Meltdown

This is hands down the hottest summer in Illinois in quite some time. I've been living in my house for three years now (egads! Three years already...), without air conditioning, and it was tolerable up until now. This year on the other hand, every time I get home after work, it's like stepping into a sauna. The situation escalates whenever I try to work in my studio, because that room doesn't have a ceiling fan, and I'm working right beside a surprisingly warm reading light.

Now, I know what you're saying, why don't you just buy an air conditioner Mr. Crazy Comic Person? I might before the summer's over, but for now it's a luxury I can't afford (especially with Real Estate Taxes due soon and Chicago right around the corner). So, without further ado, here's my semi-heat stroke induced plan to work on the remainder of my promo materials for Chicago without dieing of heat stroke:

1) Less is more. As in clothes. I'm a modest guy, but when it gets hot enough, it's time to streamline. If you decide to randomly show up at my house, and you knock first, don't be surprised if I take awhile to answer the door. I'll be putting on pants.

2) I have one fan. Never leave its general proximity. On occasion, stand directly in front of it.

3) Drink tons of water and keep plenty of ice frozen. Duh.

4) And finally, my master stoke, I'm gonna move my studio into the living room for now. That way I'll be under a ceiling fan and the light from my reading lamp won't kill me as bad. Now all I gotta do is figure out how to get my desk through the doorway...
