Orange is the new blue.

It's summer so normal people are doing summer things like softball or going to water parks or other activities that appear in tampon commercials.  

I don't do those things because all that shit is HOT and kinda poopy if water parks are involved.  

My summer consists of "cool" summer fun like eating a lot of cold salsa (that's inside burritos) and avoiding the sun.  

You really don't know how fucking terrible the sun is until it's with you for 22 hours of the day.  It's everywhere, y'all, and it never goes to bed.  I can't escape it's melanomic ways.

So I've been having dirty, sinful thoughts about taking off all my clothes at midnight and breaking into someone's backyard.  Where I will go night swimming.  One of my favorite activities of all time.

Except if you're talking about swimming in a lake because that's just gross and I don't like to do that during the day time.

Not a damn clue...

But a pool, the ocean or even a large culvert will do me just fine.  Hey, I'm not picky about my nighttime water parks.

Here I think...

In somewhat unrelated visual news, I'm kinda getting obsessed with deep, midnight, inky, not gonna get e. coli from swimming in the water, dark blue.  I think it's my color for this summer.

My dreams of water.  I'm really reaching for this interpretation, huh?

Technically my favorite color this summer is orange because I've started binge watching Orange is the New Black aka "The Story of What Would Happen if Lacy Went to Prison" and it's marvelous.

It's not what I thought even though I really didn't have any expectations but it's worth your time.

It's technically my version of night swimming.  On the couch.  Charlemagne's a licker so it's kinda wet...?

Night swimming heaven right here.  It's like swimming inside magic.  Or your neighbor's kiddie pool at 1 AM.  Same thing.

A little golden river... like peeing in the ocean methinks.  (Sorry, fancy architect)

And almost more than stolen kiddie pool moments, I love all these watery paintings by Andrea Pramuk.  

I would steal one then go to prison and they'd make a show about it that you could binge watch.  My gift to the world.

Hope they have cold salsa (in burritos) in prison.
