I woke up this morning thinking the temperature was tolerable. I popped in The Host I got from Netflix and started watching. About half way through the movie, I thought it was not as mediocre as PK said. I might even lend it to John and Jane. My neighbor bought a portable AC and came to ask me to help her assemble it in her bedroom. I paused the movie and went over to her apartment. It looked like an easy job and we managed to get it installed successfully. She has always been very nice to me, so it is nice to help her today.
When I came back and resumed the movie, I noticed the apartment had become noticeably warmer. By the time I finished the DVD, I was sweating and feeling miserable. The film, unfortunately, wasn't that good the second half, so I wouldn't be recommending it to John or Jane. It tried to go all out and carry more than it could. If it stayed a family + monster movie, without all the conspiracy + sudden new characters introduced in the last 1/3 of the film + stop-and-go with the main leads towards the end + unnecessary and excessive slow-motion action shots, I would like it a lot more. I also didn't understand why the monster didn't eat, or finally decided to eat some of the victims later in the film. No it's not very good. Was it all just marketing? Sign. I ended up returning it to Netflix.
The summer is here indeed. After lunch I tried to take a nap because I was so tired from the heat. Then when I woke up an hour later I felt even more sick. I drank a lot of water and finally couldn't take it anymore and drove myself to Target. How nice to have a working AC!
