At least I didn't eat glass...

Posted on Jan 30th, 2008 by Lindsey : momento mori Lindsey
My heating/electrical bill is ridiculous this month, It was $265 for a little two bedroom apartment. Electric heat is awful. Anyway, as soon as that happened, i.e, yesterday I turned off my heat , but needed my little heat dish to keep warm. Now, I am one of those people who is notoriously cold. I like to do that whole boiling frog trick in the shower until my skin turns all red and crumbles off afterwards, I like to scald my skin in front of fires and heat lamps, and do so with joy, I think tanning beds are a little slice of heaven in the winter. But there are sideeffects like cancer or in this case something almost worse. I just wasn't too concerned sitting in front of the dish at a healthy 5 foot distance my socked feet nearly touching the grate. For maybe 40 minuets I pleasantly sat there, however, my computer is apparently less found of intense heat and as it lay on my stomach I suddenly got the sense it was getting too hot and realized I was melting my laptop casing. As I felt the hot black rear of the screen not quite as solidly as I was used to, my heart sank, and I felt like the doofus I was. I of course, immediately shut off the computer, closed it, and tried to cool it off. All I can say is shit. It looks fine, but the once smooth flat top is now slightly bowed and lumpy to the touch. I would try to heat up again and reform it, but luckily I have watched enough sitcoms in my life to avoid certain making-bad-situations-worse scenarios, I also know some basic science, shocking as it is considering this turn of events. I don't think it will effect the performance, but I am really pissed at myself and this fucking apartment, which luckily for me, I get to leave in two months! At which point I will be homeless. Because who can afford to live in this over priced yuppy paradise with no jobs, ahem, that I want.

And now some PMS driven political whining:
So I am excited for the Caucus next week, I am a huge supporter of Obama, and if he doesn't win the primaries and the election I am going to be incredibly upset possibly abandon America and potentially hurt some defenseless Democrats namely middle aged women who hopelessly and stupidly voted for Hillary because she is a women (if Obama doesn't win the primaries) and any Democrat who didn't vote, particularly if it is based on smug intellectual principle. In news today or yesterday perhaps, Giuliani pulls out and supports McCain whilst Edwards pulls out and supports no one... it just isn't right. Romney is definitely my choice for a Republican nominee, not because I like him better than McCain obviously but he has a chance of loosing to Obama, Hillary of course has no chance of winning anything would get little done in the white house and for god sake we are not voting for Bill and Hillary, just Hillary. If Bill could run again I would probably vote for him, but he's not. I know she has girl parts, I like them too but seriously Obama is so much better.
