Hot hot heat

Oct 24, 2005 08:42

I hate when they turn the heat on. I hate it--I hate the smell of it, I hate the whistling noise it makes against the air vents once I close them, I hate that my windows are hermetically sealed and impossible to open. It's my sister who turns the heat on upstairs--she gets cold and I get hot, that's the story of our living together ( Read more... )

Maybe you would like radiant heat flooring better. Every apartment I've lived in Korea has had it, and now I don't want to use anything else. It's wonderful.

At least you have heat. Campus here is heated by steam, and apparently they've been doing some maintenance all summer and won't be able to have heat back up and running until next week. Which'd be fine, if it weren't 30°F this mornin'. Aie. Am considering using coffee only as hand-warming-liquid and not happy-drinky-bean-juice, which is nigh unto an unforgivable heresy. October makes heretics of us all.

Anne Rice promises to now write only for the Lord.

Amen. I guess I have to go build a church now, don't I?

dude... my campus was all "It's going to be too expensive to heat this year. So some dorms have no heat.

...and we're in Maine.

Good holy cow. That's insane. Hell, I'd keep it on in the summer just to make sure. I think you're legally justified in starting bonfires indoors now....

The dorms at SUNY Potsdam (upstate NY, on the Canadian border) were never heated very well. I'm at Ithaca College now, because SUNY Potsdam was bad in more ways than just the lack of heat (grr). Anyway...other than the cold weather, I like Maine (Mom's from Waterville, Maine - grandparents are still there -, and my aunt and uncle run Wilson Pond Camps on Moosehead Lake). It's not so bad.

Reading this was weird, because 1) the heater at work is giving me the exact same angst right now and 2) I write the same way you do, and I've never met or heard of anyone else who has.

Thanks for the story links--it's going to be a loooong boring day and I left my book at home.

Francis Ford Coppola once said (of making movies), "I can count from one to ten, but not in that order." That's about the way of it. : )

I don't get it myself. I mean, are they so desperate for attention?

I once caught a guy posting one of my reviews as his own.

I should mention that it was a review where I REFERENCED MYSELF BY NAME, as in "David Carter....." I personally expect a little net plagarism, so be thankful that your plagerizers aren't so lazy as to leave your name all over the damn thing.

Hee! Someone stole POA once and left in all the references to "Cleo" and "the Lovely Emily," which was the best part.

Eugh, in the winter, we seal off our windows with plastic for better insulation (I live in Montreal, it gets pretty cold). I get that it's useful and all, but I hate it. Especially since last year, my parents put the plastic sealing over the whole window.. including my blinds.. so they were closed the whole winter and I couldn't get at them. And I really, really go nuts if I can't get fresh air in my [shared and very stuffy] room.
