because it tends to act as a neutralizer by the time I get to work every morning. Deodorant is a must.
Well since Mish has been quoted for it a couple times already I'm not going to do it again, but I'd say that if Mish is crazy for liking the hot oven-car effect, then I guess I'm a little crazy too.
This on the other hand makes me think of something for a different discussion.
Wow it took me 4 tries to try to say "in heat" or "in warm places" without thinking dirty.
Why is it that our society tries so hard to supress sex that people have to invent endless innuendos to talk about it without actually talking about it. It's gotten to the point that it actually takes effort to say things without accidentally slipping some sort of innuendo in? Even what I just said can be taken as innuendo. It's annoying.

That's actually a really good idea. I just might start carrying around tissues so I can wipe his forehead with something other than my arm, since I try not to resort to that very often.
In somewhat related news, I'm down in Austin for freshmen orientation this week, and it's a lot more humid down here. Still not too bad for me, but I like drier places much better. THAT I think most people can agree with.
I just can't sleep anymore. I sleep on a tatami mat on my bed, with a tatami pillow. No covers, and a fan blowing on high. I've tried drinking myself to sleep, and that only works until I wake up a few hours later to go to the bathroom, and then I'm too hot again from moving to fall back asleep.
How much do de-humidifiers cost? I went looking today, because I'm fairly certain that alleviating the humidity in my apartment would relieve some of the heat and insomnia. The cheapest one I could find was about $300 US, and I don't remember them being anywhere near that expensive back home. Humidifiers are fairly cheap, and they are often very colorful and child oriented. But that is the opposite of what I want.
My apartment is all hardwood floor, and I picked up my comforter that was on the ground all day. It was in a small puddle of water. Everything that has been on the hardwood floor of my bedroom is now wet.
My fucking apartment is sweating. I hate summer so so so so so much.
It's a lot more work to pull moisture out of the air than to put moisture into the air, so I'm not surprised it's more expensive. Target's site lists a Sunpentown dehumidifier for $60. I can personally vouch for Sunpentown's brand being totally awesome, as I got a wonderful swamp cooler from those guys awhile back that works great.
Okay. I bought a portable air conditioning unit the other day. It creates cold air through a water pool inside it. They gave me two refreezable ice packs to rotate in and out of the water pool to keep it cold. Water is siphoned out the bottom and used to trickle down a net, which the air is blown through, hopefully being made cool by a few degrees. It works okay. It's not strong enough to lower the temperature of my bedroom, but it will at least blow enough not-hot air on me to keep me from sweating.
The air conditioner repair guys blew me off today while I sweat through an entire pair of clothes in a couple hours. I normally don't wear clothes, but I was being active and cleaning my apartment, so I had to go outside to take out trash and such. They called and said they'd arrive tomorrow.
I never wear clothes in my apartment anymore. Not because I hate clothing, but because I sweat through them. In fact, you can assume that any posts that happen during the weekends, I am only wearing boxers while I make them. Fun fact!

Los Angeles is burning

And now, back to the weather.

Three more months of this...
Mmm, frappe

If that's all it is, can't you just put a bucket of ice in front of your own fan?
Did you have to pay?
