Today I read the first half of No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July, which was sent to me by my friend A. I think it's brilliant, but it's also disturbing. None of the blurbs on the back mention the disturbing part.

Today was remarkable in that workers came and installed a new air conditioner. They were here for more than an hour. The new one works only slightly better than the old one. I was disappointed when I noticed this.

Then the power went off. It was supposed to be 102 today, so that was a problem. I went to the post office and the library. At the library I wrote two letters and read some Hello, Cruel World by Kate Bornstein.
