It is so fucking HOT. Relief is allegedly in sight, thunderstorms predicted for tonight and tomorrow, but right now every time I go outside I feel like I am literally in an oven.

Yesterday I fortunately had a mostly air conditioned schedule. I proctored a practice exam for a few hours. I had forgotten to bring a book, which seemed like it was gonna make the hours crawl, but I did remember to bring my L word fanfic notebook, and I happily entertained myself for three hours writing out longhand some ridiculous "L-word goes to summer camp in the nonexistant past" adventures. I don't often write on paper for that long at a stretch and it was so much fun and tons easier to focus with no internet available. I had been thinking of trying to spend more time reading and writing not on a computer, and this clinches it, its a whole different ball game and one I enjoy playing.

After the proctoring, I went to see Mamma Mia at the Ziegfeld with Jen and my cousins and my mom and my aunt and some other family friends. That movie was FUN. I was giggling and singing and I didn't even care that it was a ridiculous plot and sort of a poorly made film. Who cared? I thought Meryl Streep sort of rocked it too...and her pals too. To see oldish chicks just really having a great time and romantic dramas and jumping on beds and getting drunk and being the heroine...it was really great.

After the movie dinner and some music outdoors at Lincoln Center and then over to Darby's boyfriend Jason's birthday drinks at what used to be my laundromat in a former incarnation of Avenue A. The bar was chill for a while and it was really nice to see the always lovely and elusive Ms. Jessica Glazer, but then it got packed and Jen was like, lets blow this pop stand. So we went home and had pizza and cuddles.

Vacation in two weeks!
