I just ran back screaming from San Diego with my feet on fire. It got down to 113 down there.. Yaay Fog!

i could be wrong, but i am betting yr local will be relatively cool inside.

and then i could meet the mysterious smushy.

but i am selfish that way. you drink where you are comfy.

*Double Goat*

Sweet! I do like a good stoop though!

do you know my address?

[identity profile] smushy.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The house with the nutty posters in the first floor window?

but you're on the third floor though, right?

[identity profile] gordonzola.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
far left door. whoo hoo! I have cold beer in an ice chest in my car. I don't want to carry it upstairs.

[identity profile] smushy.livejournal.com 2006-07-26 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I can't make myself like beer, but I'll bring somethin!

Portland was nasty, killing hot this weekend, in a month where our historical average high temp is 79. Sorry, dude.

[identity profile] dcart.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly cool for me. I'm heading up to SF one day this week and plan to meet up with miss smushy and probably ivorjawa. If it works out, I'd love to have you along with us.

today's high to be 88

It's supposed to be 10 degrees cooler here this weekend. Yay!

yay!

I did think about you the day before yesterday, wondering how you all were managing the heat. The day that I moved here -- to Eugene -- from Santa Cruz, it was 102. I was nauseated for the whole summer.

I was outside for about five minutes Sunday and got a heat rash. So, so attractive.

I'm glad you decided to flea this godforsaken state. It's hell. Even more so than usual!

I wish I had thought to stop by but I had no computer access and my brain was addled from the heat.

[identity profile] smallstages.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You should have. You would have been a welcome addition to my workday, which otherwise consists of charting my escape from Oregon back to California by researching every potential soy latte stop down I-5, from the Penske place to my new front door.

[identity profile] gordonzola.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
damn. and I'm sure you could have suggested a btter place to eat than Elmer's Family Restaurant in Salem.

[identity profile] smallstages.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, never eat in Salem. Period.

I would have told you to buy Corn Nuts at the Dairy Mart to tide you over, and then taken you to a fabulous lunch.

I'd say "next time," but I won't be here anymore soon. !!!

And I don't think even I will be able to find great places to eat in Irvine. If you are ever passing through Orange County, meet me in LA first.

Amen, my brother. The heat is appalling. Sorry I missed you on your trip, but I was in the Bay Area, which was a balmy 104 degrees in Oakland.

that heat was ridiculous. even worse cause i was in a car for a good bit of it. ugh. thankfully its cooled off a bit now. 63 this morning never felt so good. i still dont miss fog in june though :)
