Summer Time Is Here

Gashi soshite aisatsu, everyone, and welcome to Sasori's Rock. I hope nobody out there is dying from this heat. Whew! It's gotta be at least 90 here. (What about people in Alaska?) Huh? (It's probably cold in Alaska. I wouldn't really know, but from what I understand, it's like that most of the year.) Oh. Well, I hope nobody except for the people in Alaska is dying from the heat. (What about northern Canada?) I think they've got the point, Takusan. (Or southern Mexico? It's probably about 110 down there, and that's waaay hotter than it is here.) *Sigh* Takusan? (Hai?) Shut up, this is my blog. (I guess I had that one coming...) Anyway, sumimasen once again for not updating yesterday. I can't make any kind of decent excuse this time: I was at the beach. (That's a decent excuse to me, considering the weather.) Thank you for your support, but I'm still not letting you out of the parentheses. (Dang. Well, it was worth a shot.) I got a new bathing suit, so I just had to try it out! I don't know if it could really be classified as a bikini, but it is a two-piece. The top ties up in the back and the bottom has this little bow thingy on it. (Doesn't that make it hard to swim?) It's a really small bow. The bathing suit has kind of a flowery pattern on it, and it's green and brown and blue. Very cool. I also got a pair of shorts and some summery shirts for my trip. I don't usually wear shorts, so it's kind of a change of pace for me. (Funny, you didn't strike me as the self-conscious type.) I'm not, I just don't really like shorts. They look weird on me, and they have a tendency to ride up. (Define "weird".) *Sigh* Okay, shield your eyes. (*Puts on sunglasses* Why? AAAHHH!) That's why. (Good lord, woman! Your legs are blinding!) You're telling me. I'm pretty sure they would fluoresce under ultraviolet light. (Get a tan or something! You're so pale you could cause someone permanent eye damage!) Takusan, I'm a redhead; I don't tan, I burst into flames. The best I can do is to wear a lot of sunblock and try to sit in such a way that the sunlight doesn't reflect off of my legs and into somebody's eyes. By the way, have you spoken to Shousetsu Ongaku since she returned from Oz? (I had a chat with her, hai. She's doing well, and so is Saranie.) That's good. Did Shousetsu see Amarini Kawaii on her way back? (No, Amarini took the Wicked Witch Rail and Shousetsu took the Yellow Brick Road.) I see. Doesn't the WWR only go one way? (Hai, but Amarini's coming back via a pair of ruby slippers.) Really? You mean she's just going to click her heels and say "There's no place like home" three times? (Actually, now you have to click your heels and say "I will not sue if I end up in Morocco" three times.) Hmm. That's the modern world for you. (Times have changed.) Hai. Well, I'd better get going. (Me too, the Hobby Lobby is having a summer sale. All stamps 25% off!) Have a great beginning of the summer, and we'll see you next time at Sasori's Rock!

Aikou kara Sasori! (Where's the sunblock?)

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

-The way newscasters blame the weatherman if it's going to rain.
-People who eat a Big Mac with a large order of fries and an apple pie and wash it down with a Diet Coke. Once you make the decision to supersize your meal, ordering a diet drink is pretty much a moot point.
