    I second the love of cold. It is better to be cold than hot in my opinion. You can put on more and more layers, but you can only take off so many before you get arrested for exposing yourself to the playground.

    Plus, with the right heating system you pay way less for keeping your house warm than cool. With radiators and a pellet boiler in the house we are moving to, we are looking at about 250 bucks for heat and hot water for an entire year.

    That is a monthly electric bill for running an AC in 90 degree weather I would imagine.

    Man, I went up to a spot in the woods I go to often, and haven't been to in a month and a half, and the whole area is just covered in blueberry and black currant bushes, all ripe. I need a team of mexicans to come and pick them all, but they are in short supply here.

    I prefer cold weather to hot too. You are in more control of your body temp if you dress right.

    This doesn't sound too bad today.

    Strip joints are a far different place when you're sober than when you have half a quart of whiskey sloshing around your stomach. If anyone wants my opinion, go for the booze.

    Also, David Bowie is certainly a freak of the first order, but when he was on he was on.

    Do you have an electric chair running in your basement? I have a one bedroom apartment but my monthly bill is under $30.

    There is something highly wrong. Call your electric/water company. My town has one of the highest millage rates in the entire country. We have 2 central A/C units and our bill is $450 in the summer. It's only that high because I had no idea we had a water leak costing us well over an extra $75.

    Some people have bills over $800 a month here. They also like to keep their A/C at 65 degrees because they're fucking retarded. Mine is at 78.

    I need to look up the Kw rates. It's just insane. 2 months ago our bill was $245 and I freaked out and was super careful about turning off all the lights, entertainment station, computers, etc, and I got it down a whole $20.

    Looking into it: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.heco.com/vcmcontent/StaticFiles/pdf/20110112_TieredElectricRates.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.heco.com/vcmcontent/StaticFi ... cRates.pdf</a>

    The thing is, on my bill there are several lines, like base fuel energy, non fuel energy, energy cost adjustment, purchased power adjustment. In other words, I have no clue what I'm looking at and will probably have to call them on Monday. Unfortunately I think that the bill is correct because according to that chart, since we are in the bottom tier, we should be paying somewhere around $190.

    If I've said it once, I've said it a dozen times. Fuck this island.

    You obviously haven't considered all of your options:

    Weekend update:

    Requisite Makers Mark Friday night, followed by dinner at a Mexican joint. Mojitos suck, at least at this place, but the food is awesome.

    Saturday night at the track, teaching the Littlest Missanthropic how to pick the ponies. Poorly, as it turns out. BUt we did see a guy with a plastic nose, as well as the usual seedy types that haunt racetracks.

    Today - yardwork and PBR. But I'll redeem myself with some Sammy Summer Ale and a nice grass-fed sirloin I picked up at the farmer's market this morning.

    Abita Strawberry Lager + orange juice = good decision making.

    My Sunday will be by the pool. My apartment is clean. My nook is charged. I intend to do nothing else.

    Slow braised pork ragu? Yes. So I have a Boston Butt. Chunked it, salted it, seared the pieces in olive oil. Added 1/2 red onion, a small carrot, 6 cloves of garlic to all that pork fat and more olive oil, then threw in a 28 ounce can of San Marzano tomato puree, an extra 12 oz can of tomato sauce for good measure, about a cup of red wine, 1/4 cup of leftover beef broth, and a bunch of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. In about 2 hours I'm going to have some baller Fusilli and pork.

    Oh, porky. I've only recently discovered all the amazing things you do. Why must our forbidden love have bloomed so late?

    Attempted something new last night: Hitting on ladies (without knowing if they are into ladies).

    It was going so well until she vomited all over the floor.

    Alright y'all, if your boyfriend tells you he wants both of you to take some "thinking time," and you do not want time to think because you love said boyfriend and would walk through fire for him, how long do you have to wait before attempting to call an end to "thinking time"?

    Motherfucking fridge is on the fritz. Freezer is working fine, but there's no cold air in the fridge compartment. Although its about 115 in my garage, the fridge and the upright freezer out there are both working fine. And to top things off, the seal on the Polaris pump to the pool broke. Thank God we have a contract with AHS.

    And you don't want to know what my summer electric bill is. Two central AC units set at 70, pool equipment running 8 hours/day, electric washer and dryer (and daughters that just manufacture laundry--they could pull something out of the closet and not even wear it, but if it comes off the hangar, it needs to be washed), 2 fridges and an upright freezer, and electric tankless hot water system. If I could cut it in half I'd be driving a Range Rover.

    On a brighter note, grilled salmon with orange, ginger and Dijon mustard glaze. And I put up a pot of gumbo for tomorrow night.

    I disagree. Maybe he senses that she is way way more into him and the relationship than he is and he wants to back off, perhaps permanently. Only one way to find out, though.

    If he is the one who called for the thinking time, then he needs to be the one who calls it off. And I hate to say this, but I tend to agree with Ballsack here.

    The Sack speaketh true.

    This guy is on his way out, but wants you to end it for him. If it was real, he should know. I'm sorry, but it's over. Been there, so I feel for you.
