Can't say I'm surprised. Do tell!
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Good ghod, it's 97 out here in PA. And probably not cooler back in MA!
I have hung pictures and moved furniture until Mom is satisfied, so soon I can escape the Old Ladies Penitentiaryher retirement community, and not a minute too soon....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I assume this is for me....
I went to see him do a reading for Pissing in the Gene Pool. Afterwards, I went up to have him sign my copy. I told him to write "whatever you think is appropriate."
He signed my book, "Lukewarm and transparent - like most people."

Plus major league humidity. Whereas in Utah it's 97, but with 6% humidity. Bad enough, but if I can lay motionless in a shadow it's not too horrific.
I don't think I could bear to go back to Pennsylvania in summer.

Avoid DC at all costs - it's just as bad, possibly worse. As one writer described the air quality in the summer, "it's like trying to breathe clam broth."

Huh. I can see how that wouldn't be what you might have wanted...at the same time, I wonder if he was talking about himself.
Lukewarm and transparent - like most people, Henry (is).
He has certainly said stuff like that about himself in the stuff I've heard.
One flash of this came in the first episode I watched, where he interviewed Oliver Stone. Stone came in and made some comment about feeling like a child because the overstuffed chair they sat him in was really the size of a loveseat. (Kevin Smith quite cutely just curled up in it)
Henry was totally thrown and went on to fumble some apology...'we. have. um. big. chairs. um.' And then caught himself being a total pratt. The look on his face was something like 'what a dick am I?'

From the "things could be worse" department....
At least we're not all on Mars. Mars currently has a dust storm that's thousands of miles wide. Occasionally Mars will get a dust storm that covers the entire planet.

This was the thing when I was in Vegas -- sure, it was 106, which is hot as hell. But (a) dry heat, and (b) icy cold a/c everywhere. I was really only actively hot for minutes at a time.

Oy. VEY. Todd, have you been outside? I just took Bartleby out and nearly got thrown to the ground by the weight of the air.
I'm feeling like trundling down the block for a snack but I'm afraid I might need a rescue squad before I get back. Sheesh.
