Heat Wave
(Coldplay – Talk)
The weather in Toronto the past week has been disgustingly hot. We’re getting 40 C weather in early June. That’s unheard of. I’m expecting the crazy lady in my office to scream out “I’m melting, I’m melting!” any day now.
I went fishing on the weekend and for the first time for as long as I’ve known, I got a sun burn. Normally, I could stay in the sun all-day long and the only effect it would have on me is that I would get dark and people would accuse me of being Cambodian.
My parents have even turned on the A/C at home. They NEVER do that. It could be warm enough to slowly roast a prime rib and they would merely open up a few windows and pretend a cool breeze was passing through. Not this week, we have the A/C turned up to the max.
I feel a bit sorry for my dog Muffin. Imagine wearing a fur coat in the dessert. That can’t be comfortable. He’s cute when he pants though.
This weather sort of reminds me of mid-summer Houston, TX. The few times that I’ve been there, during the day, the city would be a ghost town because no one would dare leave their house. It’s the type of weather that if you were driving on the hwy, the road ahead of you would look distorted because of the heat radiating off of the asphalt.
What exactly can you do in 40 C weather besides sitting inside and sipping on a cool drink? Now if you were on a tropical island, I suppose the heat would be a little more bearable with bikini clad women walking on the beach. Then again, the thought of the crazy lady in my office wearing a bikini is enough to make my balls shrivel and wave a white flag.
God, someone please make the heat go away!

although i had to use my "celsius to fahrenheit converter" to know what the heck you were talking about, i must agree with you that that IS hot. according to weather.com, houston isn't even that hot today!
"i turn sideways to the sun, and in a moment i am gone..." -new order, "world"
if he was in toronto, i guess there's a good possibility he just evaporated, eh?
Yes there's a good chance that he would...and we wouldn't want that...I'm still waiting for their follow-up album to Get Ready!
It wasn't really 40 C here...it was more like 30 C but with the humidity factored in, it was almost 40 C on the weekend. I believe the conversion is (C*1.8)+32 = F. It isn't as hot here today as it is in Houston but it's still unbearable.
oh man I'm headed to TO the 23rd for a wedding, I hope it cools down by then. And I've been to Houston in the summer (not by choice) and it was hotter than I'd ever experienced anywhere.
