It's 87F - and technically, it isn't summer yet.

It's barely May, and I'm already up to two showers a day. Yuck. I can see myself finding a job just to have access to a/c I don't have to pay for.

Something odd: while I was at Beaulah's the other day, I noticed an entertainment unit at the curb awaiting trash pick-up. I took a closer look: It was the exact same model I have in my living room, but much the worse for wear. Then, at one of the houses down at the corner in my neighborhood, I saw *another* of that unit, also in crappy shape, also at streetside. Mine is still in fine shape. It just struck me as strange that I'd see two of the same thing within a couple of days!

Yahoo has done something evil to their homepage, and somehow the restart that entailed (which it did without asking MY permission--fuckmooks!) meant having to re-sign-in to everything. I DO. NOT. like change for which I am not prepared. For that matter, I'm none too fond of change I *AM* prepared for.

Five things I *DO* really like: (It isn't a meme unless you want it to be)

* Ben & Jerry's Pistachio! Pistachio! ice cream. By the pint. Gluttony is my favorite deadly sin. Sloth comes in a distant second, lust is in third place by a whisker.
* Real NY cannolis The things they call cannolis around here are a fucking joke to anyone from the Five Boroughs.
* 100% cotton chenille As in old bedspreads. I have a bunch of them. Someday, I want to transform one of them into a soft, fluffy bathrobe. Chenille is love. I need an icon for that....
* Nice pens. Not cheap ballpoints that scratch and clot, but rollerballs or good fountain pens.
* Clean, orderly surroundings (I said I like them, I didn't say I had them.)
