So damn hot, had to pour cold waer in a bucket and put my feet in.
Amazingly old method and still best solution :)

Feels pretty gewd :)

I'm quite lucky, its really hot outside but my house stays fairly cool so once I'm home its fine

I love people that are so stupid they think exploring space is worthless because I get to throw it in their face that the minerals in the asteroid belt alone would be worth $700 quintillion, not to mention all the crap about overpopulation...

Woot, hurray for busy fast food places.
Got my meal, and change. I was supposed to get $5.65 change from $20. Instead I got $14.35 lol.

Hey, by law, once I leave the shop, they can't legally claim it back.
I tend to tell them that they made a mistake when I notice, even if I have to come all the way back to the shop, since the money which gets 'lost' is then often divided between the staff and they have to pay it. So taking the money results in them paying for it.
Generally, I would normally give it back. But this place occasionally rips me off, so I didn't feel bad keeping quiet this time.

Payback is a bitch I guess :)
It's not a bad end if it's not School Days style : )

Long John Silvers gave my dad a $100 bill instead of a $10 bill once. He didn't give it back. Actually, his reaction was kinda like winning the lotto.

Ah, I miss British weather. Believe me, I'd trade you for your hot summer's day in a heartbeat. Yesterday in Cardiff, the temperature apparently peaked at around 23C at the hottest point of the day. Here, the temperature at the coldest point of the night was 25C, and it's forecast to peak at around 34C today. Japanese weather forecast doesn't report the humidity, so I can't say how humid it is... but I think the reason they don't bother reporting it is because it's always so ridiculously high, there's no point even mentioning it :(

It's still not even as hot as it's apparently going to get later in August! I seriously think I'm going to just melt into a little puddle of sweat before I return to the UK :'(

On the plus side, we have had some pretty astounding thunderstorms. They roll in really quickly, and only last for about half an hour before they pass, but in that half an hour, we get nearly a week's worth of Cardiff rain, and the loudest, brightest, most terrifyingly powerful lightning I have ever seen. I got caught outside in one once, and even in the middle of the city surrounded by tall buildings, walking along with my umbrella was seriously bloody terrifying :|

Nah, the rainy season's pretty much finished now, I think. I get the impression these thunderstorms are just a normal part of summer here (plus the occasional typhoon). It was raining a lot more a few weeks ago. I miss that rain, it lasted a lot longer, so it really helped cool things down a bit :(

Holy shit I love my new internet speed.
Don't like the cap, but its better than my last cap :P

I downloaded an update for some games before my data expires tomorrow, and the patch was 1.2GB
I thought, This'll take an hour or so, so I went and had some breakfast. Came back 20 minutes later, expecting it to be barely updated, to find it finished...

Awesomeness!

Tatsu fix the quality of your sig. I already posted a non-pixelated-to-fuck version within BBT size limits.

Nah, I'm quite happy with my summer. But if we traded you'd have to take the boyfriend who moans about any weather :b

Just realized that I have been overpaying one of my credit card companies and they're about to issue me a check if I don't use the credit on the card.

I should check my statements sometimes instead of paying without looking.

I'm not sure that's even possible with my card. But then I do keep a close eye on the cost each month for it.

yeah I overpaid the shit out of it. I called and they told me I can just leave it or I can have them issue me a check ...

on another note, PhotoShop CC (version 15) has been out for over a month. Some nice improvements, especially the masking!
