And my thermostat is broken.
I am going to die.
But at least I don't have to worry about dying from WEST NILE VIRUS.

(That orange writing near the bottom says, "Repels mosquitoes that may carry West Nile Virus." I suddenly have a suspicion that Skintastic's advertising agency is behind some of those scare stories you occasionally see on TV.)

Journal entry number two:
Two hours have elapsed, and the situation has worsened. I can have no rest: my bed is nought but a pit of sweat and despair. My eyes, empty, affix upon it from across the darkness of the room.
My flesh grows weary and will soon give in; yet the heat is unrelenting, tireless, like some unnatural predator. It draws close to me, breathing down my face, pressing upon my chest, suffocating me. Surely this is the end.
I have no will to flee, nor could I anyway. My body, naked except for my underwear, has become affixed by perspiration to the faux leather chair I sit upon. I am trapped! I ponder my death.
How I long to be one with the cold earth.

Been going through the same here. It doesn't get *that* hot, but our apartment traps heat in like nothing you can imagine. It's rather unbearable.
-
Wind, I don't know if you've heard of it up there in Canada, but it's called air conditioning. I cranked it up to max, it's like 52 degrees in here. I'm sitting here sipping hot chocolate.
-
Our apartment has no air conditioning. The best we can do are fans and swamp coolers, and those are a pain in the ass.

No A/C? Holy shit that sucks, in both places I've lived (Arizona and Texas) you pretty much HAVE to have some form of A/C during the summer. This summer has been relatively cool compared to last summer, so we haven't been using the A/C too much, but during the day the thermostat is set on around 75-76 F. I really wish we had a ceiling fan in the living room though since that's where we do all of our board gaming when friends come over, it gets a bit stuffy sometimes with all of the people in the same room.

Actually, Edgar Allan Poe comes to mind. I'm thinking of "The Tell-Tale Heart". What would go well with that? Some creepy music, starting out slow, then building up as his despair grows.
-
I thought it would be too common to have the creepy music.. it's hard to kill yourself so, i thought mission impossible was suitable but then it ruins the mood - makes it too comedic.
well we could always have some gregorian chants?

I disagree. This series of diary entries needs to steadily progress into increasing paranoia.
