c-c-cold. So very cold...

I'm not quite there, but one can dream. It's not that I don't like the heat. I enjoy summer. But a sauna is not an ideal workplace, therefore, Air Conditioning is a must. And as luck would have it, I have A/C!

I spent the morning walking the nearby mall, as it was still unbearably hot in my apartment this AM. I hardly slept a wink last night, but had a great time re-reading STRAY BULLETS.

Anyway, when I returned home around noon, I braved the stickiness and worked my way to the thermostat situated near my balcony. After saying a silent prayer, I flicked the switch to "COOL". I turned the fan on "HIGH". And like a a miner who had been trapped underground for a grueling couple of days, I slowly reached my hand upwards, not towards fresh air seeping in through the rubble, but to the vent of my heater/air-con unit. And I felt the sweet relief of cool air on my fingertips.

I have yet to turn it off, and only now, around 5 PM, does the apartment feel a little cooler. The heatwave should lift tomorrow! Then I'll have no excuse but to work on my comic! Yah!

I've been inspired by various sources to write some micro-fictions. read: short, short stories. I'm in the midst of tackling prose writing, something I haven't done since I was in school. And somehow I want to incorporate prose into the telling of Kissing Chaos. How this will all work, remains to be seen.

I have written several more installments of my Kissing Chaos production diary THE STRUGGLE, but I'm holding off on posting them. I'm waiting until I have more definite answers as to when things will be appearing online and getting available for purchase. Lot's of stuff has been happening, and I've been working like mad, and hopefully soon I'll be able to share the fruits of that labour!

Keep it locked!
