dead air conditioners
Last night the cooling unit in my window air conditioner died one one of the hottest evenings/weekends ever. Joy. Thankfully, it had died after the sun set so the place was moderately cool, and remained so due to a relatively low humidity.
Sadly, it did not rise in the evening as one of the legion of the dead. It stayed dead.
I went to rugby practice last night for the first time this season and did pretty well. While my sprinting muscles are wimpy, I am glad I have been running over the summer. We have a lot of new players, and a lot of people from last year have not shown up, or at least that's what it looks like. It was very hot and I sweat a lot and drank three glasses of ice water at the bar, but stopped short of another pint as I don't want to end up like this DC cop.
Later on in the virtual world I met up with Sean's virtual goth character on City of Heroes. But he switched to a character closer in level to my Celtic tanker, and went on some patrols and kicked Troll butt. I hear tell there will be a Celtic add-on to the game soon, where my character's Versace pants will then fit in with the adventuring area.
My friend Gurl has been busy this week on the Internets. She found the glitteriest Bigmuscle profile ever (scroll down), replete with butterflies and glitter! And she also found the longest web page in the world (scroll left-right).

I'm always telling people that they shouldn't drink so much water.
The whole water-craze has to stop. I read somewhere that people almost never die of dehydration while exercising, but deaths from hyponatremia are becoming increasingly common.

I've had too much water before while outside under the hellish Arizona sun. Very unpleasant after effects.

funny what some folks idea of "big" and "muscle" are...

Ew. That's why I go to Big Muscle Bears instead. It filters out the glitter girls.

That BigMuscle profile is maybe the funniest fucking thing I've ever--EVER--seen. I shot milk from my nose, which is funny in that I was drinking limeade at the time.
Does glitter princess 'heartbreaker' seriously expect to get laid with that profile? Heh...
Oh, and it was cool teaming up on CoH--anytime you want a redux, LMK.
xo-
S!
