Mission AC Accomplished

The AC is connected and up and running. I feel very accomplished, satisfied, and cool... real cool. It was actually quite painless to install once I mustered up the drive to do it. It feels pretty secure in the window, and I actually had no problem placing the unit, and closing the window down on top of it. I had helped a neighbor install her unit a couple weeks back, and it was much more awkward and precarious than mine. I'm glad that I did my research before picking one up that would have been more of a hassle, and overkill as far as what I need in my room.

I managed to finish a draft of a paper today as well which was satisfying. I should have another revision to look over tomorrow for a different paper (joy). It is always good to tie up some loose ends, where ever you may find them.

I scheduled some time off for early August today which will hopefully be another trip to NYC with Kate. We plan to go to Cony Island one day because it is the last summer for one of the major historic amusement parks. They are scheduled to rip everything down and start building luxury hotels and casinos this fall.

Sinatra, sponsored by "Lucky Strike"
I found this amusing... I don't think I've seen film or heard Sinatra sing when he was this young. He looks like he's in his early 20s.. if that. His voice is actually much more controlled here then the later lounge singing stylings which many have come to love. The sound quality isn't fantastic, but it's worth a listen.
