This is War.
Dane and I are waging an epic battle the likes of which the internet has never seen and soon, soon my friends, the victor will emerge - bloody and triumphant - and the thermostat in this apartment will either go very, very up or very, very down.
And the loser will be super uncomfortable.
What the hell is it with dudes and their internal combustion system being so effing effed up? I am cold all the time and THAT IS WHY GOD MADE HEAT.
Anyway, right now it is about 85 degrees outside and so I have the balcony door open but in about 2 hours I’ll need to shut it so I can cool the place to negative 900 for when Dane gets home. And he will still complain about how hot it is in here.
And right now, I guarantee you he is sitting at his desk at Nemo, sweating and cursing my name while he reads this because I have the a/c turned off even though he expressly forbid that and I am flipping him off (lovingly) and dancing around the apartment because for the first time in a thousandy months I am not wearing a sweater and slipper socks.
But, because I love you Dane, here is my favorite Ben Kweller song which (and you’ll all please take note of how I manage to stick to the karaoke theme here) is the only other song I wish to GOD they would put in the books. Then I could rule like Dane.
Also, I think it’s adorable that these girls put this video together. What are they, like 9 years old?
Ben Kweller: Ruling. Like Dane. Pretty much.
Happy Karaoke Week Everyone.

That was great! Charlotte actually stood still to watch it.
And I loved the song.
Where is my CD?
Please?
I’m batting my eyelashes really, really hard.
Dane, you’re welcome at Casa de Stanley. We just had a new furnace w/ A/C installed on Tuesday and it’s always set to a nice, nipply temp.
Of course, you’d have to brave Vancouver and make your way past the homeless tweakers in the hood, but there’s cool air and cooler beer inside.
Can you yoink people over the internet?
Cause if you can, I’m totally going to yoink Justin and take him as my new BFF. That comment was beautiful.
Back on topic, it needs to be cool in the house come sleepy-time… nobody, not even ladies, likes trying to fall asleep in a hot room.
If you want to run free “not wearing a sweater and slipper socks” I’d suggest heading outside. Man invented wi-fi for a reason.
Yes, tons of heat is good. Make your own tropical paradise. Dane can make himself an igloo on the North Pole.
Heat is the AIDS of temperatures.
We’re still on the AIDS jokes right? Im not too late am I?
Um how come i wasnt that cool when i was their age?
hell, im not that cool now.
Kristen- That was my plan,. To get her to stop moving. I’m sorry! I am doing your cd as we speak!
Justin S- Good. You two can be frigid together.
Nels- I am fine with cool at sleepytime, just not all day freezing my ass off time.
Isabelle- THANK YOU! SOMEBODY’S got my back. Jesus.
Justin- Fine. You can all go live together in the Arctic. Also, you are never too late for AIDS. It will always wait for you. Is that comforting?
KellyT- Yes you were and are.
Kiala -
OH! WE WILL! We will live in our arctic wonderland. And you know what!? It will be wonderful. Our arctic wonderland is a fort made out of cardboard boxes and pillows. And its filled with pizza and BBQ potato chips. And its always 60 degrees. And also there are Runts. And peanut butter M&Ms.
my apartment = hard nipple zone.
Let me say one thing: the last two men I’ve had relationships with both did the same thing — when it was cold the would roll DOWN the windows in the car and NOT turn on the heat. When it was hot, they would roll UP the windows and NOT turn on the a/c. Explain that.
Liam has been amazingly patient with my turning up the heat in the winter to 75 and also wearing what amounts to a ski outfit to bed. Coversley, I think maybe he also has a more positive association to hot weather now because warmth turns me on.
men are always hot because we are always busy Doing Things and Getting Stuff Done.
I’m with the boys. It’s f-ing hot. Yesterday and today were hell and I will never be cool again.
I’m moving in with Justin and Dane. I don’t know what’s wrong with all you broads and your icicle bodies and your multiple sweaters and blankets and such, with the freakin’ heat turned up to 73 in August, but I’m fairly certain that you’re all big sissies. My roommate in Ashland was like that. All the windows closed, 74 degrees in the house all night long, and she’s got two sweaters on and a blanket. The only way my share of the heat that went into keeping her boney ass warm could have been higher would have been to light hundred dollar bills on fire.
Heat rules. Cold sucks. Here’s why:
When you are too hot, you just sweat a lot and feel a little lethargic.
When you are too cold, you get frostbite and hypothermia, and you die.
i disagree, paulie: i think it’s the other way around.
when it’s cold, you put on more clothes. you can ALWAYS put on more clothes.
when it’s hot, you strip down. what happens once you get totally naked and you’re STILL HOT???
i just run a few degrees warmer than kristen. we’ve both come to terms with that. as to why, i think chris has got it right.
Ken - I thought it was because we’re fat and hairy?
Enjoy being chilly ladies because one of these days you will hit that misery better known as MENOPAUSE complete with hot flashes the like of which you have ever know before. Then the idea of cold weather/apartments will be a dream come true. Of course these NEVER ever happen when you need them, only when you are already sweating like a pig. Makes one wish they could strip down and run naked thru the streets laughing and chuckling. Of course then they lock you up for awhile, oh well.
