Randomness

I missed the Arcade Fire concert this week because I was my brother's Plan B, and Plan A did not flake out. Bummer! But since he hasn't even let me borrow their new CD yet I don't know their new stuff. Shoulda opened/uploaded it before I gave it to him for Christmas.

In other news... I got routine service done on my A/C because it's That Time of Year, and I was informed I have hail damage from the storm we had here last October 5th. I should have gotten it checked out sooner, really, but I'm of the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ilk plus I'm lazy... now I'll probably get a whole new one! THAT WOULD KICK ASS. THANK YOU, STORM.

And I finally got a Sims 2 Bon Voyage that freaking works. HALLELUJAH!

I like today's thefridayfive because it doesn't require a lot of thought :D Always a good thing when one is tired/PMSy/irritable.

1. The 30th song in your playlist: "How We Operate" by Gomez, on my laptop media player that I never use. I'd refer to my iPod but it's still borked and I'm not firing up the slow-ass computer just to look in iTunes.

2. A city that starts with C in your state/province/etc: Cottonwood

3. Your boss' (or favorite teacher's) name: Mabel

4. The second book on your bookshelf: Depends on which level of which bookcase! Four levels, two don't have "booky" books though... so it's either Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince or Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.

5. Your 7th LJ friend: I'm going to assume this means alphabetically, because chronologically I have no clue beyond my first 2 LJ friends! Seventh would be ascendingflame, who doesn't seem to use LJ much anymore. I miss her updates!

Wait... you have Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales on your bookshelf? But... that's a classic! *the world implodes*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Well, if it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure I only have it because I had to read it for school back in the dark ages?

Yaaaaay finally a comment! I don't like having nekkid posts.

I match your Taylor reading icon with a Hayden reading icon.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I can understand that.

I see your Hayden reading and raise you a kiss.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Um... I don't have a Hayden kiss but... how 'bout a nipple? I don't think Taylor can match that! (well, not in an icon, anyway :D)

Uh...no. There has been no wardrobe malfunctions. I'm pretty sure everyone would know if there was a wardrobe malfunction.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ohhh that icon comes pretty close though! Good job!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I try.

You are so lucky to have A/C. But I suppose it comes as standard when you live somewhere hot.

I've got the Canterbury Tales, I bought it after watching the BBC's adapation back in..., 2003, I think. Haven't read it for ages.

Yeah, everyone has it here! Either that or a swamp cooler if they're trying to be cheap (those don't work very well in this climate). Summer's not so bad if you spend it indoors.

I'm pretty sure I haven't read the whole thing. It's on my list of "to read" stuff along with some other books I don't remember or never made it all the way through... someday!

What's a swamp cooler?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

It uses evaporating water to cool. It's supposed to be a cheaper alternative for desert climates but... if there's no water, how can it even work? I don't really get it.

The house of one of my friends who had one felt cooler than outside, but not as cool as a house with A/C. And it was more humid. Better for your skin, I suppose.
