Today's Transgender Day of Remembrance Honors the Dead
Review: Paramount Room
Ye gods, is it ever hot today. Highs will be over 90—and staying there for the next five days or so.
Typically, we get a string of steamy days like this in June, so this stretch of hot days is, according to Mr. Tom Skilling, overdue. [Tom's blog, NWS, photo by ChiDN]

"... back of my neck feeling tired and gritty!"
Forealz!
'bout melted out there on my smoke break.
Cube:
Man up. Get a slurpee, that smoke will be a cool treat.
i am wearing man shorts to work these days. i don't even care.
It's days like this when I think seriously about moving to Nova Scotia. Or Norway. Or my fridge.
I can't take this crap.
Jenny: Good tasty idea.
Matty: I'd nearly KILL to be allowed to wear shorts to work. SO lucky!
Cube:
Do you have the same handle on Gawker?
Or is it s doppleganger?
Ingrid
as a believer in
Vodo, Condomble, paganism,
catholicism, Buddhism, paganism, voodoo hodu,etc, etc, etc. I strongly believe that blessed warm weather haters and complainers like you are behind those 70 below degree windchill factor dark barren days we get cursed with! So why don't you shut yer face before I cast a spell and break all the windows in your house so YOU can really be “one with nature” and the heat. Now excuse me whilst I go outside on my porch and drink an ice cold beer! In my boxers while read in the light. See its warn and light outside at 6.04pm! Nice!
Spook,
This is not warm weather.
This weather is HOT. It is fit for neither man nor beast.
It is sweltering. Humid. Moist. Wet. You could cook a honey baked ham on your porch.
I wish I could conjure the spirit of Flannery O'Connor to give poetic justice to this southern fried oppressiveness.
Warm woolen mittens...fireplaces....hot toddies...Nice!!!!
Jennyblur:
Yep, Gawker Commenter here with same name...until Ketch swings the axe at me!!!
You?
I was a Jezebel commenter before Hortense got ahold of me. The air is angrier and thinner over there. Those are sum angry bitches.
Jenny,
Gawker is pretty fun, and full of funny/smart commenters.
I keep forgetting to check out Jezebel.
Is Hortense their version of Jack Ketch, the commenter executioner?
Cube:
I love Gawker, but because of them I am always trying to talk to my friends about Paul Janka and Julia Allison and they are just like "Huh".
Yeah, they just got Hortense at a "Comments Moderator" because there was a feeling among some of the newer commentors that they were being run out by the Old Guard. Shit got ugly.
Jenny:
eeewww you talk about Wanka Janka, icky-poo-poo. Man, that guy disgusts me like no other!
Julia, well, can't help it, I find her physically attractive, but withhold 'judgement' until I read more about what she talks about (her lifecasts are blocked here at work).
Cube:
After reading about how she started working at the Georgetown Med School library to nail a future doctor, I gained a grudging respect for her, kind of like admiring an anorexic for their willpower. I still don't like the product.
I feel like I would be the girl who would go to Janka's apartment "just to see what it is like" and then through some combination of Stockholm Syndrome and low self esteem I would end up blowing him. Whoops.
Do you ever feel like an outsider on Gawker because you live in Chicago? I feel there is a strong Chicago community there, but I still wish that I could comment on more "New Yorky" things.
Jenny,
My only advice: STAY OUT OF JANKA'S APARTMENT (come to mine instead...j/k) :-)
Outsider on Gawker? Yes, as far as I can remember, only Indianslipper is from Chicago..and now you...what is your name there?
Cube:
Haha, I don't have fantasies about dudes from blogs unless I know FOR A FACT that they rub their own semen in their hair, ala my internet boyfriend Janka.
I don't have a handle on Gawker since I was banned from Jezebel and they are under the same umbrella.
"...that they rub their own semen in their hair..."
Well there goes my late lunch, no need for food now that it won't stay down...Blech, you disgusting, potty-mouth woman! (love yoooou!)
What was it? You could probably get resurrected by re-auditioning/commenting on Gawker more.
I just creeped out by emailing you at the address from your blog.
So, yeah. It's kind of a long story. If the earthlink addy isn't correct, um, give me the new one.
I AM TAKING THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
Haha.
Uh-oh!
I'll check after work (blocked here).
