Oops.

While the rock kept me from making something of a mess of the whole entry-a-day thing, I've had a slight stumble toward the edge of the fictionwagon. I think it needs some kind of safety rail. This stumble, of course, means that I haven't posted the next piece of writing.

Um... oops.

princesslaurene, I do have a plan-ish outliney-thingy for your request, and it'll be done and posted tonight. It might involve a Sayre.

(And, while we're at it, the whole thing still needs a name.)

And, in other news...

Dear weather,

today, it is rainy. And it is 17°. And it is summer. Let me recap for you: Rainy. 17°. Summer.

I'll explain why this is a problem - after all, rainy and summer is perfectly acceptable. Rainy and 17° is entirely sensible, and not something I'm terribly likely to be upset by.

17° in SUMMER in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY is just Not Right™. In fact, it's very wrong, since you decided all by yourself that the mean daily maximum for temperature here in January should be 27.7°.

I'll do the maths for you, weather.

17 < 27.7
17 - 27.7 = -10.7
∴ weather = 10.7 × lazy
∴ weather can do much better
∴ active_apathy </3 weather

It was well over 40 a few weeks ago. Remember that? You got all overexcited about summer, then went and wasted all the warm on two days. In future, please remember to pace yourself with the warm. The not-warm is meant for winter, and I'll happily accept single-digit temperatures - with or without a minus - for all of it.

For great justice
With great disappointment,
active_apathy
