Hot, Hot, Hot

Helly Bloggy,
I've been lackadaisical in writing lately. It's too freakin' hot, and not much has been going on. The heat wave topped out at temperatures in the high eighties and low nineties in Santa Barbara. I can only imagine what LA must have been like. I was one of the lucky ones that got to go to the beach every single day of the heat wave. I floated, euphorically, in the ocean, where the water temp was a cool 64 degrees. Ahhhh. My favorite place. I felt like I was on a mini-vacation.
Despite my best efforts, umbrellas, sunscreen, I still got a little sunburned. Funny to hear how the weather affects nearly everyone's conversation. People fell into two camps: The 'Omigod it's too F'n hot' camp and the 'Oh, This is nothing!' camp. I guess that depends on where you're from. If you're used to humidity and lung crushing heat, than I guess this summer blaster was tolerable for you. If you're like me and you're from California, than we are a little spoiled, I guess, not used to such drastic temperature change. To make matters worse, my house has NO insulation and inside our top floor it was at least 12-15 degrees hotter, making it climb into triple digits, no joke, so I could not be inside at home during this. I couldn't paint or work on anything at home, so I threw up my hands and spent the last few days at the beach with no guilt and all enjoyment.
On other fascinating nail biting topics besides the weather, I've been working on more signs for various restaurants around town. This latest one was for Chuck's Steakhouse down at the harbor:
I got to incorporate a little stenciling for this one, which was fun. I go back there today to faux finish their ceiling, now that it's cooler I can actually work.
And by the way, I'm looking for new summer music to listen to, so if anyone has some personal favorites, please let me know! I need to branch out. I haven't been listening to anything new lately. Please help me by making some suggestions, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
Cheers!
