Rants brewin'

I suspect I'll be ranting about modern/current gen consoles again in the near future.

Also, the reading habit hasn't gone far yet. I did try sitting down to read once and after 15 minutes found myself with one hell of a nausiating headache/sensation. I suspect two things. Poor lighting and the need for new glasses. The lights I'm able to use in this apartment are in the 40-60 watt range. The lighting fixtures indicate that's what they're rated for, and I've noticed that putting higher wattage in those things tend to have them blow out fairly quickly. I had put higher watt bulbs in them in the past prior to noticing the insanely low wattage limitation stickers on them. Of course, they still blow out earlier than I expect them to, but not nearly as fast as before.

I'm not willing to get the more efficient ones that have mercury in them. I find myself too clumsy to trust myself around such things.

Otherwise, spring cleaning continues now that I can finally get a chance to do a load of laundry again. All week long there'd be one of the other tenants leaving their clothes in the washer and/or dryer. One of the others got pissed off enough with it happening that they took the other guys stuff out of the dryer and put it on top!

I'd be more impressed with his actions if he DIDN'T LEAVE HIS OWN SHIT IN THE DRYER AFTERWARD.

Have you considered small table or area lamp? You can probably find one for cheap at a yard sale. Failing that, you could try to schedule your reading during daylight hours and open a window.

I'm planning on the latter route, since the apartment's already pretty full. Plus so long as I can manage to keep my sleeping schedule in the morning, I'll be up during the afternoon prior to going to work.
