It's been 80+ degrees in New York, as the greedy, awful summer clings on to its last few days. Bring on the fall weather.

Me, this morning, to our cat, after some discussion of what fall decorations we're going to put around the house: "It's decorative gourd season, mother fucker!"
My husband: "...Why are you swearing at the cat?"
::Proceeds to have the delight of watching husband read through the McSweeney's piece for the first time::

SPOILER ALERT:
“You’ve got to take it all in and enjoy it while you still can, though, because December will be here in the blink of an eye,” he added.
According to reports, Mr. Fall will then put on a down jacket with a fur-trimmed hood, buy a lift ticket at a local ski slope, and start getting short with people at work because the early sunset “affects his mood,” thus signaling the completion of his metamorphosis into Mr. Wintertime Asshole Man.

Mr. fucking Autumn Man is one of the damned harbingers. I'm glad you all welcome him because if I see him in the Mojave, I will lose my shit. In all seriousness, fall just increases my winter panic. I don't know how you all deal with it.

All you Autumn f*ckers can take a whole bag of dicks right in your ears. Summer is the only season fit for humankind and its end is to be greeted with fear and loathing..

Summer? Where I still have to go to work every day, except it's unbearably hot? It's nice for kids, I guess.
