summers in pasadena are freakin' HOT. so hot, in fact, that since i don't have central air, i can't sleep. my room temperature goes up to over 100 degrees. no joke. so in light of all this, eman thoughtfully bought me a small air conditioner for my room. [i already have a unit in my living area.] i've been sleeping soundly since, and today after work when i ran into my building manager i started to rave about it.

"oh you gotta get one carroll!"
"yah, i think i will. you know, you should get a board for your window soon. they can cut one for you at osh or home depot..."
"it makes such a big difference!"
"...you just have to give them the measurements..."
"and it wasn't as expensive as i thought it to be."
"...and they cut it while you wait..."
"you can get a smaller one at costco for a like hundred bucks!"
"actually, if you go before they close today you can put it in your window tonite. i can help you if you like."
"put what in my window?"
"the board."
"oh yah." [pause] "why do i need a board in my window?"
[awkward pause as she stares at me]
"um...to keep in the cold air? so you don't waste it?"
[pause] "oh yah! right! i guess that makes sense."
[awkward pause as she stares at me]
"well, it was nice chatting with you hannah. have a good evening."
