PrideFest stage

heat wave

premise 1: my apartment faces west, sits on 7th (top) floor, and has a single window of ventilation roughly 2x3 feet. since it has no ventilation, it is consistently 15F warmer than the outside temperature
premise 2: seattle is experiencing a heat wave

friday: rental AC unit installed, which becomes the only source of ventilation. within 5hrs of use, it stops cooling. bedroom temp: 84
saturday: replacement AC arrives. within 3hrs of use, it leaks water and needs to stay off. bedroom temp: 86
sunday: another replacement AC arrives. within 6hrs of use, it stops cooling, same issue as friday. bedroom temp: 90

shoot me now...

Graduation cakes
For a recent chemistry grad student

summer is creeping closer

monthly updates seem to be my new blogging schedule. so, without further adieu...

1. temporarily setting aside photo uploads... i'm too far behind and too busy until summer is over
2. SF trip over memorial weekend was quite fun and extremely food-filled - made chick-fil-a nuggets for a crawfish boil, attended a beautiful wedding, overloaded on hot pot and chinese food, and discovered roti buns. yuuuummy!
3. i am easily creeped out by the "overly nice" guys
4. sometimes i feel i should get a dog to alleviate boredom and loneliness
5. ps4 is a strong possibility in my future
6. ah yes, summer. when 9pm sunsets really screws up my body clock
7. i dislike the media and news when they overreact
8. trying to force a normal sleep schedule for myself by scheduling morning weekend activities... we'll see how long this lasts
9. gaki no tsukai's annual no-laughing batsu games are the death of me. too hilarious (an example)
10. i need a major life changing event...
