also, rain would be lovely

Oh my god, you guys, I am so sick of summer.

I keep having these surreal moments where I hallucinate cool autumn winds, and then realize it was just the air conditioning and feel like I'm losing my mind. And whenever I read a story or watch a movie set in winter, with snuggly scarves and coats with the collars turned up against the cold, I have this horribly visceral sense of pining. It's really quite awful, and kind of sickening.

I JUST WANT A COOL BREEZE, OKAY. IS THAT REALLY SO MUCH TO ASK.

that is all

My dad does this thing where he still buys groceries and cooks as if he's feeding three growing teenage girls who do soccer three or four times a week, plus himself, plus my mom back when she was in her forties and also doing soccer three or four times a week (my mom's awesome, what can I say), no matter how often we remind him that this is not the case. It's terribly annoying.

Anyway, the point of this post really isn't to bitch about my dad, who is a lovely man despite his grocery shopping habits. But he does buy just massive amounts of white grapes, for example. Luckily, that of all fruits is probably best; once they start going squishy, you can just throw them in the freezer, and they make a really awesome snack for when it's 112 degrees outside and you're also running a slight fever.

Mmm, frozen grapes.
