we're having a heat wave

Did you ever watch episodes of The Twilight Zone when you were younger? As a kid, I always thought the show was a little strange, but it always aired before or after Little House on the Prairie, so I ended up watching snippets of episodes.

I keep thinking of The Twilight Zone episode "The Midnight Sun" today, especially the scene where paint is melting off of their canvases because it is SO HOT. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened here today. It is so hot, I can barely do anything besides stare at the wall. You can get the gist of what happens in the episode by watching this clip (it is a combination of several scenes):



The actual episode is infinitely more melodramatic and awesome. You can watch the whole thing in three segments on YouTube (click on the links for segments one, two, and three). The scene on clip three is my favorite.

Back when I had cable (wait, what's cable? It's been SO long), I used to watch the Twilight Show nearly everyday. It IS weird but so fantastic. They just don't make TV like that anymore.

I'm sorry you guys are having a heat wave WITH humidity ... gah! Seriously, I feel your pain ... LITERALLY.

I feel totally justified in complaining about the heat. The day I wrote this post ended up being the hottest day ever recorded in Seattle history! Blech. You can read a news report here.
