It was very hot yesterday in Ann Arbor. When I went out in the morning, I thought to myself, "Hey now, this isn't too bad. I'll have no trouble walking around for hours on end."

Wrong.

We walked around for a little while, but then had to stop for something to eat, as I was getting grumpy. Yes, we broke the proverbial seal far too early. The air conditioning and digesting food just killed us and after that, we could only go for maybe a half-hour without AC or something cold. I had the wonderful peanut butter truffle shuffle ice cream at Stucchi's. It's no Vanilla PB swirl, but it's pretty freaking good.

I got a framed picture of an outcropping of outhouses for my dad. Don't ask, but trust me when I say that he'll probably find it funny and want to put it up somewhere prominent and my mom will fight him on it and eventually pretend to give in by agreeing to put it somewhere that my dad doesn't realize will be behind a door for most of the time.

Better outhouses than more lighthouses, I say.

I also got a little wooden puzzle with her name in it for my cousin Sarah. That will be her Christmas present. Thankfully, I didn't spend too much money on her, because she's a brat. No tolerance for that. She better grow out of that shit in a hurry.

Tonight, I'm going out with Kara to dinner. If all I hear about it the bar exam, I will throw myself, ninja-style, through a window and then scamper down the street. I will blend in with the night, so that she cannot find me and bore me to tears with information on environmental law and the new Supreme Court justice nominee and luoehnkdyoinkyrihbfs.
