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 
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  

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
