I'm really the opposite. I can take high heat and with little discomfiture. In fact, 80F is my favorite temperature. I can't stand cold at all. In the Winter here I crank the interior temperature up to 80 whenever I'm home.

I'm not so tolerant of high humidity, but like I said, it's rare here.

I'm the opposite to your opposition. I love cold weather. Warm weather makes me feel too groggy, whereas cold weather gives me that nice, vibrant feeling in my veins. Plus snow can be just damn fun.

I would also like to thank you for introducing me to the word "discomfiture".

Same here. My brain shuts down when it's too hot weather, and it can make me feel sick too. I tend to quickly move into shadows and get some cold drinks. Piña coladas, anyone? And I'm a fan of fans.

To write or not to write, that is the question...

As Rainer Rilke said in his first letter in the series Letters to a Young Poet:

Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must", then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse.

The piece in question is a prose about one of the oldest character in fiction, still portrayed who has been overly abused by his followers and has probably the greatest number of authors linked to his name. I've always been critical of these petty authors who continue till date to write drivel about him; while they do mean well they succeed in adding nothing to the canon and write only too defile it further. My quandary lies in the doubt of my abilities to do the character justice where so many like minded have phenomenally failed...Not to mention that I'm supposed to be self learning QM right now and dealing with my course work...
There would have been no question if the piece were a poetry, prose on the other hand takes a lot of energy and time.

It's drizzling outside. What an awkward feeling of nostalgia.. not sure for what/who?

You're welcome, but I hope you looked it up and discovered I used it inappropriately here, as though it were an exact synonym for "discomfort," which it isn't. Not in this case.

Anyway, most people I know are like you, and say they would rather be too cold than too hot. I'm pretty sure you are all stark raving lunatics. Dante understood the intrinsically evil nature of cold and put cold at the very center of Hell, where Satan himself was frozen in ice.

Hockey, by this criteria, is the most evil of all team sports. In case you were wondering.

If you were a drizzle girl, I would image you like this.

How..But..

Edit: Btw, that's what I call a portrait of a lady. Thanks for sharing, dl. Beautiful.

He probably stole the idea from the Norse 'Hel' (etymological root of hell, obviously)
a frozen realm presided by a Goddess of the same name (She's also probably the prototype of the White Witch in Chronicles of Narnia)

With cold, you can cover up to regulate how warm you are, when it's hot and humid, you die. Period. End of story.

 

[HayleySarg]

Yeah, the weather is gross again. It's 92 here. It was 60 last week.

Yuck!

I'm not dead.

 

[Pythagorean]

Evo's correct. Due to the heat, your brains are getting scramble-fried like little eggie-weggies and you're hallucinating that you're alive.

 

[HayleySarg]

^ Yup, I saw it on history channel. must be fact.

Yup, zooby's a zombie.

I keep trying to tell my wife this.

I sleep with the a/c running and a fan on me. She has an electric blanket.

 

[HayleySarg]

I had a lot of work eating up my time, and some family stuff. Starting back in school this spring though! bwahahah.

I missed it here.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Evo's correct. Due to the heat, your brains are getting scramble-fried like little eggie-weggies and you're hallucinating that you're alive.

Hallucinatio ergo sum.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yup, zooby's a zombie.

I don't think so. I might have become one had I stayed in Minnesota and died in a snowbank like so many Minnesotans, but I left.

 

[collinsmark]

A bit of a break in the heat wave here, sort of [comparatively, at least]. Maybe it's just temporary.

Coincidentally, I dreamed of zombies again last night! They were the slow moving type, which made getting around a lot easier. I had to backtrack once because I forgot my keys, necessitating the weaving and dancing routine in and out of the zombie pack. It all went pretty smoothly though, more-or-less.

In other news, I played a little Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs last night before going to bed.

I actually had looked it up, and noticed that the definition didn't seem to quite fit with your sentence, but I'm a fan of leniency when it comes to the definition of words, so I didn't take issue with it. For me, the aesthetic quality of a sentence, and the syntax of it will always trump my care for the precise denotation of words.

I went to a new dentist today. They have a mandatory two-hour initial office visit, but they were running a bit late so it went over two hours. The hygienist was quite thorough, judging by how sore my gums are now.

 

[Pythagorean]

I submitted a paper to a journal today (yay!)

Cheers, Pyth !

Yippee and such!

Great Pythagorean! :)

I really need a break, see everyone later...
And Congrats Pyth.

Today, it's supposed to be 97'F, a new record. And 80+% humidity. It was nice knowing you all.

Gets large box fan, points it NW in Om's direction, turns it on high.

Don't worry OM, relief is heading your way!

 

[HayleySarg]

When it's that hot, a box fan doesn't help.

I am crazy enough to want to hike today after work. Hmm.
