AAHHH!!! its HOT out. this damn heat is oppressive. its like the planet is fucking with me as well, i think i might kill someone if i don't feel a breeze soon. the air has been dead still up here and its making a minor heat wave simply unbearable, and the humidity is just a slap in the face to boot. a kick in the balls on the way down, don't mind if i do! i don't have AC in this place so i'm going to complain about it. there is an air conditioner here, but it felt like pumping out heat instead of cool air. i talked to my landlord today at work and he's "going to rummage one up" for me, but i'm not sure i can wait. like i mentioned above, i'm a pussy and its hot out. i'm going to go see a movie instead. they have AC. and then a bar. thats AC'd too, and last i checked, i like beer.
any other suggestions for beating the heat?
You fool! Heat will always win. Don't worry though, it only took 2 years for my body to adjust to the warmer weather in FL.
yeah, we dont have AC here either but last night dominique went into the basement and rummaged up an old window unit from some long lost tenant here. it took some of the humidity out of the apt, but it really cooled the bedroom down at night since it's smaller and we shut the door. plus it was really smooth of me when i moved it from the living room to the bedroom and spilled water all over the floor.
can't wait to get into the new place in a few weeks. no more forced interaction with neighbors, and there are several AC units built in.
cold showers work well.
I cracked and turned on the ac too. This place leaks like a siv so I've got all vents plugged except the bedrooms which are on the upper level and the hottest.
Basements and waterfronts. Burlington has an unusually chilly place: the causeway goes 4 miles out into the lake, so the end of that is always 60 or whatever the lake is that day, regardless of the 90+ temps in town. Caves? Mountain tops? Except for the heat on the way up I guess.
A ceiling fan is nice, especially in conjunction with central air. =)
