i'll tell you where to shove your indian summer...


It's supposed to be 90 DEGREES today. You know you're in trouble when the sun is shining at 7 AM. And yes, I know that it's probably been over 100 for the past twenty out of thirty days where you live, blah blah bah, I don't care, and that's why I don't live where you live. That's why I live in Oakland, where anything above 79 is pretty much considered the devil's weather. Oh, and I hate tank tops. Not just on me, but on everyone. Keep your armpits to yourself please, thankyouverymuch. Poor Cheech. Having spent all of her 18 months here, hot days are so confusing and emotionally overwhelming for her... I get you, my sweet girl. Really, I do.

  3. F*ck, I know. I couldn't do much more than brush my hair and leave this morning because I was about to melt in my apartment. AND NO WE DON'T HAVE AC HERE, east coast clients who never stop asking that. This is NOT normal.

  4. Well darling think of all of us who have been freezing our asses off on the other side of that bridge. It has maybe gotten to 75˚ a whole handful of hours this summer so DEAL with your one day! Or shit, come one over to this side;) xo

  5. ha! kindred spirits. I refused to acknowledge and chose wool pants and a black cardy today. I got a serious snotty once over from the woman who just sold me my watermelon agua fresca (extremely necessary) and added "my, someone didn't dress for the weather today, did they?"
    whatever.

  7. Let's trade! 90 is like minimal functioning temperature for me. Otherwise my fingers don't work properly.

  8. Exactly! Fuck you, Long Beach! I still love you, but fuck you. I came BACK to you from Phoenix to avoid this kind of bullshit weather. Cut it out. It's October for christsake.

  9. I sooooooo agree with you. I hate this weather. I'm in the Northern part of Marin and it pretty much feels like hell from May-October. To me anything above 75=hell.

  10. This weather is the worst. I have lived in LA for 10 years and I know that Sept/Oct is when it gets the hottest, yet every year it surprises me and sends me in to a funk/rage. I have such envy for people in NORMAL climates wearing sweaters, eating soup and frolicking through leaves and in pumpkin patches, I imagine they are all laughing smugly as they kick up their booted heels. Sigh. I think the heat is supposed to break at the end of the week. I will be drinking white wine with an ice cube and counting the minutes until then .
