Attention, department stores, TV networks, and a few trees that I have recently seen:
STOP ADVERTISING FALL IS COMING!
I know the order in which the seasons come. I learned that in preschool. Please just let me enjoy my last month of summer without reminding me that soon autumn will be upon us. Because after that comes winter, and with winter comes that horrible thing called cold. I don't want to think about that. I just want to spend afternoons laying out in my hammock, wearing my bikini, and sipping daiquiris while enjoying some light summer reading, like Harry Potter or Maxim Magazine (which I read just for the articles, of course).

You could always just throw on some socks if your feet get cold.
Check your mailbox.
Since it's August 1, I expect the pre-Christmas sales will begin soon. I just hate that.
I found the perfect remedy to that nasty thing called "cold"... Texas. They "think" it gets cold here, but it never really does. Of course, you sacrifice ever seeing real snow again, but I think it's worth it.
Winter in Chicago is unbearable, and I too do not like to be reminded of it's impending doom in the middle of summer..jerks. Sometimes I wonder why it is I moved here from Australia?.....
I know! They've had school supply displays in stores for weeks! I'm not even IN school and it depresses me...
Photographic evidence, please. I want to see you reading Maxim. Oh, and yeah, in a bikini for sure.
The Easter bunny will be next to Foley's or Dillards for photo op's by next Saturday.

It's sick to think I have to think about fall shopping when I won't be able to sport the threads until at least October or so. My experiences in retail make it even worse. Post July 4th, shipments of Labor Day shit. Mid August, shipments of Halloween shit. Day after Halloween, shipments of Christmas shit. January 2nd, shipments of Valentines/St. Patty's Day. Feb. 1st brings Easter shit.
It makes life seem as though it is a huge phase shift. When you are a kid, things are so much better. Ignorance is bliss...
Peace
If I didn't have to walk to the metro and my car each day I'd never know there were seasons... the damn ac in my office is always full blast... oh, have you stocked up on thermal undies yet? Falls' a comin!
Just be thankful you don't live in Canada. I think Canadian winters are far more brutal.
I agree with you though, I don't want to here about fall, our summer up here was short enough.
totally. I went shopping this weekend and was all "oh - cool fall bag! AMAZING fall stilettoes! Maybe I could get a sweater to match..."
then I walked outside and almost burst into tears - it was such goregous goregous weather!!!
I fucking hate august.
Nice Blog and Funny Posts
Greetings from south of the border
the funny thing is, i'm over 16 years removed from grade school and 9 years removed from college, and i still cringe at seeing those back to school ads which start to appear around mid-late july!
First, I think you should consider sticking with the bikini year round. I'm sure the cold winter there will be much more enjoyable for everyone involved. Second, don't go to Texas, the summers really suck, too humid. You already have the bikini so I'd say Southern California is the place if you want nice weather all year. I will appreciate it even more when I know you are all digging yourselves out of the snow everyday (sorry). Third, um, remember that the southern half of the planet has summer in December, so those that celebrate Christmas there do it in a bikini. See, you are so worldly :)
(Jerk reads post) Something........something......Hot chick in bikini laying in Hammock.... some other stuff, english I think......
Hey, thanks for the comment fellow Hockey fan!
You read Maxim? That's soooo cool! It's sort of a mag geared to guys, but that's cool if women are reading it now too, just as long as they don't replace the hot chicks in there with Tampon ads. :P
I found the perfect cure for Texas...everywhere else.
Yeah, I used to get sick to my stomach with the Back to School ads. I mean Christ, let us enjoy the swelter.
BTW, on July 31 I did actually get a Christmas catalog. Bastards!
There was actually a news story here (in NYC) the other night about a store already preparing for the holidays. As in Christmas. As in winter. Gotta' love constantly living 5 months in the future...or not.
I Hate that summer is leaving. I live in San Diego and I haven't even been to the beach yet. I've been way too busy and now that I'm starting to find time to do something other than work or go to school , no one else is. I used to go to the beach almost everyday during the summer. Oh well, not like it gets cold here too much anyways :p CALI Rules.
But shopping in August is fun when you run into great deals. I spent $200 bucks this past weekend and had an amazing amount of bags piled up in my back seat. Who can pass up cute tank tops for $5 or cute summer purses for under $10? Not me!
I love the clothes for Autumn. The only thing I dread is the tan fading.
