High-80s in Seattle - can you believe it! I think the average is around 70 this time of year... and the highest temp in history this day of the year here was 92. The streets are practically steaming!

Our building doesn't have A/C. It's fine when I pop all the windows open, but then all the tiny bugs fly in b/c we don't have screens. (I can stick my head (or anything really) out of the window and peer down seven floors below.) Ah, city living at its finest. I also live on the interior side of our horseshoe-shape building. It is a little disconcerting to have one's entire studio apartment open for the whole world (or at least my dozen or so neighbors) to see.

Eh, who am I kidding? It's not like there's anything all that interesting to see in my place (whoa, dude... look at her study!) Now my neighbors, on the other hand...
