I just had to go pick up the kiddo from school and it's such a gorgeous day (sunny, breezy and 70) - tell me WHY THE HELL I CAME BACK TO WORK?

It really is an amazing day here.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I lament the passing of my convertible on days like this more than ever... a sunroof is good, but it ain't the same.

So...why exactly do you hate LA again? (you don't actually have to answer that)

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Just know that it is cold and rainy (but foggy and MOODY!) up in SF.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I recant... I don't hate LA so much as I feel like LA isn't the place I want to call home foreverafter.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(I like rain, too).

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Meanwhile, I'm still at work.

This sucks big green weenies.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Rains up nawth, hon...

― ModJ (ModJ), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:32 (twenty-two years ago)

'zactly - that's why I'm gonna move to SF.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Please get a job first. I speak from exp.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe you have that covered, I don't know.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe it's none of my business either.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I was into the gray and rain when I first moved to Berkeley, but then it drove me mad when it was that way for like 3 months straight!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I do have it covered, but thank you, sug.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:53 (twenty-two years ago)

(well, part time job + Berkeley)

Haha, this is all relative, Spencer.

― @d@ml from london (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

haha.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Though it is funny when I am speaking to friends/family on the phone and they are saying "Oh, it must be WONDERFUL in California right now...".

When I was looking for a place to live, one friend even suggested that I shouldn't be too concerned as I could always just camp out with all my belongings in the glorious Bay Area sunshine...

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahahahahaha

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The sun didn't make an appearance today. Windchill of 18F.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be at Disneyland all weekend. I'm bringing my swim trunks.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I had to walk to the bank in the rain and start paying for my TV and iPod. Damn you all to heck.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Have fun! :)

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

It's "The Happiest Place On Earth"™ I think if I don't have fun, I'll be forced to.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

With guns. Disney guns.

just remember, @d@m, how fucking hot and sunny and fucked it was in August and September. It will get that way soon enough. I for one am relishing this last bit of winter before everything gets sunny and bright and it's all springtime and hot weather and sweating and looking at the long year ahead of you and all the mistakes you can make and all the things that will inevitably go wrong.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

if i really WERE an Eisbär, then today would be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

i'm not, so it isn't

― WINDCHILL BELOW ZERO MOTHERFUCKERS (llamasfur), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

it's like Siberia here for the past week.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Let me say this one more time. Summer in the Bay Area RULED. I can't wait for it to happen again.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Summer in L.A. was pretty mild last year. Beautiful actually.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate you all!!!!!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah it was pretty good here last year - is it me, or have you noticed it being mild for the past couple years?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't windchill just a way to dramatize the weather? For people in cold areas to feel like they're really undergoing a trial by ice?

We don't have "windless-heat" factors in California after all...

"Well, folks, it's 96* degrees today, but without a breath of wind - that makes it 105* on the windless-heat scale..."

(Wow, we're talking about the weather... pretty soon I'll have a spot on the bench in front of the general store..)

― andy, Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, windchill makes a BIG DIFFERENCE.

Haha! and Northern Indiana/Michigan has "The Lake Effect"! Whatever...

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, as I recall, the year before had more unbearable summer days in our neighborhood (4 or 5 as opposed to 2003's 1 or 2)...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I've just put it out of my mind. I have weather senility.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I only remember because I was dying in my apartment, went to Target, Home Depot, even BestBuy and they were all OUT OF FANS!!!! It was like a bad dream (meaning both terrifying and cliched!).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

You have to buy them in March - otherwise everywhere is out come July. Kinda like how you have to buy your bathing suit in January.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

remind me in March!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Will do.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, Andy, you don't believe in "wind chill"? Obviously 96 without any wind feels like 96 -- a slight breeze would lower it. But a stiff breeze would lower it quite a bit!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 15 January 2004 01:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Pity I had to miss this thread and most of the day! It was lovely indeed from all I remember of it outside but I was mostly inside explaining to professors that telling your students that something would be instantaneously on reserves is not a good idea when there's usually a four day turnaround.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 January 2004 01:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds great, Ned.

― Fat Alberet (nordicskilla), Thursday, 15 January 2004 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It would have been even greater if I had the opportunity to hit them with clown hammers at the same time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 January 2004 03:35 (twenty-two years ago)

If by 'clown', you mean 'ball peen'*, then I concur.

(*am I the only one who thinks 'ball peen hammer' sounds like a euphemism?)

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 January 2004 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i think that "ball peen" sounds like past tense

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Thursday, 15 January 2004 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Today it's cold in Lexington. In physical and emotional climates both.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 15 January 2004 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, tonight.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 15 January 2004 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

dunedin is having its hottest summer ever. we've been hitting the 30 celsius mark constantly! who'd've thought?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 15 January 2004 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

six years pass...

Wow. Los Angeles is taunting me today.

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:23 (fifteen years ago)

I got up and am listening to "New Age Of Earth", smelt the coffee brewing, opened the doors to the deck and the sun is streaming in, palm leaves gently waving etc.

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:25 (fifteen years ago)

smelled not smelt

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:25 (fifteen years ago)

It is mild again here. Been in the high 70s all summer. REALLY nice.

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:26 (fifteen years ago)

making me miss LA right now tbh

― Aerosol, Friday, 13 August 2010 16:27 (fifteen years ago)

Well this was what I was wondering. How do you leave LA and NOT miss stuff like this?

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:33 (fifteen years ago)

Yes there are other places with climate like this, but not quite as much aewsomeness

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 16:34 (fifteen years ago)

there are places in the mediterranean with as much to recommend them as los angeles

― nakhchivan, Friday, 13 August 2010 16:54 (fifteen years ago)

Let's talk about them

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 17:16 (fifteen years ago)

barcelona <3

― Aerosol, Friday, 13 August 2010 17:18 (fifteen years ago)

That is one, yes. I like Barcelona.

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 17:19 (fifteen years ago)

Actually not mediterranean but Berlin was like this when I was there. So beautiful.

Maybe weather isn't all that, but it can be good for the soul.

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 17:20 (fifteen years ago)

But places with reasonably good weather and history and intrigue and exciting cultural opportunities, let's talk about them

What is Buenos Aires like?

― life behind bras (admrl), Friday, 13 August 2010 17:20 (fifteen years ago)

LA IS distracting as fuck today.

So beautiful, and I do NOT want to be inside, working. I will be leaving at 5:15 this evening.

― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Friday, 13 August 2010 17:30 (fifteen years ago)

buenos aires is supposedly pretty unpleasant in the summer
