So I just took two of those plastic 2 liter pop bottles and cut off the tops and filled them with water and froze them. Then I put them in front of my fan and called it a hobo's air conditioner. When it gets this hot I start saying stupid things like that to myself. Anyhow, it did not work. So then I put the fan pointing outwards, and I felt cooler, but probably just cause I had just stood in a bathtub full of cold water for a minute.
So anyway, I have thought a few things since doing all this:
- Hobos don't have fans! And if they did, they'd for sure know less stupid ways to cool off with it.
- I really have to stop basing my actions around jokes made by Q107.
You see, earlier this summer I had the idea that sticking ice in front of a fan would make me cool, but I gave up on it because noone I asked thought it would work, and I guess I'm lazy. A week ago though I heard some deejay guy on the local Q107 station made some comment about how before air conditioners, people put blocks of ice in front of fans, so I tried it. This was stupid because there is no dumber radio station than that station. Even if you haven't heard it, you've probably heard it, since every city has it's own Q-something station, and they are all the exact same: they all have a morning show called "The Q morning zoo" and they all play Led Zeppelin about 5 times an hour. The one here also might as well be the trivia station too, cause everytime I listen to it, I swear it's all trivia. Do you know 3 different facts about Traffic, and 2 about Blind Faith? I do, and I sure as hell did not learn them on purpose. No sir, they are the direct result of listening to the "Edge" station here (which you also should understand since every city also has one of those now) and going "frig, Moby again?" and then changing over to the Q one hoping to hear some Thin Lizzy. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Moby, but if have a choice between listening to a Moby song and a song by a group that doesn't include Moby, I'll usually pick the latter. Since this is the internet, I have to add the standard internet disclaimer for when I mention Moby (or Radiohead or whatever other bands are popular among the young and pale): If you like Moby, that's cool, I'm not saying that you suck or anything. I'm just saying that your taste in music sucks. JUST JOKING :D LETZ BE PALZ.
Okay that is all I remember that I had to say, except I know I had more. I just realized it's like 8:16 and for some reason that makes me totally depressed, cause I should be doing something better than sitting here staring at a server monitor and adding a diary entry and thinking it's 4pm
