The one definite thing I can say about Atlanta after only being here two weeks is that it's damn hot!!! The humidity just sucks the energy right out of you leaving you to marinade in your own juices. It's pretty disgusting to say the least. It amazes me that at 8am, it feels like it's already 90F and you're just sweating away. It's like Atlanta was designed to be one big sweat factory. I thought I would be used to humidity after living in DC for 2 years but then I realized I normally spend my summers on the dry west coast. At this point, I could really use those California beaches to cool off.
The other thing I don't understand is how fast the weather can change on you here. It will be sunny with a few clouds, hot, and humid as you feel yourself melting away. All of sudden, the wind kicks up, these huge black clouds come in that sit very low in the sky, thunder rattles the apartment and shakes the ground, then buckets and buckets of rain just come pouring down along with all this lightening that lights up the entire sky and knocks out power for a little bit. The storms get so bad that you can't even see more than 8 feet in front of you. The storms last at most 30 minutes then it's back to normal as if nothing ever happened. I equate this with earthquakes in California except we don't get them everyday and they don't last 30 minutes!
The Tyger and I have pretty much established a summer routine that I feel everyone should follow. We basically watch TV all day, sometimes lay out by the pool and sweat some more, drink beer/wine at night, and then repeat the next day. It's kind of like the directions on a shampoo bottle, "Wash, rinse, repeat." It's that simple.
Our TV watching consists of Law & Order marathons specifically SVU (Special Victims Unit) with Mariska Hargitay who plays Detective Olivia Benson and Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler. To be honest, we watch the show just see Stabler's hot body! *sigh* I would do that guy any day of the week! Other TV watching includes the Atlanta Braves baseball games where we not only keep track of scores but also on who has the best ass on the team. The Food Network channel is where we get in our food porn and foodgasms for the day. Hey, when you're single and not getting any, any kind of porn will do!
That's pretty much what we do and then occasionally we manage to pull ourselves out of the apartment to go drink some place else. Of course we make sure the place we go to has a TV so we don't feel totally lost.
