Stupid Yahoo IM! I log in and can't see what I post nor can I see what people are saying to me.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Edit: Oh yeah, it's better now...

I looked - you don't want to know.

(sigh) I need something new to be excited about. Bad ru-ru getting me down and there's nowhere to escape it because there are too many sources of stress in my life right now. It's bloody depressing.

LoT: the Hawaiian Island on the not-so-pacific "ring of fire" that is my life.

So I just got a whole bunch of Netflix discs in the mail today. Two of the three are Oscar shorts: 2005 and 2006. Remember that really cute boy from the last HP film? He's in one of them, along with the girl who played Miss Darcy in the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice.

What's Ru-Ru?

Morrigoon · 06-01-2007, 10:00 PM

Like mojo, only sh*tty.

Mousey Girl · 06-01-2007, 10:55 PM

My life truly sux.

So, I'm slightly terrified that my condo is on fire.

I was sitting here in the living room, on the couch, and suddenly there was this loud sparking noise and I look over and the hallway light fixture is filling with smoke. So I rush over, futz with the light switch because I'm in a panic and can't remember which switch controls which light and I hit a switch and it's not turning off and we're all going to die.

But I got it turned off, yelled for Ryan (who still doesn't get that if I yell for him like that it's an emergency, and I don't have time to explain in great detail exactly what is going on and convince him that he has to pay attention), who came down and took the cover off the light fixture. The light fixture is super hot, and two of the three bulbs are broken in the fixture so that they can't be unscrewed. (Or at least they can't be easily unscrewed.) The unit now smells like smoke. Bad smoke. Electrical smoke.

So now I'm a little terrified that there's some fire smoldering in my ceiling, and I'm afraid to go to bed. How would I know if there's a fire smoldering in my ceiling? The ceiling doesn't feel hot. The floor above doesn't feel hot. But it smells like smoke in here. Is it the smoke from before I got the light turned off? And why was it smoking? What the hell is wrong? And if I fall asleep, because it's nearly midnight, will I die in a fire?

Um, might I suggest calling the fire department instead of posting here? Go to the circuit breaker and turn off the entire circuit.

Morrigoon · 06-01-2007, 11:46 PM

Yeah, definitely hit the circuit breaker. And Kevy's right about calling out the dept too. Or at least calling them to ask. Maybe look up their actual phone number instead of going through 911?
