sometimes I want to be Sherlock Holmes. it'd be a nice justification for feeling misanthropic

When an introvert says that they don't want to see any people and want to spend the one day this week that it's possible by themselves the correct response isn't a pitting awww, the correct response is cool. So I have successfully brushed off all potential people who might stop by (and just in case I've locked the door ( Read more... )

This sounds like the perfect day. Also, introverts ftw!

And I'm glad Game of Shadows is living up to expectations!

I knew you would understand where I was coming from. :) Indeed.

Me too. I would have been sad had I not liked it at least as much as the first one, and I think I might like it better over all, though there are specific scenes from the first that can't be beat. I'll have to investigate further.

Yes, there's always the chance with sequels of them not living up to the original, but fandom's been lucky so far. I am dying to see this movie even more now.

Also, investigate. I see what you did there. XD

I am curious to know more about your water heating. Did you build it yourselves?

We did build it ourselves. Or more accurately T built it while I helped and made lists of materials needed. There are two solar panels on the roof with pipes going down through the house to the tank in the basement. The water that circulates in the panels is actually a mix of water and antifreeze which keeps it from freezing in the winter and from boiling in the summer. The tank in the basement fills will water from the well and then the pipe from the roof runs through a coil of pipe inside the water tank exchanging heat (and keeping antifreeze out of our water). There is a circulating pump that is set to turn on when the water in the collectors on the roof is warmer than the water in the tank. If it's sunny there is basically free hot water (the pump is electric so we're paying for that, but it's pretty efficient). That is the story of our solar hot water ( ... )
