jazzfishYesterday: notice the sun swinging around to the front of the apartment, fail to notice the complete lack of breeze despite open windows on two sides. Result: cranky at dinner, lethargy and loginess all evening, stare at various screens, eventually give up and try to sleep but fail until after midnight even with a fan running.
Today: notice sun, remember yesterday's lack of breeze. Close window on the sunny side of the apartment, run fan. Result: sufficient brain functionality to write this post plus not quite an hour of musicking (viola and bass), plus dinner, plus boardgames in a few minutes.
The actual heat wave was two weekends ago, when I went down to Vancouver for a week. Spending the first of several 35+ (100F+) days in the air-conditioned car worked exceedingly well, as did retrieving my air conditioner from Mya and using it in Zee's townhouse.
There was also a great deal of boardgaming, some erranding, and some socialising. Most notably I had dinner with Julianne, after which we went up to her apartment and she let me try out her amazing new VR rig. Apparently I had a huge grin on my face the entire time I was in the helmet. My previous experience with VR was Jonathan's helmet that would run Quake at 800x600, which as I recall was pretty neat but not a patch on this. It is literally like being inside a video game. I was absolutely gobsmacked. Also I have missed talking with Julianne, a lot. Gonna try a video-chat later this month, I think.
And then I came home and work felt even more pointless than usual. But I think I'm back to an even keel there, at least.
