Time to call the manager. Once my hands warm up.

Commander Fuzzhead is curled under a down vest, looking much warmer than he did a moment ago. Just a striped whiskery face and two relaxed ears can be seen, white chin resting on the edge of the chair.

wildernessguru is snuggled under the down comforter and my Western Mountaineering 700-fill down sleeping bag. He's a pile of clashing oranges and reds, face hidden, long blond hair a tangled spill over the pillow. He has on one wool sock (he couldn't find the other one) and slept in the middle of the bed last night, crushing me against the wall. That'll teach me not to sleep on "his" side of the bed.

The tea kettle is boiling and the oven's on for bagels. (No microwave in this house.)

I'm sitting cross-legged on the couch, wearing WG's fleece pants and my biggest warmest oversized fleece sweater. Can't find my wool socks either.

Getting the impression it's cold in here? We've had no hot water and no heat since 4 a.m. I can't find the manager's number to call, though I'm a little sick of being the designated complainer.

Now excuse me a minute, the kettle's boiling over. What do you think? Cinnamon or Lemon-Ginger?


ETA: Cinnamon it is. And WG (grumbling) made the call to the manager. And I'm not moving from the warm spot on the couch, not until I absolutely have to.

Heat? It's still November. You just need more computers! ;)

If it'll warm this place up I'll move in a mainframe.

Oh, that would do it. You'd have to get air conditioning, though, or the processors would melt . . .

Cinnamon ;). An kudos for not having a microwae either! And sending over some feeble warm thoughts...

I'm fairly sure that microwaves turn food into toxic waste and we'll all be glowing and contributing to the greenhouse effect within a few years.

On the plus-side, some radioactive decay could warm this place up. Maybe I should invite over a few microwave-owning neighbors. Oh. Right. No bath. *Icarus sniffs self and gazes at oily visage in the mirror.* I'm not fit for the public right now.

The worst part is, I may have to go to class and vote today looking like this.

And I have a presentation to give.

Hat. Definitely need a hat.

*sends sympathy*
(Because I've been there!)

Not going to say how warm it is today at 38 degrees latitude, but the building I work in currently has no windows... (November is apparently the preferred month for putting in replacement windows, since we're not running the air conditioners any more)

Does make for some really spectacular views, however...

(And Yay -- voting!! Yes!)

Rock on! The other person in the world who doesn't use or own a microwave! hehe. I don't trust the damned things, myself. ::grumbles about low-levels of 'harmless' radiation::

And that stuff with Italy? Creepy stuff, man. It makes me wonder when we're going to be invaded and have Bush deposed so we can all be free. lol
