Somebody must've been kicking the darkness.

I'm gonna go close my eyes and ignore the light for a little while.

Fun stories about the posessed electronics!

My friends had an air conditioner which, when turned on with a temperature below a certain one, caused the tv to turn on with it. I didn't believe it when they told me, until I saw it with my own eyes.

So, on shabbats, when they didn't want the tv turned on (they're practicing orthodox Jews), they had to be satisfied with a warmer apartment. In Israeli summers, this could be quite a sacrifice.

Oh, and is it still raining in NYC? Because we got such rains here now, that I hope it's theirs and they, at least, get a nice weather. I can't remember when last we had such a winter-y rain after Passover (or any rain, for that matters). Our springs are scorchers-nice weather for a day-some more scorchers, until it's just hot all around for the summer (which is, of course, scorchers-hot and humid weather for a few days-some more scorchers), after the couple of days of the previously described spring.

[Edit: I don't think I've ever written a sentence with that many "scorchers" in it. Must be the rain and the winter outside wishing to end, or something.]

Timelies, all! I'm sure eveyone is holding their breath, waiting to hear about my laundry. Using Simple Green, I got the stains out of everything but four pink shirts/dresses. I'm going to try again with some new stuff today.

Sadly, it's still raining here.

So, after my last post I got all shaky and realized I had to go to bed immediately, so I did. I still have the headache a little. Am very glad not to be ita at this moment, because I'm pretty sure I won't have a headache tomorrow.

Congrats on the gig, Spidra.

Now I'm watching the rest of the GA clip show and I still love "va-jay-jay." FYI.

Using Simple Green

SIMPLE GREEN IS PEOPLE!

Sorry, couldn't not.

Also, I've found that the best feeling in the whole entire world is when you cram and cram for the two days at your disposal to write up an entire project report, even though you know it's going to be crap because you just don't have the time, and then get told you got the deadline wrong, and you have until the end of the week. Ah, relief.

Ooh, that is good, Jars.

Timelies.

I'm watching the second installment of Dark Kingdom. I'm not familiar with the Nibelung story, but I assume it's more interesting than this.

Still, it's there, and it's perfect "there" television.

Sillies. Why not unplug the TV, before Shabbat?

Oh, this is just unfair. If we get your rain, you should get some of our sunshine.

Feel better, Jesse.

I think they needed to move a heavy cabinet in order to get to its electricity socket, if I remember their living room correctly (they don't live there anymore). I remember that there was a perfectly logical reason for that.

I should probably apologize for my crankiness over the past couple of weeks, which is likely to contintue for the next three weeks. Things aren't actually bad, I'm just cranky.
