I Feel Summer Creeping In....

Holy hell, it's hot.

Which means, inevitably, I'm not feeling well at all. My body doesn't react well to heat, and it tends to leave me nauseas and dizzy. And for some reason, the AC is doing nothing to cool down any of my rooms but my workroom. I finally had to suck it up and clean the bathroom, and did so in a tank top and boxers, with many short breaks to sit down and have water.

In fact, I am only using this icon because just looking at it makes me feel vaguely cooler.

But I did get the bathroom clean, and I did get a fic written. I...don't know what I'm going to do about pants. I'm running out of fabric. If I can find a solid, non-patterned pair of old PJ pants, I can dye those. Everything else for the whole costume has come out great, it's just the damn pants I can't manage.

My nightstick is nearly done, too. One more coat of paint to smooth some things down and even the tones out and that will be that. Managed to get some RP replies in, too! Now the smell of grilling burgers is making me both hungry and ill. I will be dining on something cold and light tonight, because I can't handle anything else.

It was supposed to break today, too. Now they're saying tomorrow, probably, but definitely by Wednesday. That doesn't please me.

And the rainy season is coming. I do not fear it, though, for when it comes I shall be able to dance with Maryjane again and not be rendered an invalid for the month due to the pain. And there are good things coming soon! Such very good things.

It doesn't help that I am seized with the desire to make manjuu. Filled with jam rather than anko, because I have yet to find anywhere around here to buy red bean paste. I am also craving steamed buns, as I so often tend to do. And I discovered a recipe for sweet, chocolate filled naan.

That's it, I'm foraging for some food.

ETA: SILENT HILL KINK MEME! ALL MY SILENT HILL FRIENDS, GO! I WILL TOTALLY BE WRITING SOME REQUESTS!

If only my net at home were up. (I imagine I'm going to write anyway, I'm just saying...)

Of course if I request what I really want to everyone will know who it is, but hey, that's all right! XD

I'm really sorry to hear the heat is getting to you so badly. I don't enjoy heat but I survive it OK. I really hope you feel better soon.

Ack! That's right, you're still using cafe net, aren't you?

That's okay! I'm pretty sure anything I write in response will easily be recognizable as being written by me. Happens with every kink meme I participate in. :D

It's finally started to cool down a little in here, thankfully. I'm going to fix a light dinner and then just relax for a bit, I think.

I just have to say this:

Mmmmmmm Naan......

We have this awesome Indian place not too far from where I live (well it's a few miles, but anyway), and they make some of the best curry and naan I have ever had.


Now you make me want to get some *runs away*

Oh man... I haven't had good Indian food in years. :/ We're sadly lacking in any Indian restaraunts around here. Naan and plain curry I can make, but that's about it.

I am like...dying for some lamb tikka masala, and a lhassi.

Actually you can get golden curry from most Wal-mart's, and that makes a tasty curry. But yeah, it doesn't do the same as a nice Indian made meal (You are making me want to go tomorrow and get curry takeout)
