Too damned hot

robinturnerMy armpits stink, but I can't be bothered to do anything about it, as I'm alone in the house, and one shower per day is enough. What kind of weather is it when you have a shower, and a few hours later, youre already nasty-stinky-sweaty?
I hate Ankara summers in general, but this one is turning out to be ridiculously hot - yesterday it was hotter here than in Mersin (city on the south coast and well-known frying-pan). I suspect that one reason my normal nocturnal tendencies have been exaggerated (bedtime is now 4 a.m.) is that the temperature only comes down to an acceptable level after midnight.
The other problem is that if I venture outside, I might lose my Gothic pallor. If I could choose my skin colour, I'd probably be a dark olive, but I don't like that healthy, tanned, clean-living California Aryan look.

Date: 2003-07-06 05:36 pm (UTC)Here in Chicagoland (World's Sweatiest Amusement Park!), I've become accustomed to taking two showers a day in the summer when I can. The bad thing is to take a shower, drink a cup of coffee (I need my first caffeine of the day to be hot), and then sweat so much from the coffee that I feel like I need another shower.
