jesus fuck on a fucking pogo fucking stick h. *christ* it’s hot

i take back everything and anything i have ever said in the past about not minding the heat. i was wrong. i was deceiving myself and i was deceiving whoever the hell i was blathering at. i fucking do mind. this hundred and five heat index shit is … it’s not for the birds, the birds are probably fucking dead from heat stroke, aren’t they?!

GODDAMN. i know i’m whining. i know i’m kinda being a broken record on the “this heat wave sucks” front. but christ. i cannot go to work without feeling like i need to take another shower as soon as i get there. it’s disgusting out there. it’s like walking through a fog bank. a thick fog bank. a thick hot fog bank. it’s foul out there. you almost certainly know that already (unless you’re a niquiblog reader who happens to live in, say, new zealand and it’s winter, you lucky bastard), but oh my god it’s just plain bad out there. this shit had better break soon. i’ve got sox versus yankees tickets for next week and i don’t want to die of heat stroke in section 528.

i am a capitalist pig

but i am also an idealistic environmentalist idiot.

(i’ve been reading about a lot of different futures trading stuff lately for work. i think i almost know what calls and puts are now.) anyawys, i stumbled across this during my googlewanderings. i like the idea of personal carbon trading, and not just because i naively underestimate my own personal usage of energy and thus my contribution to pollution-related ugliness. though i do raelly like the idea of riding my bike to work not just saving me money on my car or on cta, but also giving me some sort of commodity i can trade away for extra cash. because really, i am a capitalist pig american just like the rest of y’all. though, you know, i do try and turn off the lights when i leave the room, and i’ve only been running my a/c units when it’s hotter than hell outside (like, you know, since last thursday because i couldn’t cope anymore). so i’d like to think i would be able to recoup some money. at least enough for that shiny new front basket i’ve been eyeing for my shiny new bike.

TEAM COVERAGE!!!!! ONLY ON FOX NEWS!!!!!

i love the teevee by my cube. fox news is sooooooo concerned about the heat wave.

news flash: it’s super hot out! this groundbreaking story brought to you by WFLD-TV! … in other news, my left sandal broke a strap on the way to work, walking up jackson to cross clark street. it was entitled, i suppose, as these shoes are six or seven years old (though only infrequently worn), but still, i am sad. if only i had gorilla glue at work, i could haxx0r my shoe!

chicago, etc none

no kidding?

907 PM CDT sun Jul 30 2006 …Excessive heat warning remains in effect until 8 PM CDT Tuesday… An excessive heat warning remains in effect until 8 PM CDT Tuesday. According to the Illinois environmental protections agency… elevated ozone levels on Monday will compound the situation with unhealthy conditions for frail and sensitive individuals. An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of dangerously hot temperatures is occurring. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids…stay in an air conditioned room if possible or at least spend some time in a cooled location…stay out of the sun…and check up on relatives and neighbors. Provide water and shelter from the sun for pets. Residents of the city of Chicago should call 3 1 1 for information on locations of…and transportation to…city cooling centers. Expires:311030 gmt

now, to contemplate whether or not this scuttles my plans for biking to work. it’s only like four miles … but the return trip would be four miles through a 105�F heat index. which does not sound particularly appealing now (and i suspect will sound even less so at 1530 tomorrow). otoh, dude, i totally have a water bottle…

stupid foul weather screwing with me wanting to take the shiny new bike out for a spin!

yes, please continue to not trade brandon

MLB has an article today talking about (among other things) the macdougal acquisition… and how KW is still not trading brandon mccarthy. yay! this makes me happy. i like our goofy-looking rookie, and he does good work, and it would make me sad to give such a good player (“…the 25-year-old right-handed reliever who probably will be part of the White Sox starting rotation in 2007.”) away to someone else who would then win games with him.

also, in addition to him being a fine pitcher (which i, jealously, wish to hoard for our team) i find it really entertaining to watch brandon. especially when he’s wearing his socks up high, dude is eighty-hundred and nine feet (and two inches) tall!
