monday monologue - heat wave

Has it cooled off where you are?  

Here 

in the 

Baked Apple 

we're in for a few days 

of 

less steamy temps 

followed by another wave of heat

Did you know 

in order to be considered 

an actual 

heat wave 

temps must be over 

(mumbles to disguise forgetting a relevant piece of info) 

for 3 consecutive days 

(remembered that tho) 

We did not go out for a walk 

I went out once a day 

for as brief a time as I could 

ToonMan 

ventured out once to go 

 I forget where  

but 

I do recall 

he brought back ice cream   

I did my beautifying™ 

I did some errands

I saw the chiropractor 

for the spasm in my back 

that began on Tuesday 

and
 by Saturday seemed okay 

until I woke 

Sunday 

with it feeling like it was starting all over again

 GAH

I wonder 

if the stress 

of downloading 

installing 

and 

being flummoxed 

by Apple's Lion OS 

could have done it?  

I spoke to 

4 Apple reps 

about 

4 different 

WTF issues 

which were fairly easy to resolve  

ToonMan 

not so much  

I insisted 

he upgrade 

NOW 

he was in the midst of editing a client reel 

but he said okay 

Lion 

however 

we discovered 

no longer supports

 3 major software programs 

he uses to do his job  

He also never backs up his hard drive 

so his fix
an 

uninstall 

of
Lion 

wont happen til today 

first
he had to back up the entire HD 

then
he was to be talked through the process

 not by an Apple rep 

but an 

engineer

Apple doesnt want any casualties.

So aside from stressing over OS installs uninstalls what did we do?  

We freaked on Friday midmorning when the AC and half the apartment lost power 

turned out to be a dead surge protector 

easily fixed  

We also watched two NetFlix movies 

one on DVD 

The Adjustment Bureau 

which I loved 

really I loved it 

Matt Damon 

John Slattery 

(of Mad Men)

Emily Blunt 

its a fantasy/sci fi/romance

lots of cool special effects  

The Joneses 

was the other film 

we streamed from NetFlix 

off the new AppleTV 

it was fun

with

Demi Moore 

David Duchovny

and 

a cast of recognizable TV actors

Even tho we didnt go walking

here are two photos

from last weekend's waterfall walk

this stream

leads to this small water fall
