It's Too Hot!

Let the record show that if I disappear in the next few days, I've probably shrivelled up and died in the heat. It's been consistently 100 degrees where we live and over 115 inland. Even by the ocean, it gets up to the 90s during the worst of the afternoon heat. Since our apartment is basically a greenhouse, we've resorted to filling the rabbit's cage with ice packs, putting him in the darkest corner, and hiding in any number of air conditioned locations for the worst of every afternoon. Bookstores, libraries, malls, movie theaters, restaurants, ice cream shops, and coffee shops are all doing much better business than usual.

To illustrate exactly what I mean when I say hot, we went to Sherman Oaks last night and it was 90+ degrees at 11 p.m!

Boba Time: I hadn't planned on checking this place out, but we were invited to spend an evening at our friend's apartment right on the water, where it was a chilly 77 degrees at night. Anyway, we passed by Boba Time and had a really nice Korean style shaved ice. The ice cream they use is a little commercial (read: too sweet, a little gummy, not very vanilla-y) but I loved their assortment of small diced fruits. There were fresh mangoes, strawberries, kiwis, canned grapes, pears, lychee jello, boba, and probably a few other things. Very refreshing, and a nice change from Mr. Coffee. The place N and J took me to in Fullerton is still the best, though.
