got my sunshine i'll get by

vi (<--kunglig pluralis) testar på engelska en gång.
we (<--majestic plural) will try english this time.

lund has been ridiculously hot this summer. it's been one hot day after another hot day, and then 15 straight hot days after that. then repeat the above scenario. now, i generally don't have a problem with hot days, when i was in japan i biked 25 minutes to school in 35-40 degrees every day and when i go to australia this fall, i expect X-TREME heat&sunshine. but, they're not supposed to be this hot and this plentiful in this part of the world. it makes me worry about, for example, the people in southern europe. if we have 35 degrees here, how hot must it not be for them! sunstroke's gotta be all over the place. next heat issue, when i complain about the heat and wish for rain at work, it's apparently an extremely provocative statement. the people at work are constantly talking about the weather and how it's going to get worse by the weekend and how that makes the weekend totally worthless and i just can't comprehend it. how can weather be so important to people? "oh no, the sun was all over the place when i was working but when i had two weeks of holiday it was mostly behind those clouds and so everything totally sucked." and people keep complaining that there's nothing to do if there's no sun. i wonder what they do the other nine months of the year when the season is non-summer. i mean seriously, if you're that dependent for sunshine to be happy with your life, maybe you should consider getting a hobby that can be done indoors. initial suggestions: reading, playing table hockey (which is good because it can be done both in- and outdoors! the ultimate sport! surely no other sport can do this!), ordering cookbooks over the internet. fun for the whole family!

i concede that sunshine makes you happier and more likely to do things and i do like sunshine when i'm biking home from work, because then it feels like there's still a lot of day left to do things with, but i really miss the rain from vancouver. rain 170 days a year, it's like heaven for me. and i can't believe so few other people like it. rain gets so much undeserved bashing. give me rain day in and day out, any day.

over and out. or not yet. i have to recap the funniest moment of the week, which was from a futurama episode, "spanish fry". in it, a scene from the robot soap opera "all my circuits" with the main protagonist, calculon, is shown. it is him screaming "nooooooooo!" in a garden, and next to him is a pirate grilling some hamburgers on a barbecue. the pirate does not say anything or interact with calculon in any way. that, my friends, is humor at the highest level.
