still roastin' :)
Jul. 5th, 2010 07:27 pmIt is INSANELY hot. My air conditioner is on full blast, I have a rotating fan blowing on me from the other side, I am drinking ice-cold water and still feeling kinda stuffy.:/ That's officially crazy, as far as I'm concerned.
Also, I lost power last night. I blew a fuse, because I had this stupid idea to toast a piece of bread that was still slightly damp after having been taken out of the freezer. And I KNEW I shouldn't turn on the toaster oven while the air conditioner is on. The last time I did that (about two years or so ago), I blew a fuse. Except I somehow didn't connect the dots this time.:/ So yeah... it was 11:30 p.m., and I had no power. Fortunately, only in the room, so the fridge was safe; but the air conditioner was dead. And I wasn't about to go down to the basement at midnight, looking for a fuse box (which, as far as I knew, wasn't even accessible to me, since the previous time I had to call the building management to get the problem fixed). So I cursed myself for a profound idiot and went to bed. I slept completely naked, on top of the covers, sweating profusely and feeling miserable (I couldn't even use a fan, since the power cord wasn't long enough to reach my bed from the closest working outlet in the kitchen). In the morning, I called the building management, and finally got the power back sometime around noon (and only THEN did they tell me where the fuse box actually is, and that yes, I DO have access to it... *headdesk*). So yeah... no more toast for me. Just cold salads. VERY cold salads. And ice-cream, because dammit, if THIS infernal heat isn't a good enough excuse for some ice-cream, then I don't know what is. *nods*
Also, remember that Polish fantasy comic series I was so crazy about that I almost killed my computer last summer trying to find a free download of the latest installment?... Well, a kind and merciful soul actually bought the print version and sent it to me by snail mail. ( I feel very spoiled right now.:) )
