This was not prince at all. She would have been perfect for James Brown. She is good but this wasn' t the best. What is the name of this song anyway

[I agree, her cover is nothing like... like... which song are we talking about?]

my day in heat and beer (minus the beer, cause I don't drink)

Finished the leadership training course thingy today, and then did something I haven't done in a long time--went out for a drink with co-workers. Sometimes I avoid socializing because I can never do it in 1 hour increments. I get swept into good conversation, and 5 hours pass easily (as almost anyone who knows me has experienced). Tonight was no exception, but it's been awhile, so it was nice. I was with three managers from other stores, who were in my course; and one of my fave managers from another store also joined us. ...He needed a beer, after having two customers faint from heat exhaustion in his store today.

Still hot like a crazy-poo. When I opened the bread loaf bag just now, I could feel the heat trapped inside, and there was condensation forming. I stuck it in the freezer.

Fleetwood Mac Rumours

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is on sale at iTunes. It's their best classic. If anyone is interested. And it's chock a block full of all the romancing and fighting going on at the time.

Me and the feets and the heats

Another freeking hot day. I wore my nice Teva sandals, but just the 10 min walk home from the train, with my hot/sweaty feet rubbing against the sandals, was enough to give me sore spots on my feets. Will have to wear runners and socks tomorrow.

For some reason both my trains, to and from, were 20 minutes late. What's the deal--trains can't run in heat?? Waiting wasn't too bad, though: I took out my umbrella (yes, I use my umbrellas as sunshades, I don't care who stares they're just jealous) and read Georgette Heyer on my kobo. I was prepared, baby.

That's 102.2 Fahrenheit for my friends down south

39 degrees with the humidity. And it's 1:30 AM. This is the kind of weather that leads to bloodshed. Whoever invented air conditioning should have gotten a Nobel peace prize. Tomorrow I have to go to a training session downtown for 8 AM. And I'm actually not complaining TOO much because, though it's an ungodly hour for me, it's still cooler than if I had to go downtown midday.

My One Remaining Cat (as I call her these days) still loves sitting out on the balcony at night, though. It's her favourite past-time, she'll stay out there as long as I leave the balcony door open. Just watching the stars. Or plotting her takeover of the planet, maybe.

BENVOLIO

I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire:
The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,
And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl;
For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.

Scenes from a family - The Starving Children

Scene: Fernando is petting Haley-cat. The TV is on, and a sad-music-poor-children-charity ad comes on.

Fernando - I don't want to watch something sad!
Mabel - Change the channel.
Fernando - I can't reach the remote, Haley won't let me.
[Haley climbs off Fernando.]
Mabel - Looks like Haley doesn't want to watch starving children either.
Haley - I want to EAT starving children!
Mabel - Haley. HALEY. HALEY! ...Inappropriate. Inappropriate.
