Thwarted yet again

My wish came true! It stopped raining! I can rollerblade again!
Except i can't.
After the rain stopped, mother nature cruelly threw in the only other weather in which I will not go outside and exercise in: 95 degrees.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate summer. I never want it to be above 80 degrees. I am ok if I can go outside in a tank top, jeans, and flip flops comfortably, but hotter than that, and I'm the most miserable person ever. You see, we don't have central air. We have one window unit for our somewhere-between-800-and-1,000 square foot apartment. This does make a difference, but not nearly enough. Last year, I set up what I thought was an ingenious method of fans to keep cool:

This year, I decided it wasn't enough and added 4 more fans to our repertoire. I believe that before this, every fan we own was given to us by my parents or in-laws. I had never bought fans before, and damn, are they expensive. I wanted to buy the modern looking, oscillating tower fans, but they were $60 each, and I couldn't justify spending almost $250 on fans. So I bought 2 small high-velocity fans and then 2 of the circular oscillating fans. Here's the new system:
It's been fairly cool today, even after I cooked breakfast. This heat wave isn't supposed to let up anytime soon, so hopefully this is a manageable system. I think the key was taking the cooler air from the back and pushing it out towards the sunny part. I've also closed all of our blinds to at least halfway, which I hate, but I'm sure makes a difference.

The worst part of all this was when JP came to me yesterday while I was doing dishes and said, "Do I have a fever?" I touched him and freaked out. After several courses of cold compresses, feet in cool water, and drinking tons of water, he was delirious. I forced him into a cool bath and then fed him some carrots (I was worried about electrolytes after all the water, plus it was amusing to watch him eat carrots in the bathtub.). His fever mostly broke after that, but hours later when I bought a thermometer, it was still at 100 degrees. That means he was probably running around 102 or 103 earlier. Yikes! Personally, I only get fevers if I am at death's door, so I was scared. Plus, JP delirious? Yeah, not fun.

Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'

JP and I have a coffee table that some of you may remember. My father made it for us. It's a great design - mission style, with mosaic tiles on top. Unfortunately, it has been moved three separate times and keeps losing tiles. It's hard to clean because of the tiles and grout, and well, it's just seen better days. So I wanted to change the top without losing the rest of the table. I decided our best bet was to decoupage a big piece of wood that we would simply nail on top of the table. When trying to design it, I was completely befuddled. What theme do I want? How big should the pictures be? Do they all face the same way? Completely covered or spaces between? It gave me headaches to try and work it.
And then my genius of a husband suggested writing. Not just any writing, but quotes that we like and wanted to display. The muse struck me the other day, and I started the design and so far, it's fan-fucking-tastic. I love it.

The only thing is, I need more quotes! There are a few standbys that I love that are on there, but the rest are from a quick Google search for Carroll, Shakespeare, and Plato quotes. While all three of these people have many wonderful things to say, I need something more.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it (and I must insist that you do!) is to leave me quotes in the comments. They can be song lyrics, famous writers, politicians, whatever. Don't make them too sappy or cliche (they'll never pass the JP test) or too bleak (I'll reject them). Please tell me the source if you know it.
When the table is finished (I'm hoping by, say, August, with our track record for these sorts of things), I'll post pictures and give credit to all who contributed. If you want to see the mock design, email me and I'll send you a jpeg of what I've put together so far.
Now go to town!
