The sun! It burns!

Literally. Darned California sun. Darned being white as a ghost. It takes me ten minutes to drive to work. Ten. And in that time my arm gets burned bright red, sunburned to the point of it hurting. In ten minutes. This is not just an early summer thing, it happens to me spring-to-fall.

Note to self: Take the sunblock off desk, put in car.

Ow ow, my poor arm.

And related(?). The end of the world has been rescheduled. Harold Camping now says end is coming October 21st. I really hope he gets no news coverage this time...

Well, now, to be entirely fair to the old crazy man, that was the original end date of his prediction anyway.

It was "Faithful will be raptured on May 21, then tribulation, then world ends on October 21."

And people are baffled when i say I hate the sun :<
I am very-very white, and when it's sunny in our part of the world - it is to the extreme, and usually a rarity that kind of happens in bursts. So, no sunblock laying around on regular basis.

The only salvation is freckles.

This is clearly all just build up for December 21st 2012, the real end of the world!

Ah, the sun. I have the exact opposite problem: I got my first person speaking spanish to me of the year, just last week. (I brown up like a toasted marshmallow. lol)

Anyway, I read that about Harold Camping. That dude better hope he passes away by old age before October 21st or something, because he's running out of excuses.

The Great Disappointment, round 2! Miller said the same shit about October 1844.
