heat wave

I know everyone who lives on the East Coast has already complained about the heat but honestly, it's just brutal. I went outside to get the paper a few minutes ago(it's a little after seven in the morning) and it was like getting hit in the face with a big thick sweaty blanket. Ick!

It's basically too hot to go anywhere or do anything, so it's just as well that my husband and I have recently gotten hooked on Life on Mars. However, I *really* wish that BBC America wouldn't cut out part of each episode to make way for commercials. A&E does that with MI-5 (known as Spooks in the UK) and when I watched the first season of that show, certain storylines *really* got shortchanged, to the point where when I finally saw the full episodes on dvd, I was all, "OH! Now I get why that happened!" Hopefully the cuts made to Life on Mars won't be that drastic.
