No AC 100% humidity randomocity

You'd think that, since it's not even sixty degrees outside, I'd be pretty comfy.

You'd be wrong. My air conditioner is not working and my apartment is almost always about twenty degrees warmer than the outside. Which makes it around eighty inside.

I don't really know why this happens. I wish I did. I'm sure I could probably make some serious money with something that generates twenty degrees of heat but apparently does not require any power.

It's probably my downstairs neighbors--I suspect they have their heat on when temps drop below seventy. But without the AC it gets like a damned rain forest in here.

Anyways, I'm still plugging away on The Harvester of Faces. Still got a long way to go on it, as you might imagine. I really don't know how I feel about it so far--I think it's a good idea but so far there are some things that just haven't come together on it. I probably need to plot it out in a bit more detail--I don't normally work that way but in this case I think I might need to.

It's chilly outside, as I've mentioned, and rainy, and it'll probably be storming in a little while. I'm watching the AFC championship game, not particularly caring who wins--I dig the Ravens but I don't have any special hatred of the Patriots, unlike a lot of people I know. As for the NFC, I won't be able to see it, as it's on Fox, and I still haven't been able to persuade Comcast to fix my issues with the Fox feed. So, I'll watch the highlights I reckon on ESPN or something.

Speaking of the AFC championship--Steven Tyler sings the national anthem? If ever there was every a good example in support of my argument--that we should just dispense with The Star Spangled Banner before sporting events--that was it. It was awful. Even worse than the hip hop singers who "oversoul" it or the country music singers who nasal it to death.

Joe Paterno died. I really can't find it in my heart to feel sad about it. I've never been a big Paterno fan--I've always felt that he was one of those who didn't think rules applied to him and his people--but recent events have completely destroyed what respect I've had for him. To be honest, I went from a mild dislike to a deep loathing of him over the past few months.

Oh, well. That's all the news that isn't, on this front.
