My transition into full blown adulthood is complete
It sort of goes without saying that I can now 1) Enlist in the armed forces, 2) Purchase cigarettes and porn, 3) Buy alchohol from any merchant selling it, and 4) Rent a car ... But I have titled this post as I have for a completely different reason.

I felt as if I had crossed the threshold into full-fledged adulthood when I moved into my new apartment and was forced to purchase a washer and dryer ... Today I know I have crosed into the area of no turning back because I have now also been forced to purchase an air conditioner. (Actually, Kc bought it, but still ...)

That's right. My apartment is now air conditioned. This is no laughing matter. No one told me New York feels like Africa as soon as June starts. And there's no way in hell I want to find out what August feels like without the sweet cooling sensation of that weird box that's now sitting in my windowsill. Perhaps now I can stop complaining about this unbearable heat. But probably not.

I can't wait to hear what my dad has to say about this weather when he gets here from Hawaii in 2 weeks. The weather over the last week has basically been the same here as it's been there. Humidity and everything. Only instead of beautiful beaches we have piles of garbage.
