Look who finally decided to show up

In classic California form, the crunchy-autumn-leaves type fall I waxed on (and ON) about the other day has come to an abrupt halt. After a foggy season that left summer wardrobes hanging in the closet, the thermometer hovered at 106 degrees yesterday in Santa Barbara (113 degrees in Los Angeles)—a slight inconvenience when you sleep in a loft and that pesky heat continues to rise. See, when you live in Santa Barbara and you like to call yourself an artist (I know, I deserve a pinch under the arm for that), more than one room in a home is a luxury, dammit.

A loft is a nice compromise between eating ramin noodles in a spacious one-bedroom abode, or imbibing in vino and feasting on organic eats in a cramped studio. I'm not complaining—sasbeau and I share a lovely little lofted space with ocean views and salty breezes. Last night was not so breezy. No, I'd say it was more on the stiflingly-hot-sweaty-legs side of things. No matter how steamy it may be, for some reason I can't bring myself to sleep without a blanket. This quirk must have to do with my irrational fear of aliens (they won't bother you if you're under the covers. True story), but that's another post entirely. What I'm trying to say is OHMYGOD it's hot. And I know I really have no grounds to say anything of the sort, what, with 70-degree weather gracing our shores day after day. After day. 

To beat the heat, I suppose I'd be surfing if I looked like this:

But since I am more like this:

I'll be doing something along the lines of this:

And this:

What do you do to beat the just-kidding-it's-not-fall-it's-summer heat?

... Hey, Saskatch.

I just thought I should let you know that we share the same nickname. All my friends call me Saskatch, and I'm a pretty outdoorsy person, which is where the name comes from. Lol

Weirdddd.

Andrew Cuomo brought his campaign to Western New York and dodged questions about a scandal involving government bids for a casino. He had no direct answer despite the fact that he is the state's Atasfdtorney General. Instead he went on to label his opponent as an extremist for being pro-life.
