OK, here’s the deal…
This week’s theme was predetermined a while ago. The calendar does what it does, I don’t control it. And days ago, I began thinking through what I wanted to say this week to try to make you idiots laugh. Because I think I’m funny even if you don’t.
Then, this week, life intervened and I didn’t get this post written in advance like I had planned. Also, I feel funny today, but in the wrong way.
I drank too much last night because….well, just because.
So today, I woke up still needing to write this post, but also with a really bad hangover. So, on the advice of someone who shall remain nameless, but his name rhymes with LemonJello…
I took a shot of vodka very early today. VERY EARLY. And admittedly, it helped the hangover. The next one helped even more.
But now I’m lazy and don’t wanna do anything. Well, other than go have some more shots. So I’m gonna. And I might be totally hammered by the time this post gets written. We’ll see what happens. Don’t get your hopes up for much, however. You’ve been warned.

Looking Forward To Autumn
Yesterday at 6:07am EDT, the summer solstice occurred. Which makes today the first full day of summer.
Yeah? Well summer can fuck right the hell off.
It’s been summer here for over a month no matter what the calendar says. And I used to love summer. I really did. I don’t anymore.
Granted, a lot of that has to do with the humidity where I live now. I don’t mind sweating if I’m playing sports or performing an activity which warrants perspiration. But if I just walk outside and I feel sticky within 30 seconds? Screw that.
When I lived in Arizona, it was hot as Hades in the summer, of course. And the standard joke was “But it’s a dry heat”. Yeah, well lemme tell ya it does make a difference.
Evaporative cooling.
In the desert, you get that. Of course you do also have to stay hydrated so you don’t die. But when you sweat there, it evaporates. Which cools your body.
And Bonus!!!!! You don’t feel sticky and nasty. At least not as much.
Not true in areas where the humidity is high. That moisture in the air prevents your perspiration from evaporating as fast. So you get less of a cooling effect, and you feel like a sweaty stinky pigmonkey.
That’s been my life for the past month or more. I’m already sick of it.
It sucks.
But of course, summer isn’t just going to go away, so we have to deal with it.
I think that dog has the right idea.

I realize I’m being a whiny bitch today. DON’T CARE!!!!!
I also realize some folks live in worse summer areas than I do. Well that’s their fucking fault. Just like putting up with it here is my own fucking fault.
When I was on the west coast last month, the temperatures and humidity levels HERE were already spiking. Yet where I was in California, the days were dry and in the low to mid 70s, and the nights were cool.
One more check mark in the “yes” column. It’s really stacking up quickly in California’s favor. Plus….this…
And this…
I think you get my point.
But sadly, now I’m back here in the sticky southeast. At least for the time-being. And even right now, I’m sweating. I’ve got the ceiling fan on high and the A/C is running. But because I went outside earlier to do a few things, I’m still sitting here sweating. Blech.
So, Imma have some more vodka (shocking, I know), and finish this post, and then go stand under the cold water in the shower for about an hour. One has to have a plan, right?

Finally A Summer I Can Get Behind
(phrasing)
Summer Glau
Oh don’t act so surprised. Plus she’s awesome.
I had seen her in passing before (Firefly , etc), but didn’t really notice her fully until she played “Cameron” in the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles series.
Her character, Cameron, was a really hot (of course, why not?) Terminator sent back to present day Los Angeles to help teenaged John Connor with his homework. I think. Shit I don’t remember.
And of course like all the Terminators in the Terminator Universe (and in spite of being really attractive?) …. She was cold, socially inept and devoid of meaningful emotions.
So of course she was right up my alley and appealed to my unfortunate tastes in women right away.
(see I told you I’m funny)
Plus she did cool shit like this…

Also Lena Headey and Shirley Manson…yes.
But their day in the sun will have to wait. Tonight it’s Summer Glau, everybody!!!!!
Born: July 24, 1981 (36 y.o), San Antonio, TX
Height: 5′ 6″
True story bro…In college, I very briefly dated a girl who looked just like her.
Enjoy….
“Come with me if you want to live”
(that means two things)
Don’t have to ask me twice, let’s do it.

In Conclusion
Summer Glau is hot in a good way.
Summer is hot, but not in a good way.
I’m badly in need of a drink and a shower. And I probably smell kinda bad, too.
And with all due respect to Don Henley, this cover is far superior.

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay cool.
Love ya’s.
(even if I do smell bad right now)

Do you have a “request” or an idea for a future TGISF theme? Drop me a line…

Perfect.
Update: I’m sacrificing the Dogfish Festina Peche. Unless I wake up and decide to smash it on the fake granite counter and see how that works.
Whatever mischief she’s looking for, I’m down.
So the open bar did not produce any drama. I’m legitimately shocked.
In other news, WHY DIDN’T THE ICE GIANTS DRAFT OLIVER WHALSTROM???

This is my test to see if Seamus is still awake
I was awake, but had retired from the online thing for the night by then.
But holy shit, I’m glad I checked back today.
I’ve got something she can try on.
What an inspiring phrase at the top of the 12th: ORIOLES DUE UP

Ok, apartment is all packed up. Which means I had to open this bottle of La Folie with another beer bottle. So what happens when I’m out of unopened beer bottles for that last beer?
Screw you hippie.
Use a key. Or a lighter. Or anything solid?
Things have taken a downturn here in Yinzburgh. Downtown, really the North Side, where PNC Park and Heinz Field are, looks very, very tense.
For those who don’t know, a 17-year-old unarmed black kid was shot and killed by East Pittsburgh Police on Tuesday evening, and the last few nights have been filled with protests. These have all been peaceful, though, they did manage to shutdown the Parkway East inbound last night. All of the protests the last few days haven’t had any air of problems; hell, I saw protesters sharing water and pop with the police yesterday.
This, however, has a much more tense vibe.
Everything about this one is so flagrant that the fucking people who put him on the force should be going to jail too.
The officer was literally sworn into the force two hours before it happened.
Never heard of it.
But didnsee a car with a huge Sherriff Joe for Senate magnet on the side.

While we are on the subject; this should cheer everyone up.
Well the Ice Giants draft party was… whelming.
I take it no BoTG?
We needed a waiver that we didn’t know existed and couldn’t locate otherwise to get down for a decent amount of the activities and experiences (like photobomb John Giannone and Dave Maloney while talking about the picks), never seemed to find last year’s first-rounders who they had on hand to talk about the draft, and were unsuccessful in procuring free shit.
You could tell who was at the Garden for which event fairly easily though, as the other event was a Harry Styles concert.
I saw a short movie about this.
This cfl game is crazy if you can get it.
“Disgraceful performance what a fucking joke getting embarrassed consistently by no name pitchers”
“Yankees didn’t lose when Clint Frazier was in the lineup”
“LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RELY ON THE HOMERUN”
Yankees Twitter everyone! The team is 27 games over .500, lose one game and these idiots crawl out of the wall.
That is delicious.
You’re just trying to give me a stroke tonight I think.
No, the other kind.
Boots on the ground report from the Feelies show at the 9:30 Club. This is a fantastic band. Kind of a Velvet Underground/Modern Lovers feel. Very warm, catchy songs. This is my fourth time seeing them. First set was mostly made up of songs from the two most recent albums from 2011 & 2017. They’re on break now. Second set should be loaded with deep cuts & covers. They do Rocks Off, Sedan Delivery, Paint It Black, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide, Except For Me & My Monkey, Real Cool Time, What Goes On etc. Crowd is 70-30 men to women, and we’re all OLD.
They should call their next album “Sausage Party”
Tell me if they do ‘The High Road’
Yep. Right after the large set of new ones, they played that.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve said that. Amirite????
That movie was a lot of fun.
So the JFF’s are about to play. We are 1 hit away for Johnny Fucking Football eh!!!
I wish I could watch that broadcast. You know how you’re all stuck inside in December anyways so the nfl is such an easy watch, even if it kinda sucks? I think that’s CFL JFF in a summer like this.
Lightning delay in Edmonton. It has been stormy all over the province today, we got hail down here. Eskimos were in a huge delay last week in Winnipeg as well.
It is ok though because climate change is a hoax.
