The End of Summer


Can I just say how much I love the coming END of summer?

Can I just say how much I love the coming END of summer? Sometimes I think I belong in Seattle. I'm sorry, but most of Summertime is spend huddling in a dark, air-conditioned apartment. If it's over 85 degrees, I really feel no inclination to venture out. (Besides, with skin so light, I'm either mega-dosing on sunscreen or darting between shadows.)

The temperature is just finally beginning to break. We now have the occasional morning that starts with fog (I loovvvvveee fog). And at nighttime I now throw open the windows and pull cool night air into the apartment with a box fan.

It's morning now, and the view out my livingroom window is really pretty. For the next 8 months I'm really going enjoy living in Los Angeles.
While I'm at it, I've also got a really pretty picture of a Bird of Paradise that I took in a nearby park a few weeks ago. (I was trying to get some sunlight to even out the horrible farmer's tan of mine.) Amarie made a cool comment about the picture: she said she loves it especially because "the bird's in a cage".
