Feb. 7th, 2010 05:56 pmOur heat went out for the third time in four weeks--the fourth time, really, if you count it working briefly after I hit its reset button earlier today and then dying again. This is definitely making me think more positively about moving this spring. Not only can I now not dance or do yoga today because the floor is ice cold, but I can't do laundry or dishes either, since there's no hot water.
Saw Avatar again yesterday, this time at the Imax theatre. I loved it even more. The aerial banshee scenes were just breathtaking on the huge screen. And the plot holes and often clunky dialogue didn't bother me that much this time around, probably because now I cared about the characters and could read more into their motivations. ( Spoilerish )
Man I'm cold. It's 63 degrees in here (that would be 17 C) and still no sign of the repairman. I suppose I could do my cold water laundry, but I do not relish the thought of hanging it all up. Maybe I'll bake something...
edited to add: yay, furnace guy came and the heat is fixed! The transistor in the lighting mechanism had gone bad. He felt that the previous two repairmen were idiots for not noticing this. He also gave me a crash course in types of fuel and heating systems and boilers which will be very useful for apartment hunting and maybe someday home buying, and also showed me things to do to optimize this boiler's performance. Yay for competent helpful people!
