too hot to write.

it's like a zillion degrees today. and here in my 1930s farmhouse, there is no air conditioning. instead, i have an attic fan, several ceiling fans, lots of open windows, and the occasional kind breeze. it's not bad if you don't have to move or think or breathe. all the noise from all the fans makes this weird almost inaudible sound. it's like a hum that rests inside your brain instead of inside your ear. messing with your ability to process thoughts. and making it always seem like a phone is ringing in the distance.

i have been sitting at the computer for the past hour trying to create this post but nothing comes. my brain is constantly getting up and answering an invisible phone while my fingers sluggishly try to type their way back to the page. i suppose it doesn't really matter. nothing new to report. stella is still pregnant. del ray has not beaten his two day record yet. and he still makes the same face.

a hot brief update.

my blog has been pretty neglected. st louis has been in a heat warning advisory for the past week. i don't know what i did in a past life. but karma struck again and killed our upstairs air conditioning. we think it's the condenser. who knows? so we've been camping out in the living room downstairs. having a slumber party with all the animals. meanwhile the poor computer is left by its lonesome to sweat it out upstairs until further notice.

since it's hotter than hell up here. i'm gonna make this brief.

we've put a contract on a 1930s farm house complete with 7 fenced acres of pasture, a pool and two big ol' barns. hopefully we will know monday if our bid is accepted.

i've been getting used to my scar (see updated pic).

we are finishing mixing on the new wormwood scrubs album "warrovish". some songs have already been posted on our myspace page.

and the bestest news of all, i get to have my very first colonoscopy this week thanks to some GI bleeding.

we cried uncle.

after a week of 100 degree weather, we acquiesced to the power of climate control. we bought a second air conditioner.

porkchop approves.

porkchop is very happy with his new cool house. he takes a break from watching tv to pose for a picture as he reclines in comfort.
