Brrr, It's gotten cold around here!

New definition of cold for me: below 85 degrees.

It has been a pretty damn hot summer here in the east coast. Actually, the entire country has been really hot this summer. I know here, in the mid-Atlantic between Philly and NY we had the hottest July on record. The average temperature of the month (averaged between daytime highs and nighttime lows) was 91 degrees F.

This has me a little nervous about Hawaii next week. There temperatures are an eternal 80-85. I'm nervous that I'm going to be cold. Yes I know I sound like an absolute psychopath, but I'm dead serious.

The past few days have been warmer than the average for this time of the year, but honestly 85 never felt so cold. And 75 percent humidity just about makes my skin crack and lips/mucosa membrane bleed.

And Brasil, pfff, that's going to seem like a frozen hell when I arrive in Sao Paulo in Brazilian winter in two years.

My plea: Help me thicken my blood, it's thinner than anything at this point.

PS: Sorry for not posting in a while!

My Stupid Little Mission

My stupid little mission is: To hit 2,000 page views before I leave for Hawaii! Hopefully my readers pull this off because it would be kinda cool.

Keep Reading! I know I've been a bad blogger lately, but I swear I will have more to post em breve!

How come I blog only when I'm at work?

It's a vicious cycle. I get to work @9am, sit down (which hurts because my sister kicked my tailbone really hard the other day, so its black and blue..jerk) and start blogging. After that, I surf O Globo, Globo, Estadao, and all the others until lunchtime. And then I blog some more. Then I go home and listen to Nara Leao and Adrianna Calcanhotto under the super hardy palm tree in my back yard.. There's no hope for me.

Its not because I don't want to work or anything, it's because nobody gives me any work! The only work I have to do is translate documents from Portuguese to English which is not really work for me. And I also have to plan a trip to Brasil for the company, but that is hardly considered work in my book. It's a crazy coincidence that the company I'm working for has interest in Brasil!

I wish I were more productive....boohoo.
