The shirts seem to think so…

I hate hot weather, and southern California seems to have forgotten that it's winter. Fuck this.

^ I will see your complaint about unseasonably warm weather and raise you an unprecedented heatwave:

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/heatwave-chaos-more-of-the-same-as-trains-trams-go-into-meltdown-20140116-30xt7.html

Temperatures for Melbourne over the past few days (Note, this is in celsius, not farenheit):

Tuesday: 42.8
Wednesday: 41.7
Thursday: 43
Friday (forecast): 44

What has added to the difficulty of the heat has been nighttime temperatures which have stayed around 30 or so.  Your body just doesn't have a chance to recuperate and you wake up feeling exhausted.  In the city the heat is killing people (literally): http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/melbourne-city-centre-a-death-trap-as-heatisland-effect-takes-its-toll-20140116-30xt8.html

[Finn666]

Guests invited for 5.30. It is now 5.30. Just got a message from one couple… "Yeah suz we're gonna be a bit late we have to feed the kids first"...

Rude... 

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, it's shit having adults as friends eh 

[Seul]

I hate kids… 

[Megatron1505]

I can see why….they don't drink 

[Seul]

They're loud, drop food, spill drinks (only water fortunately),…

If it weren't for the fact that I still like my ex, I'd 've exit'ed 'm all via the balcony...

Move.

[grandmasterben]

Not sure if that'd be the best idea considering I attend ucla

[mclaincausey]

How's that going? Didn't you start recently?

[seanocono]

My point is that you have the power to do something about it. You're clearly a bright guy. You could transfer to Berkeley if you hate hot weather.

I hate rain, which is why I no longer live in Seattle.

[grandmasterben]

It's going great! Yep, started just this year. And I don't hate hot weather enough to transfer, it's more that I look forward to colder weather and it seems strange that we haven't really had any. I do know I live in California, but come on… Gimme something

[mclaincausey]

I reserve and abuse the right to complain about the weather. I love in Minnesota.

[seanocono]

Haha. Fair enough. Congrats on the great first year.

Filson is having a great sale on some jackets….but I still can't justify buying one right now. Dammit.

[Megatron1505]

The clever repair I did on Tommys macbook isn't so clever after all. Apparently the logic board is dead and Apple are quoting me £500 to repair.

Stay tuned for a fire sale of the remainder of my diminishing wardrobe, looks like I'm out of the denim game for a while but I can't leave the wee man without a Christmas present. My own fault for thinking a second hand MBP would be better than a brand new normal PC.

After the roof, new suspension on the car and having been hammered by Christmas it looks like the Trons will be stuck in the UK for holidays this year (first world problem).

[seawolf]

That's a big pill to swallow. I think 2013 can go feck itself. It was an expensive year for the the Seawolfs (Is it Seawolves?) too. Can you buy a new logic board and do it yourself?
