I took this from my sister's site:

1. What's the high temperature today where you are?

It's only 10:18, and it is already 89 degrees out. It's supposed to top out at about 99 degrees, with 69% humidity. Yep, Summertime in Austin.

2. Favorite way(s) to beat the heat.

-Barton Springs. The Spring fed, 68 degree pool makes any day, even a 100+ degree day, feel like a 75 degree day. Well, it feels like a 75 degree day for about an hour after you get out of the water. That may not sound like much, but I'll take what I can get.
-A nice, cool movie theatre.
-Snowcones.

3. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Evaluate this statement.

I've lived in both dry and humid places. I lived in the Mojave desert for a year or so, so I definitely know that a dry heat is where it's at. Yet, for some stupid reason, I really like the weather in both Houston and Austin. Despite being humid to the point where the air sits on you like Jabba the Hutt, I kind of like what it feels like. I especially love it when you get that occasional cool breeze. It also feels great at night, when the temperature is at about 75 degrees and you get a nice breeze, either off the Gulf in Houston, or off Town Lake in Austin.

4. Discuss one or more of the following: sauna, hot tub, sweat lodge, warm-stone massage.

-I like saunas, yet I can't be in them for very long. If I wanted to sweat my balls off, I'd go for a walk outside.
-I'm not a huge fan of hot tubs, either. It's usually so hot outside, that a hot tub is a bit redundant. Yet, a hot tub when the temperature is 80 or below is where it's at.

5. Hottest you've ever been in your life.

Well, I used to live in 29 Palms, California, where the temperature averaged about 110 everday for months on end. That really wasn't so bad, believe it or not. What made it shitty, is that the base water treatment plant was literally about 20 meters from the band hall. So not only was it hot enough to fry an egg on the hood of a car, we had to deal with the smell of a festering pool of shit and human waste. It made the heat that much worse.

Non-temperature related bonus: In your opinion... who's hot?

Anya may kill me for this, though I know she has her own list like this.
-Natalie Portman. Jeez. Where to begin...
-Jennifer Morrison. If you don't know who this is, watch "House M.D."
-Evangeline Lilly. There are worse people to be stuck on a deserted island with.
-Kate Hudson. It's that smile...
and some guys
-Matthew Fox. Television star with movie star looks.
-Johnny Depp. That much talent is sexy.
-Hugh Jackman. He's hot, what can I say?

peace and love
