oh god. it's 82 degrees at 10pm

The fact that Curse the Dark takes place during a heat wave in Manhattan? Total coincidence. Really. Please don't hurt me.

Anyway. Too hot to work. Too hot to even watch tv. (although watching the promos for "Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy" are really making me fear for humanity. This got greenlighted? What drugs are the folks at Sci-Fi on, and why aren't they sharing?)

But not to hot to meme, apparently, as I've been tgged by deire:

"Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.."


working in a darkroom (something I haven't been able to do for far too long)
riding horseback (see above. I need to fix that.)
reading a brand-new and wonderful book (or re-reading a familiar and wonderful book)
dancing
and the #1 thing that calms, destresses, and just generally makes me happy? Sprawling somewhere with the felines and having their sweet, totally independent-minded love remind me why the collective human 'we' brought them in from the barn.




(of course, putting this list together, I realize that there's probably one thing nobody's put on their list that everyone _should_ put on their list... *evil grin*)

Yep. The very definition of "it goes without saying." (Well, aside from that really cool vehicle in The Phantom Tollbooth that required silence to move... :-)

Miss my horses. Badly.

If there's anything more relaxing than a few planned hours of planned play resulting in multiple orgasms, I haven't been introduced to it, and would like to be.

For now, though....

Why does it really not surprise me that, of all the things I've posted recently, it was the not-quite-direct references to sex (and violence, earlier) that got actual responses?

:-P

I wasn't actually responding to anything, except the actual question itself.

I mean, cooking is great and I do it very well, but there's prep and cleanup.

Shopping is great, but there's money involved, mental budgeting, physical movement that involves being upright for long periods.

Music isn't relaxing, because I've been so deeply involved in it, it's never just music - there's always a memory, usually tender or ouchy.

Multiple orgasms? No pressure. No problem.

So it's my fave way to relax...

You need to buy an air conditioner for at least one room. If nothing else, it makes the multiple orgasm business that much easier in this weather.

There's one in the dining room, but the fans actually create a nice cross-breeze in the living room which does the job better (and cheaper, since the a/c unit looks to be of an older sort), I suspect.

The problem is having one in my bedroom, because I wake up with itchy sinuses and a sore throat. Rock and a hard place, unfortunately.

You might try to add some humidity to your room whilst the ac unit is busy removing all traces of moisture.

Perhaps one of those nifty ultrasonic "cool mist" units. I bet you could keep up with the ac unit and still not be stuck sleeping in a swamp.

Just a thought to try and save you from melting.
Can't have you melt, need more books.
