It's getting hot in here
And, following the sage advice of Nelly (although I refuse to spell "here" with more than one "r," no matter how helpful I find his suggestions), I've already removed most of my clothing, not that it seems to be helping. Also not helping is the strata I decided to make for dinner, which, according to the recipe, was only supposed to need 40 to 50 minutes in the oven. After two hours, I still wasn't sure it was completely cooked, but the last thing my unair-conditioned apartment needs is 350 more degrees, so I finally turned the oven off. (After which I promptly stuck my head in the freezer, ultimately deciding that no, it is not possible for me to sleep in there.)
If you don't hear from me in the next few days, it's probably safe to assume that I've:
a) pulled a Lindsay Lohan and succumbed to heat exhaustion (although in my case, "heat exhaustion" won't actually be code for "massive hangover")
b) tried again to fit myself into the freezer...and failed
c) drowned while attempting to sleep in a cold bath
d) contracted a violent case of food poisoning from undercooked strata, or
e) all or some combination of the above.
