We Had A Nice Run...

...but, the humidity finally got the better of us yesterday and we turned on the air conditioning. We should be proud, we made it until the middle of July before we decided to turn on the air conditioning, which is about a month and a half longer than we made it last year. The good news is that, looking at the weather for the week, it should be a short time that it will be turned on. Also, I have no idea why this is the case, but I sleep great in the air conditioning. Couldn't give you a legitimate reason, but I sleep like a log when the A/C is humming.

-Hang on, did the Emmy's get kinda cool? Family Guy nominated for best animated series and best comedy? They're not gonna win, but just to be recognized is surprising. Also, How I Met Your Mother got a nomination for best comedy. Could just be because Neil Patrick Harris is hosting this year, but still, that's two shows I watch. The ratio is almost never that high. Then Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake got nominated for "Motherlover". It's almost as if comedy is starting to be valued.

-I thought NASA was full of smart people? If that's the case, then why the hell do they keep doing the same launch techniques, then acting surprised when the shuttle gets hit with a large piece of foam time and time again? After all, Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. You know those guys have to know who he is.

-Oh, I'm almost swayed. Honestly, I'm a great barometer about whether or not something is still socially cool. Telling me that something is getting played out and is on the way to being over is usually the fastest way to get me to join.

-A couple weeks ago a friend and I were conversing about how the decade is almost over (went by fast, didn't it?) and how we're not sure what this decade is going to be defined by. Well, considering the decade started with the fear of Y2k and then was followed by 9/11 it certainly wouldn't be known for being carefree. And with 2009 all of a sudden becoming the year that icons seemed to drop like flies, it's not exactly looking like it's going to end on a high note, now is it?
