laughing in the heat

hey peepz, can i start by saying it is SO HOT outside!! i just love trying to fall asleep with as little fidgeting as possible so as not to risk raising my body temperature enough to make me sweat even more...yech.

anyhow, so i went to the San Jose Improv comedy theatre yesterday night, and despite the heat that plagued comedian and audience alike, i had a blast!! the featured comedian, Tony Dijamco, was awesome; really funny, and seemed to connect well with the audience. And the headliner, Jake Johanneson, also very funny; his performance wasn't as consistently funny as Tony's, as there were some slow parts, but the funny parts were super hilarious--there were a couple times he said something soooo funny--I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes. I've seen some standup on TV but it is so much better live!! i had no idea. highly recommend seeing a live standup show.

i don't want to spend another 50,000 words talking about BFL for fear that I'll have to rename this entire blog after it, so I'll keep the update short. i haven't missed a workout yet, which is good. it's been tough sticking with the nightly planning, i'd say that was my hardest part of the challenge. some nights i get home from work and i just want to not think about anything, be kind of an automaton for a while. i've been playing way too much Spider Solitaire lately, for that very reason. so bad for my BFL habits though, and of course when i don't take time to plan i either start feeling bad about it, or i end up procrastinating til i should be sleeping, then write out a quick plan, and then feel bad anyway because i won't get to sleep enough, which i promised myself i'd do as part of keeping up with BFL.

pptttthhhbbtt is what I say about it now. sometimes it's important to check in with the motivation factor, make sure i'm still pushing forward, but sometimes it's also necessary to just coast for a little bit, let the brain cells and positivity have a rest. now is one of those resting times i think.

Dude. Spam comments are super annoying. I wonder if Google is working on that. I looked at a friend's blog tonight and it had two in a row. :P

It is super hot. Really unusual for August in Berkeley. I remember my 1L year (2002) it was freeeeezing in August and all the East Coasters looking to move to the sunny California coast were dying. Oops. It's kind of funny, normally I find that October is the best time of the year, at least in the East Bay. Temperate, cool, but not too cool -- sunny and just warm enough to be happy but not hot enough to be sweaty. Ahhh...

That was definitely not today though. I went running and I could literally feel the heat radiating around my head in a cocoon of intolerable warmth. Oh where, oh where is the Bay Area breeze, oh where oh where can it be?

On that cheezy note, g'night...
