Hey, can anyone recommend an easy randomizer?

My website launch giveaway [link] ends tonight, and I gotta pick the winner.

Going to the Ozarks this weekend, and planning on sipping icy margaritas while all the kiddos play in the river or lake (if the river's too low).

This'll be the first weekend "out" that I've had to do some work stuff while I'm on mini-vaca, and it's kind of weird. Just a the contest winner announcement and emails, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And in news of fiscal profligacy, I've left the a/c in my bedroom on low, and it is helping the living room, I'm pretty sure, even with the window open (the especially profligate part).

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

We occasionally do the A/c in one room for another. We also hung curtains on tension rods. One curtain separates the bedrooms and bathroom from the living room and another the separates the kitchen from the den. It shocks me how much a difference it makes in terms of keeping the heat out of the living room to use the curtains!

Erin, try random.org. I use it in class when kids present.

I keep my whole house bearable with two window units upstairs! And lots of strategic fans.

Today is going to be bad, weatherwise. It was already severely gross at 5:30. I'm just going to pretend it isn't as much as I can.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, they're talking about 101F around here today, before adding in all the heat index stuff. I'm working from home, and I plan to leave my air conditioned cave to go to the mailbox and go upstairs to visit my neighbor for a Torchwood viewing, and that's it.

Thanks, Kat!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, they're talking about 101F around here today

I like the use of "F" there. It's really aggressive to my eyes:

They are talking about 101 degrees. Fuck!

Or maybe that's just me because it was 104 here yesterday.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They're predicting that the heat index (what it feels like) will hit 120 today.

To quote the wicked witch, "I'm melting"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It's supposed to be 103 here in Maine today. This is ridiculous weather. Maine is supposed to be where people go to get away from the heat.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to see if I can get the Instant Watch on my iPod to work over the hospital network. That would be awesome.

I've been using Netflix streaming at work to watch stuff on the treadmill It's great for some things, like Luthor or Archer, but for some reason doesn't work for others, like Arrested development or Sportsnight.
