The Sun's Inching Closer

Crazy, cruel, relentless, raging, unbearable, unbelievable GLOBAL WARMING.

It's here. And it's hitting us hard. Beginning with the hottest summer yet. melt-your-bones, crave-for-cones, stay-at-home, iced-water-guzzling, fans-a-blasting, 3-baths-a-hour, desperate-for-a-shower kind of hot.

These are desolate times. We need to band together. It is a time when you get preyed on by advertising and make bad, subconscious decisions. Hold on while i go grab a bottle of ice cold coke from my fridge. And change my wallpaper to a picture of a bottle of cold Snapple.

It's times like these when we need the support groups. as a community suffering, not so much in silence, but in the apathy that pervades if we do nothing about it. Live Aid Concerts, Earth Hours, Earth Days I say! Just leave the air conditioning on while we cut off the rest of the power.

Everyone can contribute in their own ways. Be it well-meaning self-help survival guides for the weather (Summer Survival Guide, LamFunky) ; or pointless ranting with green messages not-so-sneakily inserted (The Sun's Inching Closer, yours truly), we can all make a difference.

Start today. Plant a tree; recycle the recyclable; live by candles at night; go on a week-long ipod strike so you don't keep charging it; watch less reality tv; keep the mini coopers at home and take the bus; plant more trees.

It helps. Let's begin. After American Idol.
