a garden of crust


it must actually be summer because the air conditioner broke yesterday. its far, far too warm in here, 93 degrees last time i checked the thermostat. my skin's all pink and glowy and the rats are playing dead. they've stopped making rat piles and are now spread out all over the cages with their little bellies pressed to the floor, trying to create a greater surface area for heat dissipation. manji's been napping on the livingroom floor all day in a similar position. i've been going against the trend and staying curled up on the couch. i think the living room is the coolest room now because of the ceiling fan. i put the portable fan in the rat's room. its usually in here with the computer, but i think the rats need it more. everything is sticky and the windows are open even though there is absolutely no breeze. maybe i should go stand in the bathtub just in case i begin to melt.
