The last day before summer

[susandennis]

Summer, to me, represents long, horrible hot days of unrelenting blinding sun. And tomorrow, that starts. Happily it's only for two months but those are generally two really long months. I'll turn on the air conditioner and be oh so grateful for it. I'll hunker down and try to not leave the house after 6:30 am. I'll bitch about it a lot here in my journal. Today promises to be cloudy until about noon and then it will begin. Labor Day cannot get here soon enough.



I did get out to snap some shots of the viaduct destruction. This is across the street from my condo on 1st Avenue. It's kind of fucking with my pool commute and will for a few more weeks. And then the entire road will be history. It's going to be weird without it.

I finished Season 3 of The Good Fight last night. Such a good show. Really. I'm going to get to the end of my book - Mrs. Everything - tonight. I'm really going to miss those people.

I'm now on day 3 of my new haircut and I'm more impressed every day. When you wear your hair short, you generally wait until it looks like shaggy shit to get it cut and then they cut is way too short and so you have a couple of new hair cut weeks until it gets right again for a while then lather, rinse, repeat. When you cut it yourself, you can go right to 'right again' immediately cause follow up appointments are really easy to get. Such a good deal all the way around.

No big plans for today. Sewing, crochet, baseball... the usual. And enjoying the last cool morning.

I've been cutting my own hair for years. It's a lot easier for me though because I just buzz it all off ;) But, I'm thankful that the $30 pair of clippers I purchased 6 or so years ago has 1. lasted this long, and, 2. saved me SO MUCH MONEY on going for haircuts.

I'm not even in it for the money savings but, heck yeah. I'm only one haircut away from recouping the cost of the flowbee!

I so yearn to run the AC all day. My boyfriend is super sensitive to the cold, though. He says his perfect in house temperature would be 85. *dies*

Having been unwilling to pay for CBS All Access (it's not like we can't afford it, it's the principle of the thing), we're only now getting to see Season 1. Yes, it's a good show, and it's probably better not to compare it to its parent -- it seems to have inherited some of the craziest aspects of the latter, and Diane just doesn't grab me the way Alicia did.

[susandennis]

yeah, it is so different than the Good Wife. and there are some whackadoodle bits for sure. i actually forgot about its parent by the end of the first season ...

Meanwhile I'm wondering if they kept the title sequence with the exploding objects (whose point I don't entirely get).

[susandennis]

want me to tell you? (I don't get it either but i do love it)

[rsc.livejournal.com]

Sure. It's not like it's an important plot point.

[susandennis]

It might be.... and just too cool for us to 'get'... Anyway... they kind of use the Shield model... Same music, same explosions, different objects exploding and different color filters on the visual for each season. I was surprised that I never once wanted to fast forward through it.
