DISGRASIAN’s Summer Reading: We All Scream For Ice Cream

We’ll be away from our desks the month of August, carrying on with the non-bloggy aspects of our lives, watching mindless movie blockbusters, and indulging in summery drinks made with generous pours of bourbon. During this month, we’ll be linking each day to a different website that we ♥. Hopefully you’ll discover something delightful and new while we’re gone. If not, you are a serious Captain Crankypants and are probably in dire need of a summery drink made with a generous pour of bourbon.

‘Til September, lovelies.





Summer shmummer. Guys, it’s too fucking hot in Los Angeles right now to do anything. Too hot to walk, too hot to think, too hot to blog, too hot to be nice. It is literally too hot for me to like anybody else’s site enough to send you there, so I’m breaking the DISGRASIAN vacasian rules.

Instead, I am sharing a video of a Japanese robot serving ice cream. It’s the only thing that can make me smile at this particular moment because I am COOKING INSIDE MY OWN SKIN. GOD HELP LOS ANGELES.

   We, on the opposite coast, have also been slogging through a summer of non-stop heat, but it’s abated a bit the past day or so. My attack on this is to always have a well-chilled watermelon in the fridge, ready to be cubed up into a large bowl. I have one in there right now. I’ve probably eaten about 15-20 of the things this summer.

   A robot making ice cream. Yes. And an ice cream-themed version of “Carmen”, too (I think, my Japanese is not so good).
