too effing hot

well i went for my walk. a good ten miles or so.

in other news i am brain damaged.

haha i went for a swim and biked home p refreshed (its only like 10 mins) and when i got home my apt was hotter than outside. i turned on the a/c sorry planet earth u had a good run

Yes, I run in the heat. I just go slower and drink sufficient fluids.

So apparently we're all under some kind of *HEAT DOME* -- because it being hot outside needs to be some kind of scary-sounding new phenomenon and not just it's hot

or need a title for Mad Max IV

tbh it does feel an awful lot like what i imagine being in that pig shit methane farm under bartertown would feel like right now

Those anti global warming dudes are all recalling a mere two Chicago summers ago, when there were no days that even hit 90, and several in the 70s.

That was blissful. I didn't even bother installing the A/C unit that year.

TS: anti global warming dudes justifying their beliefs based on an extremely small sample size vs global warming dudes doing the same thing.

let the A/C run all night, a rare indulgence, bcz at 7am today it was 85

103F / 39C

index 115F / 46C

Golfing tonight. Expected to be 95 at tee off.

Word of warning: remember to hang onto the club after follow-through.

it's going to be too effing hot to leave work at 5:30

this is probably the one day this year when i wish i had to get up at 6 to go into work instead of going in at 2.

guys, nelly has provided a simple solution to this problem that you would all be well-served by remembering

so it's 101 in Baltimore with a "heat index" of 136

looking up what a heat index of 105-130 is, I find: "Danger — heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is probable with continued activity" ; since today we're at 136, this produces: "Extreme danger — heat stroke is imminent"

yikes!

imminent!

I am drinking one of these and trying to decide if it is disgusting or really, really delicious:

Not good at drinking lots of water to beated the heat, so I'm focusing on yuppie sodas.

Looks like it should be sold on etsy tbh

how i roll

I'm a Pelligrino girl myself. Perrier is ultra fizzy!

just trying to calculate the number of iced coffees sold on one square block in midtown is making my head spin

for those of you making them at home just remember that instant bustelo is your ticket to frenzied incoherence

i am usually like an eight-year-old when it comes to staying hydrated with water vs. sugary garbage, but i am pretty sure i have had four gallons of h20 in the last two hours.

98 right now. fabulous day for an outdoor wedding; to which i will wear a black suit.

ew. i am pretty much done pretending to give a shit about suits at summer weddings. i wear short sleeve button downs, no tie.

the number of answers ott is like the degrees

destroyer this is an excellent opportunity to "rock" the suit + flipflops gestalt

oh man if it was with any audience other than my gf's family...

I was in a wedding in 03 or so in August, highs in upper 90s, bridesmaids in long black dresses, and we were all supposed to get ready at a friend's not air-conditioned house. Also the rehearsal dinner was outside. The couple divorced three months later, probably under the weight of all the curses heaped upon them by their bridal party.

i would rather puke 5 times than get ready at that house

i'm sorry but u ppl who have ur weddings outside in july or august have a screw loose

OTM.

I came close to puking. I mean, the bedroom where all the readying was to occur was in the attic!!! There were dressed up women hiking up their black dresses and standing over fans all over the place.

Plus imagine trying to put on wedding make up in those conditions.

As it slides right back off?

I was going to read a book in my air-conditioned room today, but work drama has forced me to my computer in the other room. And now I find myself on ILX instead of back in bed. How'd that happen??

on the plus side you have just described the opening scene of a soft-core porno

i really can't think about this

i would have sued

Time for lunch.
It's too hot to eat, ffs.

same here.

I'm going to be hungry soon, but I really don't want to walk down the sidewalk for a cheeseburger.

i just walked down the sidewalk for a sandwich and started crying

I sort of want/need to accomplish some things today but it seems like even walking two blocks to catch an air-conditioned bus might be a mistake?

its too effing hot

It's been horrid for a week out here in the unpleasant plains, but we're used to ac all the time from June to September. I've been taking long walks at 7am each day & it feels like the whole town is out, in preparation for hiding again all day.

cannot believe how nauseous I get in this weather

yesterday my company had their annual summer picnic outside, on the island, on THE HOTTEST JULY DAY IN TORONTO'S HISTORY! it actually wasn't *too* bad. we drank alot and did some activities, but had the shade of the trees most of the time.
also: water balloon fights help cool you down (a bit)!

tbf the island is like ten degrees cooler than the city
